Cape Town Car Hire

 
 

Having a car in Cape Town is essential. Public transport is practically non-existent and all the best bits of Cape Town are not the city itself but just outside. The good news is that driving is very easy and the roads are good. Brits will particularly appreciate that in South Africa you drive on the left.

We have used most of the car hire companies around the Cape and currently our arrangements are with National/Alamo who have provided an excellent service for our clients and unbeatable prices over the last couple of years. The deal we have means no annoying extra charges - book with us and:

- No contract fees
- No excess charges
- Free delivery for most Cape Town destinations
- Unlimited mileage

Most of our clients get us to meet them at the airport and then have car dropped off to the accommodation. We also able to arrange for cars to picked up in one destination and dropped off in other, particularly useful if you want to drive up the Garden Route and fly back (internal flights are very good value in South Africa.)

Below are a selection of our cars - by far the most popular are the Group B for couples and small families and Group I for a bit more space. Price guides are below but for a confirmed quote give us a shout.
