Pros:
NothingCons:
I had a confirmed email saying the rental was booked, when I flew in after 24 hours of travel Thrifty tells me they didn’t have a car for me. I will never use Kayak for a car rental again. Ever. It’s a busy time of the year, no one else had cars available. Imagine flying in to a town and being left stranded at the airport. This will happen to you if you use Kayak and Thifty.2.0 Poor

When to book a car hire in Port Elizabeth
Car hire insurance in Port Elizabeth
Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) & Theft Protection Waiver
Some Port Elizabeth car providers already include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection Waiver into the hire price but not all of them. We recommend always be aware of your coverage when hiring a car in Port Elizabeth.
Deductible
Keep in mind that car hire insurances often have a deductible clause, which is the amount you’ll have to pay if something happens during the time of your hire. If you want to avoid unwanted surprises, you should consider adding a no-deductible option to your Port Elizabeth car hire.
Top tips for hiring a car in Port Elizabeth
- Port Elizabeth is a major maritime port as well as one of South Africa’s largest cities by population. With car hire in Port Elizabeth you have unlimited mobility and convenience to explore this part of the Eastern Cape and the outstanding beaches that have made the city a premier tourist destination around the world. A roadtrip to Cape Town takes you west on the N2 along 465 miles of coastline and provides plenty of opportunities to discover other beaches along the way.
- When flying into Port Elizabeth Airport (PLZ), pick up car hire in Port Elizabeth and save the bother of looking for a vehicle after you arrive in the city. There’s a good list of local and international providers such as Hertz, Avis and Woodford present at the airport. There are signs posted in the main terminal directing you to the car hire centre outside the building, or you can ask for assistance at the nearest information desk.
- Port Elizabeth is legendary as a city where getting around by car is quite easy, so if there is traffic congestion during morning or evening rush hours it shouldn’t last very long. Anticipate heavy pedestrian and cycle traffic in Port Elizabeth Central, which is the administrative and cultural heart of the city. The city is a major tourist destination for locals and foreigners alike, with the period from November to February witnessing marked increases in overall traffic, especially in the city centre and coastal beach districts.
- The Settlers Highway interchange with National Road 2 and the M4 along the eastern flank of the city can present traffic interruptions from 07:00 to 08:00 and again from 19:00 to 20:00. Inbound and outbound traffic flow along the major M4 motorway is also susceptible to slow-downs inbound and outbound during these times, whereas the NR2/R102/752 exchange near More Grove district can be troublesome westbound. Expect heavy pedestrian, cycle and vehicular activity in central districts from 13:00 to 16:00, which is a key period for shopping, lunch and sightseeing, particularly during the tourist season.
