Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Western Cape car reservation?
We know that having the freedom to change your plans is important. That’s why the majority of reservations provide a full refund if you cancel at least six hours in advance of the scheduled collection time. It’s a good idea to read the policy though because there are some exclusions. If you can’t find the answer there, make your way to our Customer Service Portal.

Just about any type you like! We’ve got an awesome range of rental categories, from economy and standard cars to SUVs and luxury premiums. Small, sleek and cost-efficient, minis are the most booked car category in Western Cape. These zippy rides are a great option for short trips around town.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Western Cape?
The minimum age is 18. But there are several age-related requirements you should bear in mind before locking in your wheels in Western Cape. If you’re a younger motorist, most rental providers will charge an extra fee and limit the types of vehicles you can rent. The exact surcharge, and which ages it applies to, varies between suppliers. Take a moment to compare the rules.
What do you need to rent a car in Western Cape?
While booking conditions can differ between rental car outlets in Western Cape, the two key things you’ll need are a valid driver’s license and a credit card in the same name. You don’t need to take out insurance with your rental company. However, proof of alternative coverage may be necessary.
Can I drive in Western Cape with my U.S. Driver's license?
You can get behind the wheel in Western Cape with your U.S. Driver’s license. But if you prefer to have peace of mind, apply for an International Driving Permit before heading off. It’s an additional useful form of identification to have in your wallet.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Western Cape?
You can, and the wonderful news is suppliers often offer lower prices the longer your rental term. Discover our long-term car rental deals in Western Cape and score a real bargain.
Where can I find a Western Cape car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you’re a young driver hoping to rent a vehicle in Western Cape, check the policies of the rental companies you’re interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25, some may not. Surcharges may apply if you’re aged between 21 and 24. To avoid any surprise fees and charges on pickup, make sure you know what those charges are if they apply to you.
