Search online or visit a car rental office
This is the first step to finding a rental car in Uganda.

Also check if they have any special discounts, compare the different rental car companies and select which to contact.
If the service provider’s office is in close proximity, you consider visiting their office for a deeper engagement with them.

Inquire about your car of interest
Some travelers already know the type of cars they want before they contact service providers, depending on the purpose of their trip. However, others are not sure of the suitable cars for their trips. All in all, your service provider is an expert and they will give the best advice to ensure that you get the most during your trip. Whether you have already come up with your choice of car or need a suggestion from the experts, simply contact them and get the rental car details. They will include the type of car, price for hiring, fuel the car uses, carrying capacity and availability.

Request for quotation
Now that you have confirmed the type of car you want to hire, go on and request for a quotation. It should indicate all the inclusions and would be better to show exclusions. We offer a quotation that covers unlimited mileage, comprehensive insurance, and local government taxes.

Haggle for the best price
Just like with many other businesses, you can bargain for discounts when hiring a car in Uganda. Travelers planning to stay with the car for many days get even higher discounts. If you have been given a discount, the service provider will communicate the different options for payment so you can select the most suitable for you. Most of them use Pesa Pal and a bank account. You will get an invoice that includes price and the bank account. If you are not ready to make a full payment, agree on the percentage of money to deposit.

Make a Deposit
Different Uganda car rental companies may have varying percentages for depositing to book your car. It ranges from 30% to 50% or even more depending on the policy of the company. You can pay the balance towards the start of your trip or upon arrival when picking the car.

Confirm booking
After receiving the deposit, the company will issue a soft copy of the stamped and signed receipt and send it to you indicating what you have paid for. With this, you are sure that your rental car has been reserved.

Pick up your rental car
As you draw close to your travel dates, communicate to your service provider once again especially if has been a while since you booked. Be sure to have packed all the documents required before picking the car. Carry your national ID or passport photo plus your receipt when going to pick the car.
