Pros:

Picking up the vehicle was easy and we were treated well. The staff at the pick up area was helpful and friendly.

Cons:

Returning the car was not as smooth as the pick up. The staff members tried to make us sign a paper assuming responsibilities for damage to the front left wheel. We refused to sign because the "damage" they claimed the wheel suffered was barely visible. We felt targeted.

KAYAK

Pros:

Bad initial experience. The car was supposed to carry 5 people and carry 2 suitcases. It was 1.1 litre inderpowered (hyundai?) and barely suitable. The car battery was dead and car hsd benn previously jump started. Needed replacement vehicle. Lost 2days of holiday as a result but new car excllent

Cons:

Avis Strand office at Somersetwest responded excellently in providing replacement car but CT airport should never have allowed the first substandard car to have been issued.

Pros:

I liked walking into a busy office with a long line and walking right up to the preferred customer desk. It was an amazing feeling. Checkin was quick and easy, our car ran smoothly on a long road trip. When we returned it we didn't have to even go inside. We were met outside right away. Great experience.

Cons:

Our car had an awkward luggage cover up that we were constantly battling. A quirk of the Toyota Avanza I suppose.

Jan 2020

KAYAK

Pros:

The staff had to make efforts to explain the extra money they charge...and its very uncofortable to accept the explanation, and unacceptable, once I'd payed for the rental and insurance previously! It was a bad holiday begining... After this experience, I'm checking my VISA account all the time, to verify the expected refund. The drop off was ok.

Cons:

You must change the way of doing business. More clear, transparent and balanced value for money. Ca'nt recomend Hertz! Hope Kayak as some usefull feedback to our total insatisfaction!

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.

Feb 2017

KAYAK

Pros:

Once I got the correct car, was very nice

Cons:

My car wasn't read at time of rental, there was an issue booking through Kayak as a third party booking service. As a result, instead of having an SUV, I was given a base model pick-up. Dollar was very good about changing it out the next day, but only after I had to make several phone calls and be available for an exchange, which impacted the plans for my vacation. Lastly, I have a charge on my credit card that occurred several days after my issue free return, for which I have been unable to get an answer for. Tank was full, no tickets, and no other issues upon return, so I an still waiting to learn why I have an extra charge.

Pros:

The car worked well, and the checkout process was well done. THe people at the counter were extremely patient as I needed to check on Collisions Damage Waiver, etc. with another company. The coverage offered by Kayak at the bottom of the confirmation email was much less expensive, so I definitely recommend taking this if you want coverage.

Cons:

Optional coverage was outrageous. Signage to return the car was poor. It's marked something like Rental Car Shade or something strange like that.

Another driver hit our rental car while in Madrid. Thrifty kept over 500 Euros for the damage until the other driver's insurance. I have been calling and emailing Thrifty Madrid for 2 months and have not yet spoken to a human being, even though the insurance claim was already paid.

KAYAK

Pros:

Pickup and Dropoff was fine. The vehicle was more or less what we expected.

Cons:

I needed some help when I accidentally locked my keys in the truck of the vehicle. I realize this is my fault, but the staff lied and told me someone was en route to assist me. Further they told me I would receive a call from the manager. Nearly two hours after requesting emergency assistance, I received a call wherein I learned that Thrifty in SA does not unlock cars and I would have to do it myself. Thanks! I would have loved to have that information two hours prior. Foreign country, unusual circumstances, unhelpful/rude lying staff. Will not rent here again.

Top tips for renting 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 rental cars at Cape Town Airport for ₪137 or less
  • Book your rental car at Cape Town Airport at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
