Frequently asked questions

How do I find the best deals on a Cape Town Dollar car rental?

CarRentals.com always tries to get you the best price, no matter when you reserve your car. But getting ahead of time can help keep spending low. Be sure to not add an additional driver and check the mileage policy to avoid any unexpected fees.

What should I have with me when I get my car in Cape Town?

You'll need to carry with you credit card, as well as your driver's license.

What's Cape Town's minimum age to rent a car?

Dollar's minimum age to rent a car in Cape Town is 21. Some rentals, especially higher category vehicles (luxury, SUVs, etc.), may have an additional fee if you are under 25. Make sure to review Dollar's policies to know what the total cost is before you book.

Is there a particular car I should get for my trip to Cape Town?

That all depends on your needs and what you'll be doing when you visit Cape Town. Compact or economy automobiles are great for short drives and are easier to park. If you are traveling with colleagues or family, then a sedan or SUV is going to have enough room for all of you and be a more comfortable ride on longer trips. Those looking for a little extravagance on their Cape Town trip can choose the premium category for a car like a Cadillac or Audi or similar.

Do I need insurance when I rent a car in South Africa?

In South Africa you do need to have insurance before you rent a car. Many of the major credit card issuers (Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover) usually provide some coverage. However, many of them have limitations, such as not covering large vehicles, like trucks or SUVs. It is best to find out by calling your credit card company to find out what kind of coverage is offered before you head to Cape Town. Otherwise, as a U.S. citizen, you can purchase Collision Damage Coverage through CarRentals.com at checkout.

Does Dollar require a deposit at the time of booking my rental car?

Dollar does require a deposit when you reserve your rental car. Dollar will block the deposit on your credit once you book your car for your trip to Cape Town. Please be aware that the deposit can vary greatly depending on the make and model of the vehicle.

What is the fuel policy on my Dollar car rental?

At CarRentals.com, we advise a full tank policy. You receive the vehicle with full tank, and you should bring it back it filled up. If you want to keep your expenses lower, it is best to fill up your tank before you bring your car back to Dollar. Stations close to airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.

Do I need unlimited miles when I rent a car in Cape Town?

Cape Town certainly has its charms, but you may want to hit the road again after you've checked off all the activities in Cape Town.

Does Cape Town Dollar offer one-way car rentals?

Dollar usually offers one-way rentals. You may find it more convenient to drop off your rental car at a different Dollar. Don't forget there may be an additional fee when you opt for one-way.
