Our Story

KAMPALA'S PREMIUM
CAR DESTINATION

Founded in 2016, Next Rides Uganda was built on a single belief: that every Ugandan deserves access to the world's finest automobiles at honest prices. What started as a deep passion for premium engineering has grown into the country's most trusted luxury car dealership.

We specialise in importing directly from Europe, Japan and the UAE — handling all URA customs clearance, duty payments, logbook transfers and documentation in-house, so our clients never have to worry about a single form or step.

Over 8 years and 5,000+ happy clients later, Next Rides remains a proudly Ugandan business with a global reach and an uncompromising standard.

About the Founder
"I wanted every Ugandan to experience the world's finest cars — not just dream about them."

Ismail Lubowa Kalyango founded Next Rides Uganda with a single vision: bring world-class automobiles directly to Kampala with full transparency, honest pricing, and zero import stress for every client.

A lifelong car enthusiast, Ismail built Next Rides from the ground up — sourcing directly from Europe, Japan and the UAE, managing every URA clearance himself in the early days, and never compromising on the standard of vehicles he puts in front of clients.
