Hiring a Car in South Africa: Good to Know
How to Find the Cheap Car Rental Deal in South Africa
Allow extra time for car pickup
When renting a car, especially after travelling by train, allocate extra time for pickup to account for possible delays. Most car rental companies offer a 30-60 minute grace period. Sharing your train number can be helpful, but if you're running late, be sure to contact the car rental provider to let them know.
Prepare in advance for a smooth car pickup experience
Understand Mileage Policies
Some rental agreements come with mileage limits, while others offer unlimited mileage. Make sure to review the mileage policy to avoid unexpected fees.
Know the mileage limits and fees
Understand Age Restrictions
Be aware that some rental companies impose age restrictions or additional fees for drivers under 25. Make sure to check the company’s age policy when booking.
Check age policies for rentals
Choose Convenient Pickup Locations
Select a pickup location that is convenient for you. Some rental companies offer locations within the airport for quick access, while others may require shuttle transportation.
Find the best pickup locationsInspect the Vehicle Before Driving Away
Before leaving the rental location, inspect the car for any existing damage and ensure it’s documented. Take photos if necessary to avoid disputes when returning the vehicle.
Ensure vehicle condition is documentedUnderstand Free Tank Options
Some rental companies offer a free tank of fuel with your rental. Be sure to understand the terms, including how much fuel you need to return the car with and any potential fees for not meeting these conditions.
Make the most of free tank offersKeep Rental Documents Accessible
Always keep your rental agreement, identification, and insurance information easily accessible during your rental period. This can help resolve any issues quickly.
