Cape Town Car Rentals

Cape Town Car Rentals
Renting a car will mean that you will be able to explore Cape Town at your own pace in a surprisingly affordable way.

You will find most of South Africa's major car rental companies are represented in Cape Town.

What makes this option even more attractive, is the fact that Cape Town's roads are well marked and are in an excellent condition.

Tips to get the best deal when renting a vehicle:

  • Select your choice of vehicle according to your actual needs by considering car size for luggage and passenger space.
  • Renting a lower car group means less fuel consumption, cheaper waivers, reduced excess and lower damage costs.

  • Check conditions relating to refuelling prior to returning your vehicle. Many companies impose a surcharge if you don’t refuel.
  • Consider sharing when you are travelling in the same region.
  • Consider using a Point-2-Point transfer instead of car rental. This will allow you to sit back and enjoy the scenery. And you won’t need to worry about getting lost or searching for parking.
  • Make sure you get your vehicle back in time.

Confirm whether the following add-ons is included in the deal:

  • Super cover - dramatically reduces your excess in the event of a collision or theft.
  • Best Price Guarantee ensures that should you find the same car deal for less (on a like for like basis), we'll match the price!
  • VAT
  • Airport tax
  • Unlimited mileage
  • Tourism levy

  • Leave valuables at your place of accommodation, otherwise locked away.
  • Many guides have maps - use them.
  • When lost, use Table Mountain as a reference.
  • Do not pick up hitchhikers.
