How to book GIGM online
- Go to GIGM’s official website or download the GIGM app.
- Choose your departure terminal, destination and travel date.
- Pick your bus class and seat.
- Enter passenger details and pay online.
- Save or print your ticket and arrive at the terminal early for check-in.
You can also buy a ticket at the terminal counter, but popular departures, especially around public holidays and in December, can sell out. Only book through GIGM’s own channels or at the terminal to avoid ticket scams.
Tips for travelling with GIGM
- Book early for peak periods. Festive and end-of-year travel fills buses quickly, and fares can rise.
- Choose the right terminal. In Lagos, pick the terminal closest to you rather than crossing the city in traffic on departure day.
- Check luggage rules when booking. Ask about the free allowance and charges for extra bags before you arrive.
- Carry ID. Keep a valid ID with you, particularly on cross-border routes to Cotonou, Lomé and Accra, which also need travel documents.
- Plan the last mile. Arrange a ride from the arrival terminal in advance, especially for evening arrivals.
