Hire a Car at the Cape Town Airport

Are you planning a trip to South Africa next spring? That is a good idea. Travel much more independent and experience with a hired car not only Cape Town, but the whole country. Driveboo cooperates with several local partners. Therefore you can choose the right hired car for you from many offers. This makes a holiday in the spring months even more fun.

New road regulations in Cape Town starting in 2022: The City of Cape Town has adopted new road regulations that allow authorities in the city to immediately impound vehicles for violations. 

Vehicle impoundment is currently only allowed under very specific and limited circumstances:

  • Reckless or negligent driving.
  • If you are determined to be unfit to drive.
  • Failure to properly display one or both license plates.
  • Driving without a license or with a license sticker that has been expired for more than 90 days.
  • Driving under the influence of alcohol.
  • Participating in unauthorized racing or speed testing or racing activities that create a traffic hazard.

What do I have to consider with the hired car in South Africa?

⌃
  • Please note that in South Africa you have to drive on the left side of the road, and you have to wear a seat belt.
  • Always keep to the blood alcohol limit of 0.5 per mille and to the maximum speeds of 60 km/h in the city, 100 km/h outside the city and 120 km/h on highways. High fines are imposed for violations of the rules.
  • Some sections of highways and country roads are subject to tolls. The fees vary depending on the region and distance.
  • Always drive carefully and with foresight when driving a hired car. It is not uncommon to encounter packed trucks or animals on the road.
  • If you want to take turns driving the hired car on a longer trip, you can specify an additional driver on site. In some offers an additional driver is already included in the rental price.

Can I book a hired car without excess at Cape Town Airport?

⌃

A hired car without excess is already available from 15 £ per day. In the event of damage, no further costs will be incurred. Simply check the box "Without excess" in the search mask.

If you plan to spend a lot of time outdoors and off-road, glass, tire and underbody insurance is also recommended. In any case, read through the rental conditions whether driving on off-road roads is allowed with the hired car.

Can I receive the hired car in Cape Town also at the hotel?

⌃

If you want hotel delivery, look for an offer near your hotel or place of stay, because airport stations rarely offer delivery of the hired car. Check the rental conditions under the keyword "delivery" to see if this service is available. Here you will also find all the information on what costs are associated with the service of delivery.

If delivery is offered, please indicate the name and address of your hotel in the field "Message to our service team". As soon as there is feedback from the rental company, you will be informed by our service team, and you will receive the new voucher with the information of the delivery.

Which extras are included in the price for the hired car at Cape Town Airport?

⌃

Extras and inclusive services such as a navigation device, an additional driver or unlimited kilometers are already included in the rental price, depending on the offer. Additional extras such as a child seat you can specify when booking in the reservation form under the item "Additional equipment" or alternatively in the field "Message to our service team". The applicable fees for this can be found in the rental terms and conditions and are usually payable upon acceptance of the hired car on site. In addition, the price for the hired car always includes liability insurance.
