Cape Town Car Hire under R250 a Day

A summer holiday in Cape Town has been on your to do list for quite a while. You’ve scrimped and saved for the expensive long haul air fare that will wing you away from the pressures of work and the rotten winter weather of Europe or the States.

With return flights between Cape Town and the northern climes costing anything between R11 000 and R20 000, it’s time to budget for the rest of the trip.

Budget Lodgings 

Comfortable lodgings at inexpensive bed & breakfasts and budget hotels take care of the accommodation, while store bought self catering food is an affordable dining alternative.

Great outdoor view sites around the peninsula provide natural al fresco ‘restaurants’ where it’s not unusual to spy dolphins, whales, great white sharks and fur seals frolicking in the bays and inlets of the Indian and Atlantic oceans.

Getting Around

Getting around the spectacular coastal city and surrounds, however, is rather more of a challenge. Within the confines of the city bowl there’s public buses, unique Cape Rikkis and the perennial power of the pedestrian.

Further afield are the gleaming white beaches, harbour taverns and pubs, southern suburbs winelands and the ‘fairest Cape in the all the World’ - Cape Point and its wily baboons.

Car Rental Cape Town an Essential  

To truly appreciate the remote beauty of the Cape Peninsula, the curvaceous Table Mountain chain, the hot and heaving nightlife and the neighbouring wine producing areas of the Boland, it’s essential to have a rental car at your disposal.

Fortunately, select Cape Town car hire companies provide reliable car hire at rock bottom prices. A cool Chevy Spark - without all the frills and bells - can comfortably accommodate four adults and is going for under R245 per day – that’s £19.12, $30.32 or €22.36 per day at current exchange rates!!

Hire the car for 14 days or more and the daily rate plunges to between R238 and R228 per day or in foreign currency rates between £18.55, 29.45 or €20.80 and £17.78, $28.21 or €20.80 per day!

Included in the standard cover hire rate are 300 free kilometres per day, while the excess payable is a manageable R5000 that is refunded into your credit card account once the classy Chevy Spark is returned in mint condition!

An added benefit is the Spark is part of a fleet of Cape Town airport car hire, so once you’ve landed at Cape Town International Airport and cleared customs; it’s simply a matter of loading all the kit into the Chevrolet Spark and whizzing away to one of the most desirable travel destinations on the planet.
