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 €22 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

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.

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.
