What types of cars can I rent in Bathurst?
Crowded city streets and narrow parking spots are no issue for an economy car — the most sought-after rental type in Bathurst. Hop behind the wheel of one of these and negotiate traffic like a dream. Affordable, reliable and good on fuel, these small rides pack plenty of punch. But Bathurst can be explored in almost any sort of rental you like. Compact, mid-size and full-size vehicles are other options to consider.

Everyone knows that Bathurst is one of the leading destinations in Eastern Cape. But you’ll also find lots of other fantastic places to explore when you book a vehicle and hit the road. Here are some tips to get your escape off to a spectacular start:

  • Boasting sights and activities galore, Gqeberha is approximately 75 miles from Bathurst. First pit stop? Head straight for Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium, one of this city’s highlights.
  • East London, around 70 miles away, also promises a memorable time. Curious what there is to see? Eastern Beach is one of our favourite stops.
  • After all that time behind the wheel, treat yourself to some time in nature at Tsitsikamma National Park. It’s roughly 170 miles from Bathurst.
