Kampala comprises of narrow streets and heavy traffic congestion, especially near the city centre. Consider hiring a compact from the car hires in Kampala, as the vehicle ensures easy manoeuvrability of the narrow and congested streets. Certain areas in Kampala, and even the city's outskirts, have unpaved roads, so hiring a car with good ground clearance to manoeuvre unpaved and uneven roads will be easier. Kampala also experiences a tropical climate throughout the year. Therefore, it's a good idea to hire a car with air conditioning, especially when visiting the city in hot weather seasons.
The speed limit in Kampala is 50 km/h (31 mph) in built-up areas, including residential areas and the city centre, and 60 km/h (40 mph) to 80 km/h (50 mph) on major roads and highways. Certain areas, however, may have variable speed limits; therefore, ensure you check for the electronic signs for the accurate speed limit. Speed cameras are in specific areas within the city, so ensure you maintain the speed limits to avoid penalties for violations.
You can park in Kampala in various places, some are free, while others have a parking fee. Consider residential areas, some markets and shops, and public streets for free parking. The cost of parking in Kampala, Uganda, is about 1000 UGX (0.21 GBP) to 2000 UGX (0.42 GBP) per hour, and around 5000 UGX (1 GBP) to 15000 UGX (3 GBP) per day. For paid parking, you can consider the FST Car Park, MUBS Annex Car Park, Capital Shoppers Ntinda Car Park, Garden City Mall Parking, and Oasis Mall Car Park. Since finding a parking space may be difficult, especially near the city centre, parking your hire car in one of the free car parks and using public transport as an alternative saves you the hassle of looking for a parking space in Kampala.
