Cheap Eco by Europcar Car Rental in Cape Town

Using a GPS or navigation app can help you avoid traffic jams and find efficient routes.

Being aware of gas stations ensures you won't run low during your travels.

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 Eco by Europcar. 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.

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.

When selecting insurance, consider whether it includes free excess coverage. Free excess means you won’t pay a deductible in case of damage, providing additional peace of mind. Compare options to find the best fit for your needs.

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

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 your trip, confirm if your rental includes roadside assistance. This can be crucial in case of breakdowns or emergencies during your rental period.
