Cheap Car Hire in Cape Town
Cape Town car hire makes great sense, not so much for exploring the city, but rather for trips out to the many and varied areas surrounding the city.
Whether you hire a car for a couple of days, or for the whole of your stay, you will have the option to explore two major areas outside Cape Town. Firstly, you can drive around the Cape Peninsula; to Boulders Beach, with its famed penguin colony; to the Cape of Good Hope, to enjoy the stunning natural habitat of baboons and ostriches; or to enjoy the stunning views of Chapman's Peak, where you drive up and look out over Hout Bay, experiencing one of the most scenic drives of the world. Car rental can also take you to the Cape Winelands, and its major towns of Franschhoek, Paarl, and Stellenbosch, each of which has a unique Cape Wineland feel. And you can, obviously, test the wines, though perhaps not if you are driving! Car hire in Cape Town is slightly complicated in that you can only pay for fuel in cash, or using a special 'garage' card as issued by a South African bank.
