Travel is now an inevitable part of life and car rental has made it easy and more convenient. If you do not have a car or perhaps are planning to travel out of your country, whether it is a business trip, safari or to visit family and friends, it is a wise idea to consider hiring a car. However much car rental has become popular over the years, it has both pros and cons.
At Supreme Car Rental Uganda, we decided to explain these two areas to help you easily weigh and make quick decision when planning for travel.

Pros of car rental

Variety of cars to choose from
Depending on your destination and travel needs you can always choose the most suitable car every time you are traveling. Car rental companies offer a variety of car brands and sizes. You have a variety to select from considering the purpose of the trip. 

Roadside assistance 
When you hire a car with a driver, you shift all liability to the car rental company. In case of any unexpected circumstances like a car breakdown, your driver is fully in charge of coordinating with their responsible personnel of the company to fix everything so you can proceed with your journey. 

Time-saving 
Public transport in Uganda is not reliable regarding time management. If you want a smooth and remarkable experience that will not be broken by poor timekeeping, then hire a car and do all your activities as scheduled.

 
Comfort and freedom 
Often, rental cars are in better shape than public vehicles. They are more spacious with most features functioning well. With a rental car, you also have the freedom to make stopovers at places of interest and adjust your travel plans whenever you wish concerning activities.

Convenience 
Choosing to hire a car makes it easy to transfer from one location to another. If you are an international traveler, it is even better to hire a car with a driver or deal with a car rental company that provides GPS to help you easily find your way to a new place. 

Cons of car rental 

Although the cons of car rental are less noticeable than the pros, it is important to take them into account to avoid surprises. A few of the cons of hiring a car include; 

Penalties 
There are some situations that may attract fines in car rental services. For example, returning the car beyond the time agreed upon or in a condition unlike the expected. Therefore, you must stay in alignment with the rules. 

Strict terms and conditions 
Car rental clients must spare enough time to read through the agreement before signing it lest they agree to unfriendly conditions that some companies draw. However much these terms help clients to carefully handle the rental cars, it may turn into payment of huge amounts of money if they are misunderstood and disobeyed. 

Limited areas of coverage 
When renting a car, you will specify your destination to the service provider. With that, you are not expected to go elsewhere except to the specified destinations. Today, car rental companies have adopted the system of car tracking to stay updated on your movement. With your own car, you have the freedom to drive anywhere. 

The cons of car rental can be managed if you are aware of them.
