GIGM Brings hireX, PASS To Abuja On November 4

Premium vehicle hire and all-in-one travel booking are coming to Nigeria’s capital GIG Mobility (GIGM) has announced plans to launch hireX, a premium vehicle hire and charter marketplace, and PASS by GIGM, an integrated travel and tours platform, in Abuja on Tuesday, November 4, 2026.

GIGM is West Africa’s largest intercity road transport company, operating over 40 terminals across Nigeria and Ghana.

Through intercity bus travel, the hireX vehicle hire marketplace and the PASS travel and tour platform, GIGM uses technology to make travel safer, simpler and more connected for millions of Guests each year.

The company explained that hireX by GIGM will offer chauffeur-driven vehicles by the hour or by the day, with upfront pricing and professionally vetted drivers, for executive movement, airport transfers, interstate trips, group travel and event transport.

Unveiling the plans on Sunday in the nation’s capital, Dr. Enahoro Okhae, Chief Executive Officer of GIG Mobility, noted that the organisation’s Abuja fleet will combine GIGM-owned vehicles with cars from verified partner operators.

According to him, PASS by GIGM will bring intercity bus tickets, flights, hotels, airport pickups and curated local and international tours into one app, so a whole trip can be planned in one place instead of across five different vendors.

Explaining the choice of Abuja for the new innovation Dr. Okhae, said: “Abuja runs on schedules: meetings, ministries, embassies, flights. The people who keep this city moving deserve transport that keeps up with them.

“For nearly three decades, Nigerians have trusted GIGM with their intercity journeys. On November 4, we bring that same trust to every part of the trip in the capital.”

Also providing further insights into the event, Jude Odum, Chief Operating Officer of GIG Mobility, said: “We’re already working with organisations in Abuja ahead of launch. Corporates, embassies and NGOs that want one partner for executive transport, staff movement and travel management should talk to us now. Early partners will help shape how we serve the city.”

“From November 4, Guests can book hireX at hirex.gigmobility.co / GIGM app and PASS on the GIGM app and at www.gigm.com, he added.
