Hiring A Car In Kampala

There are several car rental companies in Kampala to choose from for your self-drive car hire in Kampala. There are a number of things to consider before choosing a car rental company in Kampala. These include; the car hire rates, insurance policy, pick up and drop off policy among several other items.

Car Hire Rates

Kampala car rental rates vary according to the type of car you consider to hire and the model of the car. There are mainly four cars popular for safari car rentals in Uganda. Rav4, Land Cruiser Prado, Land cruiser GX/VX, and Land Cruiser V8

The rates range between US$35 and US$150 per day. Whether you are considering a car with ground camping gear or a rooftop tent camping, your budget will fall within the above quote. But one important issue to consider when hiring a car in regard to rates; you should never go for a car that has a very low price. It is always recommended that you go for one with the average price.

Cheap things tend to be expensive in the long wrong. You should never be driven by the cheap rates; ask yourself whether the person offering you this cheap rate has the capacity to rescue you in case of any breakdown or major mechanical issue. The reason why the car rental rates might relatively be high; it is because of the mechanical and technical aspect which will either make or ruin your trip.

Insurance Policy

The insurance policy is a very important aspect of Uganda’s car rentals. Most of the complaints regarding car rental in Uganda are likely to have risen from unclear insurance policies. When looking into the insurance policy; the excess rates should be clear as well as the negotiate cover in case of damages not covered by insurance.

Pick Up And Drop Off Policy

Before you hire a car in Kampala for self-drive; inquire about their pick up and drop off policy. Some companies offer free pick up and drop off within Kampala and Entebbe while others will charge you an extra fee for pick up and drop off. It is not common to pick up the car at the company offices since most of the companies offer free pick up and drop off.

It is important to stick to the agreed drop off point to avoid charges that might arise when you drop off in another location other than that which was agreed upon.

Fuel Policy

Just like the pick-up and drop-off policy; the fuel policy tends to differ from one company to another. Some companies might offer you a full fuel tank requiring that upon drop off, the car must have a full tank. Others might offer you a quarter tank also require you to return the car with a quarter tank while others might offer you the car with an empty tank hoping that you return the car with an empty tank too.

Before you confirm your reservation; it is important to you all these terms and conditions clearly stipulated. Failure to do so might land you into trouble at the end of your car rental in Kampala.
