At Fern Rentals, we make budget car hire simple and honest. You get a clean, reliable car at a fair price with zero drama. We help you move across Uganda without stress, extra fees, or guesswork.
You choose what fits your pocket and plan. We stock compact sedans for city errands, saloons for business trips, 4×4 SUVs for rough roads, and vans for families or small groups. Every unit has working air conditioning, seat belts for all seats, and space for luggage.
We cover Entebbe, Kampala, Jinja, Mbarara, Gulu, Fort Portal, Mbale, Hoima, and more. We meet you at the airport, your home, or your office. You can drive yourself or add a friendly driver. Tell us your dates and route, we prepare the right car sawa sawa.
Transport costs can eat your trip money. Taxis add up fast, and public transport can waste time. Budget car hire gives you control, comfort, and clear costs. You move on your schedule, keep bags safe, and stop where you like.
Buying a car for a short season does not make sense. Servicing, tyres, and insurance cost money every month. With Fern Rentals, you pay only for the days you use the car. We handle maintenance, paperwork, and support while you focus on your plans.

We build packages around what you actually need, not what looks fancy. Daily, weekly, and monthly rates reduce unit cost as you stay longer. You see the full amount before pickup, and you avoid last-minute surprises that spoil your budget.
City runs fit compact sedans that sip fuel and park easily. Weekend trips to Jinja or Fort Portal fit saloons or small SUVs. Rains in western Uganda may need a 4×4. We guide you to the cheapest safe option for your route and season.
Kampala traffic and new towns can drain energy. Add a driver who knows back routes, safe fuel stops, and fair parking fees. You relax, handle calls, and arrive calm. When you reach your stop, the driver helps with bags and receipts.
If you prefer independence, take a self-drive unit with our hotline support. We give you GPS pins for fuel stops, simple tyre change tips, and WhatsApp contacts. If a warning light appears, we advise and act fast. You never feel stuck on the road.
We deliver cars across Uganda and collect in another town if your trip ends there. Airport arrivals are easy, we track your flight and wait with a name sign. If immigration delays you, we hold the car within a fair grace period.
Your quote lists rental days, mileage band, deposit, and extras you selected. Extra hours, extra mileage, or add-ons follow a simple rate card. We confirm any change before charging. Your pocket and your planner stay in control, mpola mpola.
Ask for child seats, a cooler box, a phone mount, or a USB inverter. We stock reflective triangles, a first aid kit, and a spare tyre kit in every car. Small items make a long drive easier and safer for your crew.
We service cars on schedule and inspect before handover. Tyres, fluids, and lights get checked daily by our team. If a unit needs attention mid-trip, we send a technician or a swap car. Your plans do not collapse because of a small fault.
Which budget cars do you offer, and how do I choose the best one?
We offer compact sedans like Toyota Vitz or Passo for light city runs, saloons like Toyota Premio or Corolla for mixed use, small SUVs like RAV4 for weekend trips, and vans for families. Choice depends on passengers, luggage, roads, and season. Share your route, we recommend the cheapest safe option.
Fuel economy matters when money is tight. A compact handles Kampala errands with ease and uses less fuel. If you plan Entebbe to Jinja with luggage, a saloon balances comfort and cost. For rainy months or village access roads, a small 4×4 prevents delays and towing costs.
Do you offer driver-inclusive budget options, or is it only self-drive?
We offer both. Many clients choose driver-inclusive for stress-free movement and better timekeeping. Drivers know traffic patterns, safe stops, and shortcuts that save time. They also help with luggage, tolls, and parking. Your day stays smooth even when rain or roadworks appear.
Self-drive fits guests who know local roads or prefer privacy. We brief you on rules, speed limits, and common police checks. We share safe fuel stations and cash needs outside the city. If you hit a rough patch, a human answer your call and helps.
What is included in the price, and are there hidden charges?
Your base price includes the car, standard mileage band, comprehensive insurance, and roadside support. Airport parking within the grace period is covered for pickups. We list optional items like child seats, extra mileage, one-way returns, or a cooler so you choose only what you need.
We keep money talk short and clear. If you add a service mid-trip, we confirm the fee before proceeding. No surprise extras appear at return. Your receipt matches the quote plus any approved changes you requested during the hire.
How does the deposit work, and which payment methods do you accept?
A refundable deposit protects against damage, lost tools, and major traffic fines. The amount depends on vehicle class and duration. We return the deposit after inspection on handover. If something needs repair, we show proof and agree the next step openly.
We accept mobile money, Visa or Mastercard, bank transfer, and cash. Companies can pay by LPO with approved terms. We share a proper receipt for your records. Your finance team gets what they need without chasing papers.
What mileage limits apply, and how do fuel plans work?
We set a fair monthly or daily mileage band based on your plan. Light city use sits lower, up-country loops sit higher. If you need more, we upgrade the band or add a second car to keep costs sensible. You avoid penalties and keep vehicles healthy.
Fuel works two ways. Full-to-full suits careful planners who return at the same level. Prepaid fuel suits guests who want to start driving immediately. Choose what fits your style. We record levels at handover to keep things honest.
What insurance is included, and what is my responsibility in case of an incident?
Comprehensive insurance and third-party cover come standard. If an incident occurs, secure the scene, call our hotline, and obtain a police reference where needed. We guide you through steps calmly and arrange recovery or a swap so your trip continues.
A modest excess may apply depending on the case. We explain this before you book. We prefer prevention. Drive within limits, avoid night speeding, and park in safe places. These habits protect you and your deposit.
Can you deliver to Entebbe Airport, and do you cover up-country towns?
Yes, to both. We meet you at Entebbe with a name sign and track your flight for timing. We also deliver to hotels and homes in Kampala and nearby towns. Up-country, we serve Jinja, Mbarara, Fort Portal, Gulu, Mbale, Hoima, Kasese, Arua, and more.
For one-way hires, we collect the car in your final town. This saves you a backtrack day. We agree the return point and time, then share a driver contact. You finish your trip without a rushed dash to the city.
Can I cross into Kenya, Rwanda, or Tanzania with a budget rental?
Yes, with prior arrangement. Cross-border travel needs a letter of authority and a COMESA Yellow Card. We prepare documents and brief you on border hours, tolls, and fuel stops. You move smoothly and avoid avoidable delays at immigration and customs.
Cross-border work adds distance and different road rules. We recommend a well-serviced saloon or small SUV for comfort and safety. Share your plan early so we stage documents and confirm insurance limits for your exact route.
What happens if the car breaks down or I get a flat tyre?
We maintain cars to reduce such cases, but the road is the road. If a fault appears, call us. We guide you through a safe stop, then send a mechanic or a replacement unit based on location. We also liaise with hotel or ranger posts when needed.
For flats, our briefing covers safe jacking points and wheel changes. If you prefer not to change the tyre, we send help. Keep reflective triangles out and lights on while waiting. We aim to recover your time and keep the day moving.
How do I choose the cheapest safe option for my trip?
Start with group size, luggage, and roads. City and highway trips work with a compact or saloon. Add a small SUV when rains are heavy or when village roads are part of the plan. We check your route and suggest the lowest-cost safe choice.
Consider fuel economy and distance. A compact saves money in traffic and short hops. A saloon balances comfort and cost for Jinja or Mbarara. A small 4×4 prevents expensive tow bills when the road turns muddy. Tell us your plan, we guide you fairly.
Fern Rentals gives you affordable, clean, and reliable cars across Uganda with support that answers fast. You choose self-drive or a driver, set your dates and mileage, and pay a fair price with no tricks. We deliver where you are, keep you safe on the road, and collect when your trip ends.
