Cars
Car rental agencies are located at the airport and also in the city centre of Cape Town. Well known car rental agencies, such as Hertz, Avis, Europcar etc are present in every major city, including Cape Town. The prices differ significantly and bookings
made far in advance are often cheaper. Before signing a car rental contract you should always read the small print very carefully and make sure you understand the terms and conditions, especially as there is no compulsory insurance in South Africa and some providers may try to shift the damage or service costs to the customer in the event of an accident.

Car Rental Buy Back Options are excellent deals if you are in South Africa for a long time and want to drive further distances. It’s a wonderful alternative to long term car hire and works on the principle that you buy a clean, reliable car for the duration of your stay in South Africa, with the guarantee that the company will buy it back from you just before you leave. The buy back price is predetermined when you buy the car, and is dependant on the duration of use and year model of the car.

Used cars are up to three times more expensive in Cape Town than in Europe or America. The advantage of buying a car through a dealer rather than privately is that you can mostly pay by credit card, you can ask them to roadworthy and register the car and a guarantee might be given. If you buy a car privately you might find a good bargain, however you as the buyer are then responsible for the registration and insurance of the car. A circular sticker on the windshield indicates the annual licence, always check that this is valid and up to date. Registration normally requires a new roadworthy, you should make sure that the seller obtains the roadworthy before you pay as this way you can make sure there are no major hidden defects.
