Reliable service & vehicle. Titus was very communicative and responsive during the booking and build up to the hire period. We had initially booked a specific vehicle but on arrival asked if it was possible to swap for a smaller alternative. Titus was very accommodating and facilitated the swap that day, straight away. The vehicle was reliable, and while not the latest model, seemed to be well maintained and served us well for our time in uganda. We covered some distance, driving from entebbe out to Nakaseke, then on to Kabale, and the vehicle had no issues at all. We were very satisfied with the vehicle and the service we received, especially the airport collection and drop-off, the great communication, and flexibility.

Your Drive Uganda- Driver Experience I booked a car with driver for 3 Days. After arrival , diver Charles was already waiting for me in the arrival hall. Immediately he brought me to a mall to change money, sim card and some supply . While we were waiting for the sim card, i tried to pay for the trip with my credit card. For some reason the online payment option was not working and i was struggeling to get the cash together. Despite the confirmation for the credit card payment, it didnt work. Clearly misleading...... After sorting things out and getting petrol for the car, we proceeded towards Murchison Falls National Park. Also i have asked Charles to stop on some places where we can find poor families and drop off some gifts such as sweets, stationary and money. The next day we went for an early game drive and in the afternoon to a nile cruise. Charles showed a great knowledge of the wildlife and area. We saw many animales in a short time, he was very keen to show me as much as possible. The next day we headed back to Ebtebbe, stopping at the Rhino sanctuary and a few place again to drop of some gifts for the kids. Overall i had a great experience with Charles, he is a pleasant knowledgeable young man. I highly recommend him as driver and wish him good luck.

A trip to remember. This company helped me plan my self-drive in Uganda safari so well at very affordable rates. They helped me and my husband book permits to go see gorillas at no cost. About the car; we hired a 4x4 Land Cruiser Prado and we never had any issues or challenges with this car throughout our 21 days trip. If you plan to travel through Uganda, I will recommend using them.

Fair Price!! Great Service!! Great People I rented a 4x4 Land cruiser TX for 14 days and went to Western Uganda for a wildlife safari in the National Parks. We really had a great time navigating through the rough terrains with the help of the Land cruiser TX. It is a very strong vehicle that can manage to win all the challenging road conditions. Titus helped us book our Gorilla trekking permits at no cost and this was very kind of him. During the trip, we had a simple breakdown but Titus quickly arranged a mechanic and the problem was solved with in one hour. I recommend Your Drive Uganda for your next trip in Uganda. They are very professional.

Their cars are reliable. The experience i had dealing with Your Drive Uganda was fantastic. My wife and I have travelled much around East Africa with rented cars from various companies but the experience we had with Your Drive was unique. The Landcruiser Tx Mr. Titus gave us was amazing with swift transmission and no mechanical issues. it moved well through the park( queen Elizabeth national park), honestly the car was great. Surprisingly their rates are fair! Ya'll should make Your Drive Uganda your car rental plug through East Africa. Their services are amazing!

Bad quality car and gear. Titus is a very rude guy! This was by far the worst rental experience in my life. Broken cars, insufficient gear, gear which was provided was dirty. Titus was extremely rude. They are rude and disrespectful against women, to customers and to other lovely mechanics in uganda who all tried to help us with our problems. When Titus finally replaced our constant broken car, i told him that our car had 3/4 of a tank left, when Pius arrived with the new car he had totally emptied the tank so we had to drive 60 Km's without any gasoline, hoping we would make it to the next station. Please pay a little bit more and go with a decent company and enjoy every minute in this lovely country!

Rude, unhelpful company with unreliable car I rented a Toyota Landcruise Prado car from YourDrive in September '23 for 1 month. To put it briefly, I have never been so dissatisfied with a rental company before. After half a year of traveling in (other) rental cars, it is indescribable how poor and rude this rental company is. - Firstly, the rooftop tent was completely moldy (see photos), not waterproof, and the necessary poles to keep the tent rainproof were not provided. The sleeping bags were full of stains and dirty. No pillows, bed linens, or blankets were provided. The cooler box was extremely dirty as well. - Additionally, the car was delivered with a gasoline leak, resulting in excessive gasoline consumption during the first week. Each time, Titus sent me to the mechanic, but without any results. - Eventually, Titus himself suggested replacing the car. Later, it turned out he wanted us to bear all the costs of this replacement. Despite several comments about the tent, we did not receive a new one with this replacement either. - Titus himself is extremely rude and unhelpful. He hangs up the phone in the middle of conversations, always gets angry, argues with mechanics who had to fix our car, and accuses us of lying about the waterproofness of the tent. - Moreover, Titus still owed us some money for mechanic costs. After a lot of pushing, we only got back a small amount of the money, with the argument that he had no money. This amount doesn't even cover all our expenses for leaked gasoline, accommodation costs when we couldn't sleep in the tent due to rain, and all the time we spent visiting garages and calling Titus. In short: I have traveled a lot in my life and have never been so dissatisfied with a rental company like this one. Titus will probably respond to this review claiming that none of it is true; therefore, we have also attached a few photos as evidence. Don't go here!
