Hiring a Car in South Africa: Good to Know
How to Find the Cheap Car Hire Deal in South Africa
Be Aware of Traffic Patterns
Familiarize yourself with local traffic patterns, peak hours, and driving etiquette to navigate more safely.
Understand local driving conditionsConfirm drop-off location to avoid confusion.
Before finalising your car hire in South Africa, make sure to confirm the drop-off location with your provider. This will help you save time and prevent any misunderstandings at the end of your car hire period.
Confirm your drop-off locationThoroughly review hire terms
Before booking a car hire in South Africa, carefully examine the terms from suppliers like Europcar, Hertz, and Keddy by Europcar. Focus on details such as payment card requirements, deposits, cross-border travel rules, and driving licence specifications to avoid unexpected issues.
Check car hire conditions to avoid surprisesUnderstand Pet Policies
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.
Confirm the rental company's pet policyConfirm Payment Methods
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.
Choose the right payment optionKnow how car hire duration affects pricing
In South Africa, car hire options are billed on a daily basis. Renting for over 24 hours will incur a charge for an additional day, so be sure to plan your hire duration to avoid extra costs.
Plan your car hire duration wiselyCheck license and age requirements.
Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to South Africa, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70
Find the best deals for drivers of all ages from South AfricaUnderstand Free Tank Options
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.
