Hiring a Car in South Africa: Good to Know

How to Find the Cheap Car Hire Deal in South Africa

Plan for Navigation Tools

Decide whether to rent a GPS or use your smartphone for navigation; consider data costs if using mobile.
Choose GPS or smartphone options

Compare Insurance Options: Free Excess vs. Not Free

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.
Choose the right insurance coverage

Guarantee Your Car Type

If you have a specific vehicle in mind, opt for rentals that guarantee your chosen car type. This ensures that you receive the vehicle you expect, rather than being offered an alternative.
Choose a rental with guaranteed car type

Consider Car Upgrades

If you're looking for more comfort or features, inquire about upgrade options at the rental desk. Sometimes, upgrades are offered at a discounted rate at pickup.
Explore upgrade options for comfort

Plan 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 drivers

Choose a fuel policy that saves you money.

When renting a car from South Africa, choose a car hire deal with a “Full-to-Full” or “Same-to-Same” fuel policy from suppliers like Europcar, Hertz, Keddy by Europcar,Sixt, These policies ensure you only pay for the fuel you use, helping you avoid unnecessary costs. While a “Full-to-Empty” policy might seem convenient, it can often be more expensive if you don’t use all the fuel.
Choose a cost-effective car hire fuel policy

Choose Convenient Pickup Locations

Select a pickup location that is convenient for you. Some rental companies offer locations within the airport for quick access, while others may require shuttle transportation.
Find the best pickup locations

Check for Hidden Fees

Before booking, review the rental agreement for any hidden fees such as airport surcharges, additional driver fees, or late return penalties. Understanding these can help you budget more effectively.
Be aware of potential extra charges
