Planning a trip to Cape Town? Whether you’re here for a short break or a long stay, you’re in for a treat in this cosmopolitan and buzzing city. There’s an unbeatable combination of stunning natural beauty, world-class attractions, and vibrant culture in Cape Town, from the iconic Table Mountain to the bustling cafes, galleries and eateries at the V&A Waterfront. And what’s the best way to explore this incredible city and beyond? By car, of course! Upon arriving at Cape Town International Airport (CPT), you can pick up your rental and start your thrilling South African adventure. Renting a car allows you to discover the city and its surroundings at your own pace, and also opens up the possibility of road trip adventure to other fantastic destinations like the sophisticated coastal city of Durban on the Indian Ocean, Johannesburg’s cultural attractions and the jacaranda-lined avenues of capital Pretoria. You’ll find a range of car hire options to suit your travel needs at Cape Town International Airport. If you’re planning to stay in the city, a compact car is perfect for navigating the streets and parking in busy areas like the V&A Waterfront. It’s also great for taking scenic drives along the Atlantic Seaboard, with stops at Camps Bay and Clifton beaches. However, if your plans include venturing out to the Cape Winelands or tackling the winding roads of Chapman’s Peak Drive, consider an SUV for extra comfort and space. An SUV also comes in handy if you’re heading up the Garden Route or down to Cape Point, where the panoramic views and diverse wildlife make it well worth the drive.
