Top 4 ways to pay for a rental car in Uganda
Top 4 ways to pay for a rental car in Uganda If you are planning a safari to Uganda, it is always advisable to book a Rental Car. Some of the advantages of renting a Car include the freedom of movement as well as the fact that it is a safer way to explore this beautiful country. Without renting a car, you won’t be able to freely explore the stunning countryside sceneries, National Parks, seeing the Reserves, or experiencing the culinary scenes of the City.
However, one of the commonest issues with renting cars is having an understanding on the payment plans/processes. Our article will provide comprehensive information on the different ways to pay for a rental Car in Uganda, as well as providing all the required help before renting cars in this country.
Cash payment
Cash is the main mode of payment for rental cars in Uganda, and in most cases, customers/renters visit our offices in person. In most cases, it is done to avoid the high bank transfer charges. However, the cost incurred to take/transport the cash to our offices (vis-à-vis where you are driving from) also make it costly and inconveniencing, considering our offices are open between 8 am and 5 pm from Monday to Saturday yet you can make things easy by opting for other payment methods you are able to discover.
Mobile money payment
Another way to pay for a rental Car in Uganda is by mobile money. Using MTN Mobile Money and Airtel Money, our clients in Uganda and the neighbouring East African countries are able to effortlessly for their rental cars. This method is perfect for clients without Bank accounts and costs you will incur include sending and withdraw fees which depend on the amount being sent.
Online payment
Another top way to pay for a rental car in Uganda is by using our convenient online payment system with Pesapal and PayPal. For clients who are familiar with the digital or online money transfer systems will find this easier as it involves transferring money from your bank account to our account (Car Rental Company’s account) at the convenience of your office, home, or any other place that you are.
Direct money transfer
You can also use direct money transfer to pay for a rental Car in Uganda. This is interestingly one of the most reliable and trusted way to make payment for your rental car and simply involves sending money directly from your account to ours (or the Rental Car Company). Having confirmed the booking and invoice sent (with our bank account details-bank number and address), you can then go ahead to deposit the money. Usually, payment takes 2-3 days to reflect on our account and therefore it is always advisable to make payment several days before the travel date.
When to pay for your rental car in Uganda
By paying for the rental Car in advance, you are signalling to us (Rental Car Company) that you will show up for the Rental, hence the reason to go ahead to make a deposit. This can be 3-6 months before the date of using the Car to avoid last-minute disappointments. Another advantage of booking/paying early is that prices tend to be more competitive during this time, especially if you are traveling with a big group in the peak season (June to September and December to February).
