Cheap Firefly Car Hire in Stellenbosch

If you're looking for more comfort or features, inquire about upgrade options at the rental desk. Sometimes, upgrades are offered at a discounted rate at pickup.

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

When hiring a car, especially if you’re arriving in Stellenbosch by flight, plan for extra time at pickup to accommodate any potential delays. Suppliers like Firefly typically offer a grace period of 30-60 minutes. Providing your flight number can be helpful, but if you’re running late, be sure to call the supplier to inform them.

Knowing local laws helps prevent fines and makes your driving experience smoother.

When hiring a car in Stellenbosch, choose a car hire deal with a “Full-to-Full” or “Same-to-Same” fuel policy from suppliers like Firefly. 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.

Before returning the vehicle, clarify the return procedures with the rental company. Knowing where to drop off the car and any required inspections can streamline the process.
