Entebbe City- A Tranquil Gateway To Uganda
Entebbe, a charming peninsula town situated on the lush northern shores of Lake Victoria, serves as the serene entry point for most visitors arriving in Uganda. Historically the administrative capital during the British colonial era, the city today retains a relaxed, "summer-like" atmosphere that stands in pleasant contrast to the fast-paced energy of nearby Kampala. Entebbe is a haven for nature lovers, home to the sprawling Entebbe Botanical Gardens—where giant kingfishers and colobus monkeys roam—and the Uganda Wildlife Conservation Education Centre (UWEC), which provides a sanctuary for rescued indigenous wildlife. With its sandy beaches, world-class golf courses, and proximity to the Mabamba Swamp (a prime spot for sighting the prehistoric Shoebill stork), Entebbe offers a perfect blend of tropical beauty and quiet sophistication.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find out what travelers frequently ask about renting a car in Entebbe city
While your valid domestic driver’s license is often accepted if it is in English, it is highly recommended to have an International Driving Permit (IDP) alongside it. Ugandan traffic laws and rental policies generally require that the driver has held a valid license for at least two years. Having an IDP ensures a smoother process during police checks and simplifies the verification of your driving credentials.
Yes. Uganda Car Rental Deal offers convenient airport meet-and-greet services. A company representative will wait for you in the arrivals area with a sign, help with your luggage, and escort you to your vehicle located in the airport parking lot. This eliminates the need for expensive airport taxis and allows you to start your journey immediately upon landing.
The standard minimum age to rent a car for a self-drive in Entebbe is 23 years, though some specific vehicle categories may require the driver to be at least 25. There is also typically an upper age limit of around 70 to 75 years for self-drive. If you fall outside these age brackets, the best option is to hire a car with a professional driver.
Most rentals come with unlimited mileage, allowing you to drive anywhere within Uganda, from the city streets of Kampala to the remote tracks of Kidepo Valley. If you plan to cross into neighboring countries like Rwanda or Kenya, you must inform the us in advance. We will provide the necessary COMESA insurance and cross-border documentation (like the Authorization Letter and logbook copies) for a small additional fee.
Yes, reputable companies like ours provide vehicles with comprehensive insurance. This typically covers third-party liability, fire, and theft. However, it is important to note that insurance often does not cover damages caused by negligence (such as driving off-road where not permitted) or interior damage. Always review the "excess" policy to understand your maximum financial liability in case of an accident.
