Fixed-price sedans cut the guesswork outside LFW’s T1 exit.
Private Transfer Sedan rides run on pre-booking only, with a fixed fare agreed online before you land at Lomé–Tokoin International Airport’s single terminal T1. You meet your driver in the arrivals hall just past customs, usually within 5–10 minutes of exiting baggage claim, instead of haggling at the curb. This suits late-night arrivals on flights like AF 798 from Paris or ET 908 from Addis, when taxi lines can be thin and prices harder to pin down.
Cars are standard 4-door sedans, usually fitting 3 passengers plus 2–3 checked-size bags in the trunk, so a family of three or a pair of colleagues with roll-aboards works fine. Providers typically quote in euros, US dollars, or CFA francs, so you know the rate before stepping out of T1’s sliding doors. For hotel runs along the beachfront strip toward the Hôtel 2 Février or the Radisson Blu, the drive runs about 10–20 minutes depending on traffic.
Most operators track your flight number, so they adjust pickup if ET 811 or other regional flights arrive an hour late. Many include up to 60 minutes of free waiting time after the scheduled landing, then charge extra per 15-minute block, which is spelled out in the confirmation email. You show a printed voucher or phone screen, match the driver’s name and plate number, and walk straight to the car in the short-stay car park opposite T1.
Pricing is usually per vehicle, not per person, so one sedan booked in advance often beats paying three separate seats on a shared shuttle service into Lomé city. Most providers quote a single airport–city rate that covers both directions, for example one flat price for T1 to a hotel near Boulevard du Mono and the same in reverse. For trips further out, like to Kpalimé or Aného, sedans can be priced by distance or an agreed lump sum.
Practical tip: when you book, send your exact flight number for LFW and a working WhatsApp contact, then screenshot the driver’s name, pickup point inside T1 arrivals, and car plate so you can find them quickly in the small but busy meet-and-greet area.
