Cheap Car Hire Durban South Africa
Welcome to Durban: South Africa’s coastal playground!
Welcome to Durban, a city with gorgeous Indian Ocean beaches that lies at the heart of the KwaZulu-Natal province. Known for its golden sands, warm sparkling waters, and a unique fusion of cultures, Durban is a city that offers an irresistible mix of relaxation, history, and adventure. Whether you're here to surf the famous waves of North Beach, immerse yourself in the vibrant Zulu culture, or enjoy the city’s burgeoning foodie scene, Durban has something for everyone. Once you’ve touched down at Durban’s King Shaka International Airport (DUR), it’s easy to pick up your pre-booked hire car - then your South African adventure can begin.
Durban is a fantastic place to explore by car and you’ll have the freedom to soak up everything this lively city has to offer—from the bustling beachfront promenade to the tranquillity of the lush Valley of a Thousand Hills. South Africa’s well-maintained highways make for a smooth ride across the country, offering breathtaking scenery along the way. Plus, if you're feeling adventurous, you can consider embarking on an epic road trip to Johannesburg or the waterfront city of Cape Town with its fine galleries, cafes and eateries?
The car hire desks at Durban International Airport are conveniently located, ensuring a hassle-free experience. To make the most of your Durban car hire experience, always book in advance: Whether you’re flying into Durban, Johannesburg International Airport or Cape Town International, it’s always smart to book ahead—especially during peak seasons like December and school holidays. If you're planning to stick to driving in the city centre and the beachfront, a compact car is ideal. It's perfect for zipping around Durban’s urban streets, and parking is a breeze near hotspots like uShaka Marine World and Moses Mabhida Stadium. For exploring further afield—perhaps a scenic drive through the Midlands Meander or a journey into the Drakensberg Mountains—a mid-sized SUV or sedan would be more comfortable for those longer treks. And if you’re really up for an adventure, your hire car will be your ticket to an epic road trip to the buzzing energy and fascinating cultural attractions of Johannesburg or even to the pretty gardens and Jacaranda-lined streets of Pretoria, South Africa’s fine capital city. The highways are smooth, the landscapes are stunning, and you’ll experience the full diversity of South Africa’s countryside.
Driving in Durban
South Africans drive on the left-hand side of the road, so if you're coming from a right-hand driving country, take time to adjust before leaving the airport car park. Durban’s main roads, like the N2 and M4, are well-maintained, and signage is easy to follow. Traffic can get a bit heavy during peak times, especially along the beachfront, but drivers are generally relaxed and courteous. Parking is usually easy to find in Durban, particularly around tourist attractions. Popular spots like the Golden Mile often have street parking or parking lots, and you’ll often find parking attendants to help you out for a small tip. If you’ve not driven in Durban before, use a GPS or a navigation app to help get around. This will make your drive more enjoyable as you discover hidden gems in the city and beyond. From the excitement of Durban’s beachfront to the tranquillity of the nearby game reserves, your adventure awaits. Whether you're planning to journey north to Johannesburg or down to Cape Town, the open road is yours. Soak up the sights, smells, and sounds of South Africa as you embark on the trip of a lifetime! Enjoy the ride!
