Cheap Carwiz Car Rental in Cape Town

Knowing where to park can save you both time and money; check for fees and space.

When renting a car in Cape Town, choose a car rental deal with a “Full-to-Full” or “Same-to-Same” fuel policy from suppliers like Carwiz. These policies ensure you only pay for the fuel you use, helping you avoid unnecessary costs. While a “Full-to-Empty” policy might seem convenient, it can often be more expensive if you don’t use all the fuel.

A compact vehicle is easier to park and maneuver in congested city streets.

Many rental companies require payment by credit card and may not accept debit cards. If you only have a debit card, check the rental company's payment policies in advance and look for suitable options.

Before booking, review the rental agreement for any hidden fees such as airport surcharges, additional driver fees, or late return penalties. Understanding these can help you budget more effectively.

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.

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to Cape Town, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70

Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the vehicle's controls and features before driving off. Knowing how to operate essentials like headlights, wipers, and navigation systems can enhance safety and convenience.
