How to Pay for a Taxicab at Entebbe Airport
Traveling to or from Entebbe Airport by taxicab is not only easiest, but also the cheapest way to reach your next destination safely. EBB Airport is the main entry and exit point for travelers who get from abroad by plane. It is located about 6 kilometers from Kitoro town and 45 kilometers from Kampala city, the capital of Uganda.
This facility welcomes thousands of travelers daily and there is a cab for those who need quick transport. Be sure to book in advance. A driver will be available to wait for you at the Airport. After clearing at the immigration customs, move out and proceed to the arrivals waiting area. Look for the placard that displays your name.
The taxi fare charged mainly caters for fuel, Airport parking, driver commission, car maintenance and the expressway toll fee. Let me arrive to the answer of the main question. You always pay cash to the driver. Operators don’t have machines that charge credit cards. You can pay in Uganda shillings or the United States dollars.
All dollar notes are not accepted in Uganda. Forex exchange outlets take only dollar notes starting from year 2009 going up. Notes of 2008 and below are not taken. Moreover, they should be clean and with no any damages. For payment in UGX, if you don’t have cash you can withdraw at the ATM in the arrivals terminal.
