    Self Drive Car Rental in East Africa with 4×4 Self Drive Uganda

    Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania and Rwanda have numerous stunning drives that wind from Savannah National parks and reserves to search for wild game including the Big five, the great wildebeest migration; to the thick forest for an exclusive gorilla and chimpanzee trekking and tracking as well as habituation; to the heights of the great escarpment of Mount Rwenzori, Mount Kenya and Kilimanjaro.

    With the freedom to road trip at your own pace, exploring the country by a 4×4 Self Drive Uganda Car Rental is ideally the best way to self-drive. And with budget daily rates from 4×4 Self-drive Uganda, Self Drive Car Rental is the most economical way to drive around Uganda, Kenya Tanzania, and Rwanda, especially for long-term car rentals, one-way car rental and rooftop tents with friends and Family.

    If the idea of talking border crossing logistics makes you want to hit your head against the wall, Self Drive Uganda is here with you. If you plan on renting a self-drive rental car in Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania and Rwanda with 4×4 Self Drive Uganda for either long-term car rental, car rental with rooftop tents, or land cruiser with camping equipment rental, car rental with a driver, or self-drive hire, these are things you should consider first on your road trip.

    1. UNLIMITED MILEAGE

    4×4 Self Drive Uganda offers unlimited mileage to all self-drive clients daily basis with no excess charge for each extra kilometer driven. Our car rental quote offered to any self-drive car rental or hire client is enough to take you to great lengths and breadth of any East African country

    1. TYRE AND COMPREHENSIVE INSURANCE

    For all road trips offered, 4×4 Self Drive Uganda offers 24/7 roadside assistance in case of car breakdown as well as tyre replacement. Every vehicle comes in handy with an extra tyre to avoid shortcoming delays in your self-drive road trip.

    Needless to say, 4×4 self-drive Uganda offers comprehensive insurance which protects the 4×4 rental car from fires, theft and accidents.

    Cracked windshields from ruggy stones on rural roads are another annoyance which happens a lot on East East African roads.

    1. ONE-WAY CAR RENTAL

    4×4 Self Drive Uganda One-way car rental deal helps you to save more time and money on your self-drive car rental in Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya and Tanzania, as it allows you to pick up your self-drive car hire from one location and drop it off at separate locations at an extra fee.

    However, as 4×4 Self Drive, Uganda has some very budget-friendly low-cost self-drive car rental deals, once you factor in fuel, food, accommodation and the extra mileage, it is sometimes more economical to just drive the one way and fly back rather than doing a loop – unless, of course, that was part of your planned route.

    1. BORDER CROSSING WITH A SELF-DRIVE CAR RENTAL VEHICLE IN KENYA/UGANDA/TANZANIA/RWANDA

    4×4 Self Drive Uganda offers to cross the border, options across Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, and Rwanda which requires a mandatory extension of the insurance (COMESA card). The COMESA Card prices vary depending on the number of days and countries you will be crossing. 4×4 Self Drive Uganda prepares all the necessary paperwork for the car to cross all East African borders depending on your self-drive road trip schedule.

    It is possible to combine all East African countries of Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda in one Self Drive car rental road trip by extension of the COMESA Insurance cover. This extension can only be done by purchasing a monthly COMESA card. 4×4 Self Drive Uganda arrange all the cross-border paperwork. Besides COMESA Insurance, there is also an additional cost of $40, a border crossing fee which clients must pay themselves, in cash, at the border.

    Occasionally, we allow border crossing from Uganda to Kenya to Tanzania and Rwanda, because we have local offices in all these countries with related companies of Self drive Kenya, Self Drive Tanzania, and  Self Drive Rwanda, so providing adequate road assistance in case something happens is easier.

    In short, if you plan to take a rental car to a neighboring country, read the terms and conditions thoroughly.

    1. CAR SAFETY

    Setting off on a road trip with a 4×4 Self Drive Car Rental becomes an immediate home.

    The safety situation in East Africa means it is often unwise to leave anything, especially valuables, visible in the car. We would advise renting a self-drive rental car with enough luggage space with all the equipment & rooftop tent rental where you can’t see into the boot so that you can leave your bags hidden there during the day if need be. Also, try to park your car in a secure facility or under the watch of a parking attendant whenever possible.

    Travelling in Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania & Rwanda by car is the best way to see the country and by considering these five things you should have nothing short of an awesome time with 4×4 Self Drive Uganda services.
