The car hire company should have a good reputation. Look at the customer reviews that are posted about the company, are they good or not? If a company has good customer services and it has all the credentials and capacity to render to you great services for your long distance travel, why not take a chance with it
Never hire a car rental in Uganda, that is not reliable and flexible in such a way it has strict time of working. Traveling services must be available at all times since the tourists are not time bound especially when touring around a foreign destination. Rental services with strict working programs will inconvenience your plans if you are to engage in them out of their working hours.
Do not use any third party to book your car hire services, please do it by yourself. Make contact directly to the car hire company via email, booking portal or visit the company’s offices to make your reservation. You are more likely to build a good rapport with car hire agency. You may end up getting a discount on the car hire services. For the case of middle men, you maybe duped and end up taking losing your funds or they tend to charge you highly for the car hire services.
When hiring a car from the agency always ask about the payment plan that is; is it on a daily basis or hourly, is it limited mileage driving or unlimited. For the case of long distance, you have to hire a car with per day payment plan and should be unlimited mileage driving since you are going to need to use the car for long hours and for long distance driving.
You should hire car that has comprehensive insurance and road assistance. The insurance should be covering all the damages that might happen to the car. It must cover accidents, theft, third party damage. In addition, in case of a breakdown, there should be an immediate response to the problem of either bring you a new car or repairing the car in the earliest time possible.
You should also take your time and look at various companies that offer particular car hire services. Browsing through a wide range of companies for car hire services puts you in position to get the best services. Take your time, do not choose the first company you come across on the web. look at the other companies’ offers, make a comparison and then choose the ones with the best services at competitive prices.
