Answers to Frequently Asked Questions
When it comes to car rental costs, Cape Town airport is generally competitive. The price normally depends on several factors, including the time of year, the length of your trip, and the sort of vehicle you wish to rent.
There is always an increase in demand for automobile rentals in Cape Town airport during the summer months, which drives up the prices. During the off-season, particularly the winter, the prices are significantly lower. The duration of your rental also affects the total price. Typically, renting a vehicle for a longer period of time results in a lower daily rate, thus a five-day rental may cost only somewhat more than a three-day rental. If possible, consider spending at least a week exploring Cape Town airport.
General insurance categories in Cape Town airport:
- Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) - It limits the customer's liability throughout the rental time and sets the maximum damage payment.
- Theft Protection (TP): Reduces your obligation to the vehicle's deductible/excess if your car is stolen (proof required are a police report and the car keys).
- Third Party Liability (TPL) covers material and intangible losses to other people's vehicles, property, and medical expenditures.
Purchase insurance while booking your car:
When traveling, renting a car is nearly always a good decision because it allows you to see sites at your own pace and on your own schedule. It's always nice to be able to avoid crowded bus or rail times and go in the early morning or late at night if it suits you better.
It depends on the number of passengers and the amount of luggage each person is carrying. However, the following factors to think about before vacationing in Cape Town airport:
Size: Our major suggestion is to choose a car that is not excessively wide. There are some tiny streets when you are driving through old towns or historical villages. It will be less stressful in a narrower automobile. Toyota Aygo is the most well-liked model among economy classes in Cape Town airport. From EUROPCAR the daily rate for this vehicle begins at 13$.
Power: Any size car will be able to travel the entire country. However, if you choose an engine that is not the smallest, it will be more comfortable in the highlands.
The most likely model is displayed on both the search result page and on your voucher. Despite this, the automobile class is always reserved at all rental car firms because doing so is required by international rules regulating car rentals. When you get to the office, you'll be given the opportunity to select the make and model of the car you want to drive. The following is an explanation of the many classifications of cars:
On the other hand, there are some circumstances in which you will be able to reserve a specific model. In the event that such a feature can be selected, a distinct notation will be displayed next to the automobile in the list of search results.
When you pick up the vehicle, the same card must be used to guarantee the rental agreement. There are two card kinds we accept:
- We will accept a credit card as a guarantee.
- We will accept a debit card if purchase our Platinum Insurance plan for the duration of your rental period.
Just bear in mind that the cardholder/renter and any additional drivers must sign the rental agreement in person at the time of pick-up.
