There seems to be very many car rental companies but only a few are legit and professional. To help you out, we have made a compilation of guidelines or Tips that can make you come close to getting the best car hire services in Uganda.

Safe Vehicles:

A safe vehicle is one that stipulates safety and road worthy. A car should be mechanically approved for road safety. The vehicle must be in very good physical and mechanical conditions. First of all inspect the car before traversing to your journey through checking for damages, dents, scratches and also find out if all the systems in the car are perfectly working and so are the lighting systems, transmission system and so should be the battery and the general engine.

A car in a good condition leads the traveler to his destination without any havoc of breakdown. A clean and steady car gives a traveler comfort on the journey.

Value For Money:

Is the car in question meant for a self drive safari worthy the money paid? This is an important aspect in car renting as the traveler has to make sure that the car hired to him/her fits the value of the money paid.

To ensure that you get a car fitting the money value stated, compare the rates from the different car hire companies, and the services offered on top of car rental. For instance, GPS, baby seat, music system pick up and drop off policy among other considerations.

Qualified Drivers:

Are you opting for a guided trip and still renting a car in Uganda to maintain your pace? Are you choosing car hire services and you are going to use chauffeur car rental services? Consider making sure that the driver is well trained and experienced, a guide driver that is insightful. If you can always ask for the name of the driver intended or recommended for you, make use of the Google search to find if any recommendations or more about the driver guide in question.

There is always information on the internet regarding particular individuals. This is done through checking his/her driving license and also checking the period of time he has driven the car by checking to the date of issue of the driving license. A well trained and experienced driver is more likely to lead a client safe on the road. He or she knows the style of driving on Ugandan roads and also knows all the easy routes leading to the client’s destination without any difficulties.

Reputable Company:

Very important as it sounds; “Reputable”. It is commendable for a traveler to hire a car from a company that has a good reputation in the travel world.

The reputation of the company can be found by looking at the testimonials of the people who have ever used the car hire services before and also reviews from famous travel sites like TripAdvisor and lonely planet.

Easy Booking System:

A great company to handle a self drive safari for its clients will always have options of booking and so are the payment options. Independent clients on self drive should look for car hire services that have very many options of booking the rental car that should be through email, telephone or physical booking that is by going to the reservation offices. With very many options of booking, the client has a choice of which booking method is more convenient to him/her.

Payment Options; A great car hire company would be one that has several payment options. It should have an option of online payment, wire transfers as well as cash. Any company that avoids online payments or wire transfers is likely not to be officially registered to offer the car hire services in the country.
