Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

The fuel policy you select will determine your fueling responsibilities. With a full-to-full or same-to-same option, you need to return the car with the same amount of fuel it had at pickup. If not, you'll be charged for the missing fuel at a rate higher than the local gas stations. Alternatively, you can choose to prepay for a full tank. This means you won't need to refuel the car before returning it. However, the cost will be higher overall since you'll be charged the local gas price minus a per-gallon discount, leading to an increased total cost.

Is it a good idea to hire a car at Pietermaritzburg Airport, PZB

Accepted Answer

Renting a car at Pietermaritzburg Airport, PZB can be a good idea depending on your travel needs and preferences. If you plan to explore areas outside the city or need the flexibility of having your own vehicle, then renting a car might be beneficial.

Always check the local driving laws and ensure you're comfortable with the driving conditions before deciding to hire a car.

Question 4

What is the process for returning vehicles at Pietermaritzburg Airport?

Question 5

Can someone else drive my hire car?

Accepted Answer

It also outlines any additional services requested, such as GPS or child seats, and specifies policies on fuel, mileage limits, and fees for additional drivers. Additionally, the contract normally includes information about responsibilities for property damage, procedures for returning the vehicle, age requirements, and accepted forms of identification, like a valid driver's license and credit card.

Accepted Answer

If you damage a hire car, the Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) generally covers the cost of repairs. To avoid out-of-pocket expenses, ensure your insurance policy includes zero excess.
