Car Hire in Mouille Point, Cape Town, South Africa

When renting a car, understand the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy means you return the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' means you return it with the same level of fuel. Full-to-Full is often more cost-effective.

If you're traveling with pets, confirm the rental company's pet policy before booking. Some companies allow pets but may have specific fees or restrictions, so it’s best to clarify in advance.

Before renting, confirm if your personal auto insurance extends to rental vehicles. Many policies and credit cards offer this coverage, helping you avoid extra charges.

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.

Opt for car hire suppliers with high ratings, as these usually reflect better service, newer vehicles, and more convenient pickup locations. At Mouille Point, we have deals from suppliers. Among them, Keddy by Europcar boasts a rating of 4.8, Europcar has a rating of 4.7, and AVIS holds a rating of 4.6.

Some rental agencies might offer a free tank of fuel with your rental. Be aware of the conditions, such as how much fuel to return with to avoid extra charges.

When booking, check if the rental company offers extras such as GPS or child seats. These can enhance your driving experience but may incur additional costs, so it's wise to factor them into your budget.

If you have a specific vehicle model in mind, opt for rentals that assure the car type. This prevents surprises at pickup if a different vehicle is provided.
