Best 5 Cars for Entebbe Airport Transfer Uganda
I guess we have wasted a bit of your time but we wanted to put things in perspective so you understand where we are coming from. But now lets get into the list of top car rental options for your Entebbe transportation.
1. Toyota Vitz.
The Vitz is a compact saloon car with a clean interior and smooth drive. The car has variations in engine sizes but all models have a very good fuel efficiency. With the Kampala Entebbe highway all paved, its low ground clearance should not be an issue for your transfer. For solo travelers or a couple arriving at Entebbe airport, this should be an affordable way to travel if you are just relocating to your hotel in Kampala. The major draw back for this car is its relatively small luggage space. If you have more than 2 bags, this might not be the car for you. The coast for the transfer ranges between $30 to $40.
2. Toyota Harrier
If you are looking for comfort and class, consider a Toyota harrier for your Entebbe transportation. The Harrier is famed for its neat interior with a matching corporate look. The car has a very smooth ride with great handling and some safety features to keep you safe. Wherever you are going in Uganda the Harrier will do the job if your destination is on a paved road. While there some 4WD models, most on the car rental fleets are 2WD. This means the car isn’t made for game drives and off-road driving. The luggage space is fairly big accommodating at least 4 bags. An airport transfer with a Toyota Harrier can cost around $80.
3. HiAce Drone
The Toyota Drone van is a tourist transportation van. Its customized to make tourist travels confirmable, convenient and safe. The 9 seater van features a very powerful engine that can make it to any road in Uganda from town runs to full off-road game drives. The car comes with large seats, spacious interior, phone charging ports among other amenities. The luggage carrying space is ample with a provision for an additional overhead luggage carrying. An Entebbe to Kampala transfer costs between $80 to $100. If you are going on Safari daily rental is normally $85 per day excluding fuel but inclusive of a driver guide.
4. Landcruiser v8
If you are arriving at Entebbe airport and going on Safari to remote National Game Parks, the Landcruiser v8 rental might be what you need. The game parks are very far from Kampala so you will often have long drives each day on often unpaved roads. The roads can be rough in dry seasons and very slippery when it rains. Renting a Landcruiser v8 means you have enough horsepower to handle whatever condition the roads might be in. With a 4700cc engine you wouldn’t need any more power on your safari. Renting a Landcruiser v8 starts at $90.
5. Coaster Bus.
When it comes for large groups the best option for your team is a coaster bus. This 28 seater bus is comfortable and has ample space for your luggage. Before you sit behind the steering wheel of this car the law requires 10yrs experience as a driver. You are not only renting a great car for your team but also a very experienced driver to take you safely. Renting a coaster normally costs about $150 per day.
