Cheap First Car Hire in Durban

When hiring a car in Durban, be aware that rentals are charged per day. For instance, First charges per day, so if you rent for more than 24 hours, you’ll incur an additional day’s charge. Plan your hire period to avoid extra costs

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.

Research fuel prices in the area where you'll return the vehicle. Filling up at a local station may be cheaper than paying for fuel through the rental company, especially if they charge higher rates.

Before driving away in Durban, thoroughly inspect the car for any damage. Document any existing damage with photos or video to avoid disputes later on.
