KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in George
- When you choose cheap car rentals in George, you will find it to be the logical solution when getting around this Western Cape city of South Africa. South Africa does not have the most sophisticated public transportation system for handling the type of travel you might want whilst visiting George. Known for being part of the famous Garden Route, you can enjoy scenic drives that stretch for miles. The city of George is based at the foot of the stunning Outeniqua Mountains and surrounded by incredible rivers, forests, stretches of wild flowers and farmlands, making for scenic drives whether you choose to head to the coast or further inland.
- When you land at George Airport you will be travelling domestically within South Africa. The airport is small but functional and when it comes to car hire companies you can find a fair share of global names to take care of your driving needs. Look out for Bidvest, Hertz, Tempest Car Hire, Thrifty, First Car Rental and SIXT.
- Driving around George will be pure joy. The roads are well-maintained for the most part and signs are in English around the area. The small city has an easy-to-understand system of streets and traffic lights, and the highways that stretch beyond the city are in great shape. Traffic cameras are on all the highways, so speeding would be ill-advised. Remain buckled up whilst driving and refrain from mobile use as these are two easy-to-spot infringements that will cost you an instant fine. In South Africa, the blood-alcohol limit for drivers is 0.05%, but it is in the process of complete eradication. Always check with your local car hire company for any changes in road rules before embarking on long trips.
- Cheap car rentals in George should not lead to many issues as the city is small and doesn’t even present too much of a peak-hour rush. One of the major driving gripes that tourists experience when driving in South African cities is the reckless nature of the minivan taxi drivers. It is not uncommon to find them cutting into traffic with no indication, overtaking on blind corners and disrupting traffic with illegal stops. Give minivans a wide birth and you shouldn’t have an issue with them. The weather in George can present heavy winds if you are driving at high altitudes and occasionally goats and sheep will stray onto the highways. Sometimes you may even spot a large local rodent known as a dassie, which likes to roam the hills and pop out and greet drivers.
- Book your rental car in George at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Mini rental cars in George are around 22% cheaper than other car types, on average

Cons:
The only issue was with the car. The radio display was too bright and could not be dimmed, making it difficult to drive at night (had to cover the display by holding something over it).5.6 Fair

Pros:
The car. And the competence of staff when you were working with those that were knowledgeable.Cons:
At the time I picked up the car in George, South Africa, I specifically discussed with the agent that I did not need insurance as I had already bought it independently. And I did not sign a contract that included insurance. When I returned the car at Cape Town I. Airport, there was an attempt to charge me for insurance when I went into the office to get an invoice of my charges. There was an initial claim that they had to get George to approve removing the insurance but could not get anyone to answer there. Even the manager kept insisting that George would have to approve removing the charge. Finally a knowledgeable agent stepped in and noted that my contract had no signing for insurance and she knew how to remove the charge. None of this problem should have ever occurred, and I was only saved from a charge because I went in to ask for an invoice. I had been advised to do this by a friend who also told me that the rental car staff had recommended that you always do this in South Africa.1.9 Poor
