Lowest price found for 4x4 rental in Uganda, therefore not the newest materials but everything works fine. Very friendly and helpful people

  Very Good - We drove a 4WD Toyota Bus which was very relaiable and comfortable. The Service bringing räto the Hotel was very good.

  All you need to know: how to get in touch, driver’s license, payment, Uganda’s roads and orientation

Found the 4x4carhirekampala website - their pricings for both self-drive... read more and with a driver combined with reliability and a super good SUV are the clearest selling point, as the car offers and pickups (e.g., from the airport) from all hotels I was in touch with were simply a rip off. Contact to 4x4 Car Hire Kampala was easily made through WhatsApp through their website with super nice and quick responses. Everything worked as planned, super punctual and reliable people.

Discovering Uganda by car with my driver Alan was one of the best trips I ever made. From time to time, I switched with Alan and drove on my own as well (long distances, especially from Kampala to Bwindi National Park for the Gorilla hike). Most roads are well made, speed limit between 60-90 km/h, off-road and mountains are an adventure. Important for foreigners: you need the International Driver’s License, that’s it, no additional local permit/ paper needed.

Regarding the payment: Cash is appreciated which means you either bring the amount with you or you cash it once you are in Uganda (safer option). I would recommend using ATMs connected to a bigger bank, e.g., the Victoria Mall in Entebbe, and speak to the bank staff in advance (in case there would be an issue with the card, they could help then), depending on the ATM, 2Million – 3Million Schilling can be cashed in one go. Would also recommend having at least 2 different credit cards with you.

To summarize, get a map and a good book, download google maps offline maps in addition, buy a local sim card with data and minutes to call and explore this beautiful country by car with 4x4 Car Hire Kampala.

Ask for Alan as a driver, if you are lucky, he also joins you for hikes

Highly recommended!
Thanks for everything,
Ben.
