Car Hire Cape Town
In terms of car hire, Cape Town is very well served by dint of its flourishing tourist industry. CarHire4Less operates throughout Cape Town and from Cape Town International Airport in association with Hertz, Alamo, Europcar and Budget. Car hire in Cape Town is easy and affordable if you do it through CarHire4Less. Contact us or enquire on our website beforehand and we can have your car ready and waiting when you arrive in Cape Town. When you hire a car through us, the contract already includes airport surcharges, bail bonds (where needed), collision damage waiver immunity, Third Party insurance (covering vehicle damage or injury to a third party) and fire and theft cover. Keep in mind that certain items are not covered by the rental agreement and are regarded as extras that you may add when you collect the vehicle. For example, personal accident insurance and coverage of your luggage and belongings are not included, but you may arrange for this upon collecting the vehicle. In addition, you will be charged accordingly if you do not return the vehicle with a full tank of fuel. You should keep certain things in mind when hiring a car in Cape Town. Arrange your rental car as far in advance as possible, to ensure that you get the vehicle of your choice on the preferred date. Cape Town is a very popular destination and our cars are in high demand. Have your driver’s licence and credit card ready when you arrive at the counter, so we may assist you in double quick time and send you on your way with your vehicle. After all, you do not want to waste your time with admin when you could be exploring the beautiful Mother City. Hire a vehicle that will suit your needs. It can become very hot in Cape Town in summer; therefore, a vehicle with air conditioning is highly recommended from November to March. We have many types of vehicles available, from the smallest economy cars to luxury vehicles and SUVs. If you require a large vehicle for extra comfort travelling the Western Cape, we have several you can choose from. However, if you are mainly going to travel within Cape Town’s City Bowl, a smaller vehicle is recommended, because many of the city’s streets are narrow and traffic can be very congested, making it easier to get around in a compact car. Cape Town is a traveller’s Mecca and there are many great places to visit. The city’s beaches are beautiful and very popular when the weather is fair. A visit to Robben Island is always very fascinating, as you explore the tiny island that was once a place of exile for political prisoners. The Victoria & Alfred Waterfront is a large, premier shopping centre in the midst of a busy, commercial harbour. Then, of course, there are Table Mountain, Kirstenbosch and many more. If you are a foreign visitor in South Africa, take note of a few general driving rules. The first and most important is that South Africans drive on the left of the road. If you are unfamiliar with driving on the left and operating the gears with the left hand, make sure that you book a vehicle with an automatic transmission. Most rental cars in South Africa have manual transmissions and you have to explicitly request it if you require a vehicle with automatic transmission. Follow a preventative security approach. Always lock the vehicle, even if you are just quickly popping into a shop and do not leave any valuables in plain view in the vehicle. Never pick up hitchhikers. Because of inadequate public transport, car hire in Cape Town is the best way to get around. With CarHire4Less as your partner, you will be able to explore the fairest Cape in the vehicle of your choice at an extremely competitive rate |
