Top tips for hiring a car at Cape Town Airport

  • Cape Town International Airport (CPT) is the second busiest airport in South Africa and is the main airport in the Western Province. Cape Town Intl Airport is located just outside the city of Cape Town, to get into the city centre you can take the N2, which is right next to the airport. Car hire at Cape Town Intl Airport is a highly popular form of transport all year round, so always book your car hire in advance.
  • At Cape Town Intl Airport it is best to rent a car, especially if you are planning to travel within the city or across the country. Many types of public transport are available, but hiring a car allows for greater freedom, particularly since Cape Town is a very large city. If you are looking for a road trip, you can take the N2 in the other direction and explore the beauty of the garden route.
  • Car hire at Cape Town Intl Airport can be found either in the main terminal or just outside the main airport buildings. If your car hire company is not located in the terminal building there is a shuttle bus, that comes at regular intervals. Often the car hire companies that are not in the airport terminal have better deals, so don’t count them out because they take a little longer to get to.
  • Most car hires at Cape Town Intl Airport use manual transmission, some car rental companies may offer automatic cars, but it is best to check before you arrive. Many car hire companies also offer additional services or items, such as a seat for a baby or toddler or additional insurance. A GPS is another useful service many car hire companies offer. It is always best to ask your car hire company what extra services or items they offer, as this may differ between car hire companies.
  • 25% of our users found a car hire at Cape Town Airport for AED 85 or less
  • Book your car hire at Cape Town Airport at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

The pick-up was okay. They wanted to give us a car we had not booked (a sedan and not a small SUV), and we had to wait for the correct car. The staff was super helpful and the drop-off in Port Elizabeth was excellent, quick and painless.

Alamo was great, the email I received from Kayak was not so good. It stated “Alamo serviced by Europcar” this is incorrect, it should be Enterprise. That will confuse a lot of first time visitors to Cape Town Airport

When picking up I fave the agent a voucher for the rental but I charged a 2nd time. I paid for full coverage insurance, my hubcaps got stolen and I have just received an invoice for the cost of replacing the hubcaps. This is not what I expected having paid the insurance premium. Will never rent from Woodford again. A rental that should have cost just over $300 is now costing me over $1000.

Pros:

The staff had to make efforts to explain the extra money they charge...and its very uncofortable to accept the explanation, and unacceptable, once I'd payed for the rental and insurance previously! It was a bad holiday begining... After this experience, I'm checking my VISA account all the time, to verify the expected refund. The drop off was ok.

Cons:

You must change the way of doing business. More clear, transparent and balanced value for money. Ca'nt recomend Hertz! Hope Kayak as some usefull feedback to our total insatisfaction!

On collection and drop off of the vehicle I took a video of the entire car just to protect me against fraudulent damage claims made to the vehicle. After drop off I had an email stating that I had damaged the car. I checked my videos that I took on collection and the damage was there before they handed the car over to me in the beginning. I’m currently in the process of perusing this fraudulent claim made by WOODFORD CAR RENTAL in Cape Town.

There is no dollar rental car in Cape Town, they were sold to Thrifty. Thrifty will not honor your reservation and will try to up-sale you a rental, charging you double. It took me two days and many hours of frustrating phone calls, I finally booked a car with Europcar. I repeat do not use Dollar rental car in Cape Town as they do not exist.

What could have been better - the rental car broke down on the highway & roadside assistance took 2 hours to get a tow truck to us. What did I like - the roadside assistance support rep was very helpful & a replacement car was delivered to us a few hours after the first one broke down.
