Our fleet
When hiring a car in Uganda with Roadtrip Uganda you have three options to fit your budget and travelling style: Comfort - the Toyota Hilux, Classic – the Land Cruiser, and Budget – the Toyota RAV4. The Land Cruiser and RAV4 are reliable 4x4 vehicles widely used in Uganda and perfect for self-drive tours. The Toyota Hilux is the newer and most comfortable option, and more likely to meet expectations for roadtrippers with safari experience in southern Africa.
We own all our rental cars in Uganda and we never subcontract from third parties. Each car is serviced at our workshop after every trip and we have a close network of upcountry workshops for minor onsite repairs. In case you have a breakdown, rest assured that we offer 24/7 roadside assistance and always have a replacement vehicle ready. Our customer service is unparalleled!

Car rental add ons: camping gear and driver-guides
Rent a car with camping gear
Uganda is a great country for camping. There are many campsites in and around its national parks, ranging from basic public campsites to five-star luxury camping with all the amenities you could wish for.
Our Toyota Hilux and Landcruiser can both be equipped with a rooftop tent, or you can hire a dome tent which is also possible with a RAV4. Both options come with a full set of quality camping gear, including a mattress, sleeping bag, headlights, cooking equipment, table and chairs. The extra storage space in the Hilux makes it the perfect car for camping in the bush!

Rent a car with driver
All of our drivers are skilled, flexible, experienced, helpful and most of all pleasant company. The cost of hiring a driver is €35/ day – this also covers his meals and accommodation. The driver will always sort these out himself. Most lodges have a drivers’ section and provide accommodation and meals for free. When you travel into a national park with a driver, you will also have to pay their entrance fee of €2 - €5 / day, depending on the park.
The driver is responsible for the wellbeing of the car, and the security bond will no longer apply.
