Driving in heavy rains.

Driving in heavy rains

Driving in heavy rains while in Uganda is not advised because Uganda experiences a rainy season that comes with heavy rains. Nearly half (46%) of all weather-related car accidents — more than 700,000 a year — are due to rain worldwide. As we experience more soggy weather, it’s imperative that all drivers are schooled on how they can practice driving in heavy rains and maneuver their vehicle and avoid weather-related auto accidents, which often cause death rates to rise in Uganda.

Here are some tips for driving in heavy rains:

  1. Exercise caution when heavy rains follow hot, dry spells. Engine oil and grease build-up on roads and highways over time, and when combined with precipitation, you’ve got the equivalent of an automotive Slip ‘N Slide. Road conditions may improve after the season’s first rain washes away most of the grime, but you’ll need to still exercise caution when driving in the rain.
  2. Slow down. Wet pavement causes tires to lose traction and vehicles become more difficult to handle.
  3. Avoid standing water on roadways. Not only can you hydroplane and lose control, but you can impair your vision and other drivers’ visibility by splashing through puddles. Moreover, standing water often shields potholes and debris from view and it can reduce the effectiveness of your vehicle’s brakes.
  4. Drive in the tracks of the car in front of you. This allows the vehicle ahead to displace any standing water that’s on the road.
  5. Increase your following distance. Slick roads, wet brakes and reduced visibility can lead to collisions. Give other vehicles plenty of room and brake early with reduced force.
  6. If your car begins to hydroplane, do not brake or turn the wheel abruptly as this may cause your vehicle to go into a skid or spin. Take your foot off the gas and keep the wheel straight until your car reclaims traction. Brake gently if needed.
  7. Don’t use cruise control. It can cause your car to accelerate when hydroplaning and reduces driver attentiveness.
  8. Grip the steering wheel with both hands to maximize vehicle control. This means putting down your cell phone (remember, texting while driving is still illegal in 35 states) coffee, makeup, shaver, sandwich or anything else that takes your hands off the wheel and eyes away from the road.
  9. Keep your windshield wipers in tip-top shape. Winter cold can wreak havoc on your blades, so get them checked before rainy seasons arrive.
  10. Defog your windows. Precipitation can cause your windshield to quickly fog up, so use the front and rear defrosters to maximize visibility.

Employing these tips of driving in heavy rains you can save your life.

Long term car hire vs public transport

Long term car hire

Long term car hire vs public transport blog post gives you insight on the benefits of Long term car hire in Uganda over the use of public transport

Long term car rentals are good, convenient and comfortable for moving from one place to another for various reasons.  There are a number of transport means used all over the world, some people use their private cars, others use buses, trains, taxis, and plane. However, there is another traveling option for people today that is convenient, safe, comfortable and affordable called self drive car hire.  This is the commonly used means of transport lately and travelers find it very comfortable for things like vacations, city tours, airport transfer, business trips and in case of your own car break down, you can opt for this.

Here are some of the reasons as to why long term car hire is a greater alternative than public transport.

Greater control

For more than a decade people have been using long term car hire services but these have been greatly involved with tour agencies and other related companies and most of the times drivers have been assigned to lead the travelers. However, car hire companies are willing to rent a car in Kigali to people with an option of self drive in Rwanda and this is a great idea because:

  • You don’t have to get a chauffeur and pay for his services
  • You plan for your travel
  • You have the independence and privacy as you are the driver and the only passenger in the car
  • If you are on a family vacation, there is freedom to do whatever you like

These car hire services are nowadays are so affordable and you almost incur the same costs like using public transport in particular traveling to remote areas. One is also more likely to get a discount while using long term car hire.

Other benefits from long term car hire vs public transport

Long term car hire has been so dull in Africa however it is developing slowly as the world has become a global village as there are number of foreign national coming to Rwanda for business, vacation, political obligations and also have families in Rwanda so at time they need cars for hire in Rwanda to take them around as they fulfill their obligations. These are the other benefits people get from long term car hire;

  • they are always insured in case of any damage to car one is not worried of the bills to clear up for the damages
  • they come with extra facilities like GPS for one taking a self drive in an unknown place and baby seats for the case of one traveling with a family
  • They are spacious as one is able to carry his/her luggage with easy while traveling as the car hire companies have SUVs that are meant to carry passengers with large luggage.
  • One is able to travel in style and makes a good impression for the businessmen as the car hire agencies rent out very nice vehicles to their customers.

Kigali International Airport

Kigali International Airport

Crystal car hire brings you tips about getting around Kigali International airport which is Rwanda’s international and only airport located in its capital Kigali. It is the main hub of transportation in Rwanda.
Many people who come to Rwanda pass through Kigali air hub terminal. These come for business, political reasons while others come to have a good time touring Rwanda at large as they look at the various tourist attractions in Rwanda. However, all these need airport transfer to reach their destinations or hotel. There are very means of ground transportation used to get in and away from Kigali international airport since it is within the capital city.

Here we are going to go through the different means of ground transport used to get in and out of Kigali international airport in Rwanda

The commonly used means of transport for Kigali airport transfer is car hire services in Rwanda due to the fact there are a lot of car hire companies in Kigali that are offer cars for rent at affordable rate with remarkable services. Many people prefer using car rental in Kigali because they are convenient, safe and reliable.

Furthermore, there are fast and very comfortable as there is always a professional driver on the wheels who knows every route in Kigali and Rwanda at large. These are always available at any time of the day as they operate 24/7. This is the best travel option for one’s airport transfer.

Other ways used to get in and out of Kigali international airport.

Airport taxis are one of the means that are used for airport transfer in Rwanda. These are always around the airport waiting for the traveler to get out of the terminal to take them to their various destinations. All you need to do is agree on the price for the airport transfer with the driver then you are good to go. However, these are expensive as they are always on high demand by very many travelers.

There are also public buses in Kigali which are always passing by the airport leading their way to Lemera town. So as one gets out of the airport he/she can embark on one but these are not reliable as one has to wait for them to pass by the airport to embark on them and they do not operate 24 hours. One can mostly use them during the day. If one is getting into the airport then he/she will have to get to the public transport park to board one to take him or her to the airport.

Some people use motorbikes for airport transfer. These are also called boda-bodas and they have certain stages around Kigali or some are found while moving but these are not as safe as they are always threatened by the big vehicles while on the road.

Some people use residential car, in particular, the nationals of Rwanda who live in the country. They are always picked up and dropped to the airport by their relatives.

However with all the above options of airport transfer, car hire services in Rwanda are the best since they offer the traveler with safety, convenience and reliance which are every traveler’s dream after a long haul flight or before it.

International Driving Permit

Having your International Driving Permit is not necessary for all countries, but we recommend you get one, especially if you frequently travel abroad – whether with your own car or rented cars. Since there has been some changes in UK citizens in February and March 2019, we have updated our article, so you have all the information in one place.

What is an International Driving Permit?

An International Driving Permit (IDP) is an official document that validates your driving licence in other countries. For validation of your IDP, you need to have – of course – a valid driving licence.
An IDP is a requirement for hiring a car in over 140 countries. We should warn you that driving without an IDP can result in very high fees, so if you don’t consider yourself a gambler – get your IDP!
An IDP is essentially a multi-language translation of your driving licence which is slightly larger than your passport and accompanied by your photo and vital personal information.

How much does an IDP cost?

It depends. The price ranges from 15 $ in the U.S. to 35 € in European Union countries. Every country sets its own pricing, so check with your own office.

How can you get an IDP?

The process varies between different countries, so you should probably check the official website for your country. Usually, it is a simple process that can be done online. Go and check your country’s main office that issues driving licences, and their website will probably tell you where you can get an IDP.

If you are from the UK, you can get an IDP through the Post Office branches. You must be 18 years old and also have a regular UK driving licence.

When you decide to apply (do this well in advance of your travel dates, just to be sure), you will need:

  • Your regular driving licence – bring the old paper version or the new photocard, whatever you have as a valid licence
  • A passport size photo that you’ve signed on the back (you will not get the photo back, plan accordingly)
  • Proof of identification (a passport will suffice)
  • The application fee.

Can you renew an international driving permit?

The international driving permit will be issued to you for the next year or three years, depending on what country you are from. Different countries issue licences with a different validity date.

When it expires, you will need to get a new IDP. It is not possible to renew an international driving permit. This means that you will have to pay the fee again, submit a new photo and apply in the same way you did when you got your International Driver’s Licence in the first place. Thus, if you will be out of the country, and your country does not allow you to apply online, you won’t be able to get a new licence and will have to travel back to your country and re-apply.

How long does it take to get an international driving permit?

Again, the answer to the question is “it depends” because different countries use different solutions. In some countries, you can get your IDP in a minute, but in other countries, you need to apply for it online and then wait for it to be delivered to your home via a delivery courier. This can take a couple of days, and there may be problems or unexpected delays with the delivery.

In the UK, you can go directly to one of the Post Offices that issue IDPs and get one immediately.

International driving permit for UK citizens

For all UK citizens looking for additional information about the IDP, here are all the details. To be eligible to get an IDP, you must:

  • Have a full UK valid driving licence. You can only apply for an IDP for the same type of vehicle as you have a valid driving licence for in the UK.
  • Be a permanent resident of the UK (if not, you need to get an IDP in the country where you have permanent residency).
  • Be 18 or over.

A 1926 or 1949 permit lasts for 12 months. A 1968 permit lasts for 3 years or until your UK driving licence expires, whichever comes first.

Important: The RAC has stopped issuing International Driving Permits (IDPs). From 1st February 2019 the Post Office is the sole issuer of IDPs. You can use the Post Office website to find out which branches can issue IDPs over the counter, since it will no longer be issued by mail order. If you currently have a 1949 IDP, this will remain valid until the date it expires. You will be able to apply for all three types of IDP (1949, 1968 and 1926) at 2,500 Post Offices across the UK. This international driving permit is in addition to, not a replacement of, your UK driving licence – which you also need to take with you if you’re driving and/or hiring a car abroad.

If you are a UK citizen with a valid UK licence, you generally don’t need an IDP to drive in EU/EEA countries. That includes nations not in the EU, including Iceland, Norway, Liechtenstein and Switzerland. But if you’re venturing further afield, you might need to carry an IDP too. However, this is only true if you have the “new” photocard driving licence. If you have an older licence which is not the standardized EU photocard style, you should probably get an IDP.

For European countries outside the EU, UK driving licences may not be accepted and you may require an IDP. For further details on the requirements of these countries visit the Government website, or check with the country’s embassy directly.

If you are a UK citizen and are moving abroad, the requirements change. You should check with your local driving licence authorities to find out how to get a local driving licence. Some countries will allow you to exchange your UK licence without taking another driving test. This is especially true for all the EU countries, which will allow you to easily swap out your licence and then retrieve your UK licence if and when you move back to the UK. If you are moving to a non-EU country, check with the local authorities.

Please note, that once the UK formally leaves the EU, these rules may change and will be dependent on what deal the Government gets with the EU.

IDP after Brexit and driving in the EU after Brexit

The formal leaving date is yet to be If the UK leaves the EU without a deal on 31 October 2019, you might need an IDP to drive in all EU and European Economic Area (EEA) countries, apart from Ireland. This will mean that an additional 7 million IDPs will be required in the first year and probably every year after, so it is possible that a lot of things will change after Brexit.

In the event of no-deal you will need a:

  • 1926 permit to drive in Liechtenstein
  • 1949 permit to drive in Spain, Iceland, Malta and Cyprus
  • 1968 permit to drive in all other EU countries, plus Norway and Switzerland

Should I get my IDP now, just in case?

If the UK leaves the European Union with ‘no deal’, a 1949 version of the IDP which can be purchased now and is valid for 12 months, would be required when driving in Spain, Malta, Ireland and Cyprus. All other EU countries would require a 1968 IDP which will only be available over the counter in Post Office branches. Separate arrangements in non-EU/EEA countries will apply.

FAQs about the IDP

  • An international driver’s permit is not a valid driver’s licence in your home country. When driving abroad, you always need both your original driver’s licence and the International Driver’s Permit.
  • You cannot get an IDP if you have only a provisional licence (unless you’ve just passed your test, in which case you can apply using your test pass certificate that is valid for two years).
  • You can’t apply more than three months before your planned travel dates.
  • An IDP can’t have a starting date before your application date (i.e., it can’t be backdated).
  • You need to make sure that all the information on your driver’s licence is correct and that it matches the data on your home driver’s license; otherwise you may have trouble with the local police.
  • An IDP will cover you for tourism purposes, but if you are taking up residence or planning to drive for employment purposes you will need to find out about your personal circumstances before relying on an IDP.
  • When hiring a car abroad, remember that licence requirements worldwide do vary. If you’re making an advance reservation in the UK, ask the relevant company to confirm the driving licence requirements of the countries you’re visiting. Even if you don’t have this info, however, consider an IDP a precautionary measure, especially if travelling outside of Europe.
  • Most countries require the 1949 Convention IDP, but some require the 1926 Convention IDP. Make sure you have the correct IDPs for all the countries you are intending to visit.

What happens if I drive without one?

In general, this is a major offence comparable to driving without a valid driver’s licence. This means that you should really make sure that you do not need one and that your own driver’s licence will be valid in the country that you plan to drive in.

You should also keep your IDP on you at all times. Don’t leave your documents in your hotel or Airbnb. You should have it with you and be ready to show it to the authorities if you get stopped. However, keep in mind that some police officers may be satisfied with just your original driver’s licence, so when asked, present that first and only show your IDP when you’ve been specifically asked to do so.

Driving safely in heavy rain

Driving safely in heavy rain

Driving in heavy rain is not advised, it is perfect if we can remain at home, have some espresso while enjoying the rain. But in a few circumstances that you truly need to go out, these advise may give a safe drive in heavy rain.

Driving safely in heavy rain is unnerving and perilous, but following the security tips below when driving in heavy rain enables drivers to deal with any tempest.

Take your time.
Among the best advice to avoid accident while driving in the rain is to reduce speed. Some drivers don’t like this advice of reducing speed just because of little rain, however it really helps. Additionally remember that the most dangerous minute to drive is directly after the rain started, as the water mixes with roadway oils, brings about the slickest roads. Instead of rushing to your destination, wait for some time and reducing speed can be a much safer plan.

Reducing speed when driving in rain also keeps your car from hydroplaning, you may be thinking that everything is under your control, yet it is a different story when hydroplaning happens. At the point when this happens, your tires will mainly contact with the thin layer of water rather than the road surface. This makes braking difficult and reduces your ability to drive.

Leave a safe distance from others.
Pursuing the front car’s tail is a very dangerous idea. It is risky as well as makes other drivers apprehensive and panic and its worse when it’s raining. A tip to evade this risk while driving is to keep a distance around 3 times normally to stop to be able to stop the cat in the rainy day. Give other cars enough time and space to react to traffic is suggested, particularly in heavy rain.

Guarantee Your Vision.
In the law of numerous nations, driving in the rain requires headlights in order to give vision to yourself and other drivers on the road. Nobody needs to be penalized for breaking traffic law and no traffic officer wants to go out in the rain to penalize you consequently. So for your own safety, turn on those headlights!

Observe and Analyze.
Most drivers control their autos by propensities and instincts, not by their contemplations. But, when it is raining like there’s no tomorrow, the conditions are less than ideal and it requires drivers to focus on their surrounding and remain caution every minute.

Turn off cruise Control.
Cruise control is doubtlessly a good invention in most circumstance, expect raining. A standout amongst the most vital things to control your vehicle from hydroplaning is slowing, however in the event that you are in cruise control, your car will go faster. Unexpectedly, cruise control may really make drivers lose control.

Be aware of the flow.
The worst mistake most drivers make is to underestimate the pond of water made by rain. Indeed, even the huge size vehicle can be moved by water flow, and in the event that you have no other choice apart from passing through the water, know 2 factors:
The profundity of the pond: You may know the road very well, but in the event that you have no idea how deep the water is, the best arrangement is to find other way.
The force: The power of water flow can sometimes sweep the car, so it is shrewdly to avoid large puddles if possible.

Self drive adventure

10 Days of Sounds of the North, Self drive adventure

Murchison Falls National Park can be reached via different routes on a self drive adventure or chauffeur driver tour in Uganda. Many people enter the park via the southern Masindi gate, as it is the closest to Kampala city (in kilometres), and you pass Budongo Forest where you can go chimp trekking. But the road is often in poor condition, and it’s a long drive from the park entrance to the Paraa jetty where the centre of the action is.

Murchison Falls can be reached via various routes.  The southern Masindi gate is easily accessible as it is the closest to Uganda’s capital city – Kampala. But it gives a long self drive adventure since this route is a long one, dull drive from the park entrance to the Paraa jetty where the centre of the action is. Moreover, it’s a challenging road due to the rocky surface with washboard ribbons and notorious for single vehicle roll-overs. Drive slowly (25km/h) otherwise it is easy to lose control.

There is a better route via the Northern gate (either Purongo or Takigate-Pakwach), passing Karuma Falls. The distance is longer,  but you get there faster and you enter the interesting section of the park straight away. An off-the-beaten-track alternative is via Lake Albert. After Masindi, the road is unsurfaced, so this greatly adds to your travel time, but it is one of the most scenic routes in Uganda.
