5 Characteristics Of A Proffessional Ugandan Driver

A Chauffeur is a personal driver hired to transfer a client from one destination to another at a fixed or negotiable price. Your whole road trip can be a success or ruined given who you choose to be your personal guide. Before you decide to hire a driver in Uganda for  a guided safari, city tour, business or leisure vacation, you need to take notice of the level of professionalism before you finalize with the booking. 

Professionalism is ranked along many lines and below we at Tristar Africa Skimmer Safaris have listed the top 5 characteristics to look out for when choosing a local Uganda driver. 

Valid Driving Permit – Book a driver with an updated driver’s permit to avoid falling victim of traffic officer fines.  First make sure you check the  validity of the permit before embarking on the road trip. 

Driving School – Get into the drivers background and learn if he/ she has attended and graduated from a driving school. A well trained driver is well informed about the traffic rules and takes great precaution when driving on the road so you always assured you are in safe hands. 

Car Mechanical Knowledge  - The level of knowledge a local driver in Uganda has about a specific car also shows the level of professionalism. He/ she has to be well versed with both exterior and inside mechanical features that run a vehicle. You don’t have to worry about fixing an engine problem, oil leak, changing a tyre or even simply adjusting seats as your well trained driver got all this covered.

Level of Experience- Hire a driver who has been in the field for a considerable amount of time say over 7 years experience. The more time a driver has been on the road , the more  knowledge a driver acquires and vise-versa hence meaning you always have to opt for one who has vast experience. 

Appearance- Last but no least, when you opt to hire a Ugandan driver, always choose one who looks presentable. A professional driver has to be smart straight from the head to the toe, the hair style, clothes, shoes and body odor all are a great indication of class and cleanliness.
