Be sure to carry with you credit card, as well as your driver's license.

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

That all depends on your needs and what activities you want to do in Cape Town. Compact or economy cars are great for short drives and are easier to park. If you are traveling with family or friends, then a mid-size vehicle or SUV is going to have enough room for all of you and be a more comfortable ride. Those looking for a bit of extravagance on their Cape Town vacation can choose a higher-end model like a Mercedes C-Class or Cadillac XTS or similar.

Is insurance required when you rent a car in South Africa?

You are required to have insurance before you rent from Hertz in South Africa. Although many of the major card issuers, like MasterCard or Visa, offer some coverage, there are usually restrictions. For example, you may not be covered if you book a larger or luxury vehicle. Make sure to check credit card issuer's policy before you decide. Additionally, as a U.S. citizen, you can also add on Collision Damage Coverage through CarRentals.com at checkout.

Do I have to return my Hertz rental with a full tank?

At CarRentals.com, we suggest a full to full policy. You pick up your Hertz rental with full tank, and you should bring it back it with a full tank of gas. To avoid any added expenses, it is best to fill up your tank before you bring your car back to Hertz.

Why should I get unlimited miles?

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