Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Cape Town?

Can I hire a car from Cape Town Intl. Airport (CPT)?
Yes, and you have plenty of choice. After you touch down and collect your luggage, head for the hire car centre in front of the Transport Plaza and Central Terminal Building. Here you can get your transport sorted with great companies like Avis, First Car Rental and Dollar/Thrifty. If you want some more options, also check out Capital and Woodford.
What happens if I need to cancel my Cape Town car reservation?
We've all been faced with times when even our best-laid plans get upended. That's why we offer a full refund on most hires if you cancel a minimum of six hours ahead of the scheduled collection time. Be sure to double-check your policy — in some cases it's not offered. Can't find the details there? Our Customer Service Portal is always here to help.
What types of cars can I rent in Cape Town?
Hop into a mini in Cape Town and see the sights in the most booked car here. From impressive fuel-efficiency to their small size, these rides are a top choice for the urban traveller. Cruise the city streets with minimal fuss and maximum fun. There's no reason you have to stick to something small though. Why not take things up a level and go for a full-size or even a premium vehicle?
Where can I go on a road trip from Cape Town?
Book a rental car, pick up the keys and get set to discover the endless attractions of Cape Town. But with loads more to see in the surrounding areas, that shouldn't be the end of the road! Set your sat-nav to some of the other intriguing places in the region:

  • You'll feel the pulse of a city bustling with life the minute you pull into Worcester. Some 65 miles from Cape Town, it's home to a ton of wonderful spots to visit, like Golden Valley Casino.
  • Another city that's a hit with travellers is Saldanha, around 70 miles away. Saldanha Harbour is just one of many reasons people love coming here.

What do you need to hire a car in Cape Town?
Before you can hit the road in Cape Town, you'll need a valid driver's license and a credit card that matches the name on your license.

Requirements can vary, so understand the policy terms and conditions before you select a hire supplier.

Where can I find a Cape Town hire car if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the hire companies that are in Cape Town. They often have different age policies.
