Question 1

Can I hire a car from AVIS at Cape Town Station?

Accepted Answer

Yes – you can pick up AVIS hire cars from Cape Town Station.

Question 2

Is it necessary to buy additional insurance when hiring a car at Cape Town Station?

Accepted Answer

When hiring a car at Cape Town Station, valid insurance is required for financial protection; without it, your rental may be denied. If you already have insurance that covers international rentals for your vehicle type or if your credit card offers rental insurance abroad, you might not need extra coverage. However, if these conditions don't apply to you, purchasing additional insurance is advisable. You can choose from options such as Excess Fee Insurance during the booking process on our website, or Full Coverage Insurance or Excess Reduction at the rental counter to ensure comprehensive protection.

Question 3

How much does car hire insurance cost at Cape Town Station?

Accepted Answer

The cost of car hire insurance at Cape Town Station varies based on the type of coverage you select and the provider you choose. Insurance options typically include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW), Theft Protection, and Third-Party Liability, each with different price points. The amount of excess (the portion you must pay in the event of damage or theft) you choose will also impact the insurance cost. Some providers offer zero-excess insurance for greater peace of mind, but this option generally comes at a higher price. To find the best coverage for your needs and budget, it's advisable to compare different insurance options and rates available on various booking sites before finalizing your hire.

Question 4

Can I hire a car from at Cape Town Station and drop off at another location?

Accepted Answer

Question 5

Can another person drive my hire vehicle?

Accepted Answer

Yes, another person can drive your hire vehicle, but they must be listed as an additional driver on your hire agreement. If someone who is not included in the agreement drives the vehicle, it may void the hire contract, and the insurance provider might refuse to cover any damage. To ensure coverage and avoid potential issues, make sure to register any additional drivers with the car hire company.

Question 7

What is the minimum age to hire a car at Cape Town Station

Accepted Answer

The minimum age to hire a car at Cape Town Station station is typically 21 years old, although this can vary by region and car hire company. In countries like the United States and Canada, drivers younger than 25 may incur a young driver surcharge. In Europe, you can usually hire a car if you’re 18 years old, though additional fees might apply for drivers under 25. In Australia, the minimum age is also generally 21 years old, with extra charges possible for drivers younger than this age. Always verify the specific age requirements and potential surcharges with the car hire company, as these can differ significantly by provider and location.

Question 8

Do I need to return the car with a full tank of gas?

Accepted Answer

Whether you need to return the car with a full tank of gas depends on the fuel policy you select. With a full-to-full or same-to-same policy, you must return the vehicle with the same level of fuel it had when you picked it up. If you don’t, you’ll incur a charge for the missing fuel, usually at a rate higher than local gas stations. Alternatively, you can choose to prepay for a full tank, which means you won't need to refuel the car before returning it. However, this option typically results in a higher overall cost, as you’ll be charged the local gas price minus a discount per gallon.
