Entebbe International Airport
Uganda's Premier Aviation Hub.

This modern facility features upgraded check-in counters, improved baggage handling systems, and five new aerobridges, ensuring a smooth and efficient transit for international visitors. Beyond its role as a transport hub, the airport is uniquely positioned just minutes away from some of Uganda’s most peaceful attractions, including the Entebbe Botanical Gardens and various lakeside resorts, offering a scenic and welcoming first impression of the country

Frequently Asked Questions
Find out some of the top asked questions when travelers want to rent a car at Entebbe International airport
Unlike major European or American airports with massive rental plazas, most local agencies in Uganda—including Uganda Car Rental Deal—operate a "Meet and Greet" service. A representative will meet you at the arrivals exit holding a placard with your name on it. From there, you will take a short 2-minute walk to the airport parking lot where the vehicle is stationed to perform the inspection and sign the paperwork.
Not necessarily, but it is highly recommended. If your domestic driver's license is in English and has a clear photo, most agencies and traffic police will accept it. However, if your license is in another language, an IDP is mandatory. Carrying both ensures you are fully compliant with Ugandan law and simplifies the process if you plan to cross borders into Rwanda or Kenya.
Most rentals at Entebbe Airport follow a "Same-to-Same" or "Quarter-to-Quarter" policy. Unlike the "Full-to-Full" standard in other countries, you will often receive the car with a quarter or half tank of fuel and are expected to return it with the same amount. Be sure to check the gauge and note it on your rental agreement before leaving the airport.
Yes, but you must book in advance. While the physical "walk-up" counters at the airport have limited hours, agencies like Uganda Car Rental Deal track your flight number and will have a staff member waiting for you regardless of your landing time (even at 3:00 AM). Note that some companies may recommend a driver-guide for late-night arrivals, as driving on poorly lit roads in a new country can be challenging after a long flight.
To receive your car at the airport, you must present:
Your original valid passport (and a copy).
A valid driver's license (held for at least 2 years).
The printed or digital booking confirmation.
Payment/Security Deposit: While some agencies accept credit cards, many local operators prefer cash (USD or UGX) or mobile money for the balance and security deposit.
