Hiring a Car in South Africa: Good to Know
How to Find the Cheap Car Hire Deal in South Africa
Check 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 AfricaPlan for Additional Drivers
If sharing driving responsibilities, check the policies regarding additional drivers. Some companies charge fees for each extra driver, while others may include it for free under certain conditions.
Understand fees for multiple driversCheck Your Personal Insurance
Before renting a car, check if your personal car insurance covers rental losses. Many personal auto insurance policies and credit cards offer coverage for rentals, which could save you from extra insurance fees.
Use personal insurance to save costsResearch Fuel Prices
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.
Know local fuel prices before returningConfirm 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 locationInspect the car before driving off.
Before driving away from South Africa , thoroughly inspect the car for any damage. Document any existing damage with photos or video to avoid disputes later on.
Start plan your trip in South Africa Check for Promotional Offers
Before booking, check for any promotional offers or discounts that may be available. Many rental companies provide seasonal deals or discounts for early bookings.
Look for discounts and dealsAllow extra time for car pickup
When renting a car, especially after travelling by train, allocate extra time for pickup to account for possible delays. Most car hire companies offer a 30-60 minute grace period. Sharing your train number can be helpful, but if you're running late, be sure to contact the car hire provider to let them know.
