The talk is real and the ultimate checklist to traveling cheaply in Kampala is one of the sweet pills u can swallow with boda hailing drivers popping up from every corner in branded helmets and jackets. However, we have a simple guide to help you get the best boda pickup near you, juggled through Taxify, Uberboda, Safeboda or Dial Jack

Safety

Whenever you want to travel cheap and safely around Kampala the first option that comes to your mind is to use a ride hailing app. However, a few riders drive with partial customer gear witnessed by one helmet off some ride hailing services we’ve seen in Kampala. Unlike Safeboda’s tight policies granting a safety sleeze per driver, other apps tend to miss the double gear shot

As much as getting a ride around Kampala is as easy as a smartphone swipe! Safety is key when it comes to the Orange camp order that rules out its competitors hands down as a Safety guarantee service. Additionally, Taxify boda, Uber Boda and Dial Jack all track safety on a daily basis except that Safeboda leads with a slightly bigger margin in a city witnessing tremendous growth with low prices, safety, and convenience beating all non hailing drivers in a safety by price marathon

Price

Although Uber, Dial Jack and Safeboda all gift drivers with free insurance as a motivational factor controlling the low prices by all apps. Taxify boda, on the other hand, has not adhered to this wagon with its prices shaking drivers to the insurance iced camps. However, as riders continue to pose a high demand for boda pickups, the more prices treble down with the current rate card per service favorable enough for a low-cost pick up below

But then From the downtown based Mwanga II Road to Kawempe, a trip would cost you this much on either Taxify boda, Uber boda or Safeboda

In spite of the seductive trip rate cards published by all boda hailing firms, the actual prices depend on the distance and time while peak hours mean high prices with Uber and Taxify. Well, as witnessed in our basic experiment, safeboda appeared to be charging more as Taxify boda teases the lowest rates

However, the story was different after using Safeboda credit that chopped the total fare by 25% off with no additional high demand multiplications incurred. So, Safeboda credit is the game changer with a discount off per trip unlike the green camps

Payment Modes

All boda hailing services brag with the convenience tagline by their goals, none of these apps features a single payment solution except Dial Jack which is soon rolling out a mobile money option for their customers as per the website FAQ

Taxify & Uber boda both offer cash and credit options through a credit/debit card for the latter as Safeboda bosts with a mobile money option through its credit portal. So, all apps offer dynamic options with only safeboda shipping in the mobile money option at the moment when the 0.5% tax is a withdraws only levy

Availability

With activated zones in Kampala and Entebbe at the moment, all boda hailing apps offer services anywhere around Kampala or Entebbe with a basic flat rate of UGX 90,000 on a Kampala-Entebbe route by Taxify/Uber boda. Additionally, Safeboda recently widened its availability zones covering all Kampala outskirts and finally crossing over to Wakiso teasing a follow me candle with its 8,000 drivers at the moment to DialJack, Taxify, and Uber boda

While everyone can board a Dial Jack with or without the app. The new offer is exclusively for those with the Android app installed. In addition, you don’t need to pay any single coins or accept a rider receipt after hailing with Dial Jack boda. Cutting the long story short let’s see how you can enjoy these free rides.

Getting the Dial Jack free rides in Kampala

Similar to any other app, Dial Jack boda has two payment options including cash or credit. As much as Safeboda offers you more when you rely on their credit option. Dial Jack doesn’t require any top up to hook up their free trips. With Up-to 2 free trips per day, Dial Jack boda is giving each and everyone a chance to taste its services in Kampala with their app that is preloaded daily without any coupon codes inserted.

Step 1. Download the Dial Jack customer app

In case you’ve never tasted a hard time finding any app on the playstore. The Dial Jack app will be one of those stress factors as we had a hard time finding the customer app nor driver version. However, with a stable link to their app, you can rely on the download button below that redirects you to the app’s play store URL.

Step 2: Register/Login to the app

Step 3: Request for a pilot and ride away for free

Before hovering to the main Dial boda menu, an official Ad of free boda trips in Kampala will pop-up first. In addition, when you insert your destination and pick up points, the app won’t issue you any receipts when the trip ends. Nonetheless, we are not sure if this promotion will be available after October since the information on their social media pages clicks out October as the target month for free rides.
