Top 5 Factors That Determine Price Of Rental Car In Uganda

Uganda is not only a popular safari destination but also one of the best business hubs in Africa frequented by all types of travelers and businessmen. As such, these travelers need the best private means possible to get around Uganda safely and comfortably and that’s where Uganda car rental companies come in.
Whether you are planning a safari holiday, business or leisure road trip, you won’t fail to get a rental car that suits your preferences and budget. There are plenty of vehicles available including 4×4 cars, SUVs, sedans, minivans, buses and luxury cars all at varying prices and the best way to determine the price of your chosen rental car is by examining these 5 factors that influence the price.

1- Rental car age– The year make of a car is one of the top factors that can either increase or reduce the price of a rental car in Uganda. A car made between 1999 and 2007 is cheaper than those of 2010 and above. The majority of car rental companies still offer old models but well serviced and always ready to hit the open road.

2- Rental car type– There are a variety of car types in Uganda as earlier mentioned and each type or category is priced differently with 4×4 cars and luxury cars more expensive than SUVs and sedans while minivans and buses are more expensive to rent than all the other four types. So choosing the right rental car can also determine how much you will need to pay for a rental.

3- Rental duration– Another factor that affects the price of a rental car in Uganda is the number of days you will be renting the car. The higher the number of days, the lower the price and vice versa and that’s why long-term car rental clients always get huge discounts as compared to clients who want the car for less than a week.

4- Rental option– Choosing between self drive and traveling with a driver also has a huge impact on your final rental price. When you decide to rent a car and driver in Uganda over self drive trip, be prepared to mke payments for the car and driver expenses which include accommodation and meals. That’s one of the major reasons why most travelers prefer to drive themselves over hiring a driver.

5- Season– The peak season always has a lot of demand for rental cars as compared to the low season rainy months hence booking the car during the high season implicates a higher rental price. The peak travel months in Uganda include June to September and December to February and though they are the best times to visit, they are the most expensive ones as well.
