Driving in Uganda is on the left hand side. Inorder for foreigners to drive, one requires an international driving permit.

Uganda has good passable roads, with road-signs.There are several car hiring services in Uganda, however, it is convenient for foreigners to have an International Driving License. Valid road licenses are endorsed at the Road Transport Office/revenue Authority offices in Kampala before hiring a car for self drive.

Most car hiring companies recommend that the client takes out Personal Accident Insurance inclusive of Medical Repatriation, from the point of departure. This is because this is not covered under the vehicle's Insurance coverage. Car Hire services are also available with several companies providing car hiring services. Drivers can be provided on request, and self drive services are also available. " Special Hire" taxis are available in all parts of the city. All vehicles have Full Comprehensive Insurance coverage and the client is liable to a charge depending on the car for any damage sustained by the vehicle during the hire period in case of self drive. Only those with a valid International Licence, 23 years old and holding a valid Full driving license for a period of more than 2 years are allowed self-Drive, with Full Comprehensive Insurance.
