Before renting a car, check if your personal car insurance covers rental losses. Many personal auto insurance policies and credit cards offer coverage for rentals, which could save you from extra insurance fees.

Most rental companies will require a credit card for the deposit, which is typically frozen in your account. Make sure to inquire about the specific deposit amount and the policy for releasing the freeze.

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.

A credit card is often required for deposits, especially with suppliers like Eco by Europcar in Cape Town. If you only have a debit card, use our website filter to find suitable offers or consider obtaining a credit card. Ensure that the main driver’s card is used to avoid any additional fees.

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

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

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.
