Reasonable Car Rental in Cape Town South Africa

Acquiring reasonable car rental in Cape Town South Africa is a great idea if you want a full Western Cape experience. Picturesque Cape Town is an extensive city. Reaching from the shores of the Atlantic to the beaches of the Indian Ocean, Cape Town is home to many a delight awaiting your discovery.

Car rental or public transport?

The South African road network is great. Road surfaces are in good condition and there is plenty of signage to help you find your way around. When you’re thinking about what kind of transport to use for your travelling, it’s necessary to consider all the options if you want a safe and comfortable trip.

It’s important to note that public transport in South Africa is not the same as public transport in Europe or America. On the whole it tends towards unreliability and is often unsafe. Public transport in Cape Town includes the following:

Trains
Trains (with the exception of luxury tourist trains) are not very safe and the network is limited.

City buses
Select city buses are safe but are often slack about arriving and departing on time.

Taxis
To use a taxi service you’ll phone a taxi company and organise for a car to collect you at a particular time and place. Genuine taxis are the safest (and most expensive) public transport available.

Minibus taxis:
Steer clear of minibus taxis! This is one South African experience you don’t need to have.

Reasonable car rental in Cape Town, on the other hand, is:

• More efficient-you can arrive and depart when it’s convenient for you
• More reliable-you manage your own travels
• Safer-because you’re driving yourself and your family/friends

At first, driving on the left hand side of the road can seem disconcerting. However, visitors usually find the transition much easier than anticipated!

Three benefits of reasonable car rental in Cape Town, South Africa

Reasonable car rental in Cape Town offers a solution to the traveller’s transport “pickle”. Consider these three motivations why:

Car rental is good value for money

Affordable car hire in South Africa is surprisingly easily to get due to a number of competing service providers. An added bonus is that international tourists find the petrol (car fuel) quite cheap. If you choose well, car rental is far more economical than organised tours or other safe, dependable transport over the same distance.

Car rental gives you freedom and convenience

While tourist transport usually works on a strict schedule, renting a car liberates you to manage your own travels. You’re free to alter your travel plans to suit yourself. If you feel like taking an unplanned drive to Hermanus for some whale-watching you can get in your car and go without worrying about prior arrangements.

Car rental takes you further and offers you more

Driving a rental car gives you the opportunity to go places that would otherwise be inaccessible or expensive. Visiting the Cape would be incomplete without a relaxed drive along the captivating Garden Route, or leisurely meandering your way through the mountains and indulging yourself in the beauty of the verdant Cape Winelands.

If autonomy and convenience is what you want for your Cape Town holiday, reasonable car rental in Cape Town is the solution for you!
