Top tips for renting a car from Europcar in Cape Town

Friendly efficient front desk. Car was clean, no problems. Actually parked where it was supposed to be!. Return of vehicle was seamless. Everything excellent. Did not like the exorbitant deposit on my credit card though, almost twice the total value of the 2 week rent?Reviewed 2025 Mar 13
