Reliable, great communication, & free airport pick up/drop off. Superb service from 4x4 Uganda
Paul was very to contact by email and arranged pickup & drop off at Entebbe airport for no extra. The 8 seat Toyota 4WD van was reliable and comfortable. A+ service at a very reasonable price.

Excellent, polite, helpful and efficient experience
We hired a Toyota Land Cruiser for 8 days for a safari in QENP and a small Toyota car from a further week in Kampala. The company was extremely helpful going out of their way to deliver and collect both vehicles from our hotel. Both vehicles were excellent and were reasonably priced. I met 3 members of staff at different points during our rental period and they were all extremely helpful and punctual. I have no reservations recommending this company.

Excellent in every way
We rented an extended Toyota Land Cruiser, with pop-top & seven seats for a week. The company was prompt in all communications, easy to work with, and the vehicle was exactly as described. While it had some miles on it, it worked perfectly and had no mechanical issues. They even provided maps and a Garmin GPS. This is a "real" safari truck - the same as many of the guided safaris use and that you can pay upwards of $400 a day from some operators. Driving in Uganda is not as scary as many say. Drive with purpose, without crazy maneuvers, and give way without giving too much way, and you will be just fine! Very much recommend this company, as they deliver what they promise.

Great experience from start to finish
My girlfriend and I rented a Toyota Prado with 4x4 Uganda for 12 days to drive to Lake Mburo, QENP, Kibale and Murchison Falls. We had a great time and Paul was extremely helpful in the planning of the itinerary. When we needed the side mirror fixed he was quick to suggest a garage close by and handled payment directly with the garage. The camping equipment was exactly what we needed. I can wholeheartedly recommend 4x4 Uganda.

Great experience and great adventure!
I connected with Paul over the internet after emailing a couple different rental companies and I got a good feel for Paul. He always responded back thoughtfully and within a reasonable time - having never been to this part of Africa it was a bit of a difficult thing to feel out - but a gut feel was all I really had to go on. We agreed on a Land Cruiser Prado and he also arranged our Gorilla Permits free of charge (we had to pay the permit fee, but he got them for us at no additional charge).
Paul met us at the airport and gave us a quick run through of the car and some important bits and pieces about driving on the roads in Africa. My fiancee and I proceeded to drive the car just over 1500km in 10 days including spending time in the Masai Mara (crossing the border in to Kenya) and all the way down to Rwanda. Paul arranged everything we needed to cross the borders as smoothly as possible - but the thing you have to remember is that in Africa nothing is ever as easy as you hope it will be.
Regardless, the car was in good shape and handled the roads (and pot holes) as well as can be expected. A couple of tire repairs were necessary but Africa is full of service shops who can patch and repair tires. We did ask Paul to get us a new spare which he agreed to and met us out on the road after one tire was unfortunately beyond repair.
Wonderful experience and an absolutely incredible way to see more of Uganda, Tanzania and Kenya than I ever imagined I would. It's a pretty special part of the world and the people are - for the most part - wonderful and very kind.
Paul and 4x4 Uganda are two things you can put your trust in while planning your trip. Highly recommended.

With 4x4 Uganda from Entebbe to Dar Es Salaam, a perfect ride
We hired a nice Landcruiser from 4x4 Uganda, for 3 weeks, reservations and contract done by internet . The company gave excellent services and helped us with visa and all other information needed. The car was delivered to us in Entebbe at the hotel. We drove through Uganda, Rwanda and Tanzania and handed the car over in Dar Es Salaam where the company picked the car. We had the first days in and around Kampala a very good and nice driver, the rest of the 4000 km's we drove ourselves. The car and company were and are very reliable and we had a great time in 3 East African countries.

Great car, excellent service
I booked my entire holiday in Uganda myself: car rental, lodges, trekking permits.
Had lots of email contacts with a lot of people to arrange it all, but Paul from 4x4Uganda was the one I could rely on to reply prompty and accurately. Knowing what I know now, I would have asked Paul to take care of the trekking permits as well, and would have consulted him abour our lodge reservations. I got a good price on the car, and it performed great. Yes, there was a problem: a shock broke down. Within 3 hours after I phoned Paul there was a mechanic at the (remote) lodge where I was staying, with a replacement shock. At no extra costs for me.
I also had to drive the car over a flooded road, and the one meter high water proved too much for a bigger toyota safari jeep, but the prado came through without problems. (Made for some nice video's to:-)
In short: good car, good price, great service! Highly recommended!!!

Excellent value 4x4 hire in Uganda
The whole experience with 4x4 Uganda was great - made the booking via email, and Paul quickly answered all my queries. The car itself proved excellent - no reliability problems, and it took me and my son safely round the country, including on some rough roads in the national parks. I would definitely book through them again, and would recommend them to others.

Excellent service with good value for money
We rented a Toyota RAV4 from Paul for a 20 day selfdrive-roadtrip through Uganda. At the beginning I contacted several rental agencies and compared prices. Paul gave me the best offer including camping equipment, Gorilla Permit orgaization, delivery to the airport and pick up from entebbe and navigation system.
Paul answered to every of our 1000 questions beforehand quickly and professional. Even during the road trip Paul was all the time available and helped us throughout the roadtrip.
The car was in good condition and did a great job during our 3000km drive.
One thing for improvement: the quality of the camping gear (tent was too small and the sleeping bags quite old and too warm)
All in all good value for money and I would book my car again from 4x4 uganda and would recommend it to any friend of mine going to Uganda.
