When it comes to traveling around Uganda, using private means of transport is the most convenient and reliable way to get to your destination(s) and it will make your trip smoother compared to opting for the cheaper yet unreliable public transportation. All you have to do is to choose a trusted car hire company that will offer a rental car that is well serviced and is in a perfect condition. And if you want to hire the car with a driver, they should be in position to offer an experienced professional driver for your trip. Whether it is a wildlife safari, business trip or just an airport transfer, you cannot go wrong with a rental car.

As you plan for your trip, note that prices of rental cars in Uganda change with different factors including season, time of booking and type of car among others. Therefore, if you are looking for cheap car rental services in Uganda, here are the tips that will guide you as you plan for your trip.

Book early
Once you have confirmed your travel, booking your rental car should be one of the next things to tick off your list. Early booking gives you a chance to choose a rental car that falls under your budget other than simply going with what is available when you book at last minute. It also gives you ample time to negotiate with the service provider for a good discount since you are booking ahead of time of travel. You can check with different car rental providers and compare their prices.

Request for a discount
If you are hiring a car on long term, please never hesitate to ask for a discount from the service provider. The long term basis is one of the things you have to take advantage of. Plus, it will help you to reduce on the expenditure towards the rental car for those many days of the road trip.

Book direct with the company
Instead of booking for a rental car through a third-party agent, simply go straight to the car hire company website and contact them. It is most likely that you will find the rates of their cars being lower than those of the third-party agents. This will save you from contributing to the agent’s commission.

Avoid renting at the airport
Rental car companies usually have different prices for the same kind of vehicles. As for the case of cars at the airport, their rates are often much higher than those of the off-airport rental companies because of the added taxes and fees. Booking a car with us can save you US$20 or more on one airport transfer.

Book the smallest car possible
If you plan on traveling on a tight budget, then you don’t have to hire a luxury car for your Uganda trip. Simply rent a car that can accommodate your travel mates and luggage but also consider your destination and activities on your itinerary. A safari van is one of the cheapest cars for group travel, a super custom for family trips and a Rav4 for couples and small families. If you are looking for a cheap rental car for town run, 2 wheel drive cars like the premio and drone are recommended for private and group travel respectively.
