Many rental firms prefer credit cards and may not accept debit cards for payment. If you're using a debit card, confirm the company's policies before making a reservation.

Most car rental companies will ask for a credit card deposit, which is usually held temporarily. Inquire about the specific deposit amount and the process for releasing it once the rental is complete.

Select a car with good fuel efficiency to save money during your rental. This can significantly reduce your overall travel expenses.

Ensure your rental agreement, ID, and insurance details are easily accessible throughout your rental period for quick access if needed.

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to Cape Town, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70

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.

Check if the rental company provides extras such as GPS devices or child seats. These can enhance your experience but may come with added fees, so plan accordingly.

When selecting insurance, consider whether it includes free excess coverage. Free excess means you won’t pay a deductible in case of damage, providing additional peace of mind. Compare options to find the best fit for your needs.
