Where to rent a small car in Cape Town? Your agency recommendations
Tollebp · 2025-08-23
Hi there,
It’s quite urgent—we land in Cape Town on September 26th and need to rent a small car for 6 weeks. The reviews we’re reading for just about any agency are terrible. So I’m really hoping you can share your experiences to help us make the least bad choice.
I’m counting on you to help with this super tough decision!

Hi
I hadn’t read the PM
I confirm
Aroundaboutcars is a South African broker
Three times very good
The most comprehensive insurance seems like a good choice
You need a credit card (not debit) on site
It’s an Anglo-Saxon subtlety
Let me know if they’re still okay?

Thanks for your reply, but the agency you’re suggesting isn’t listed with Booking, which covers the deposit in case of any issues, so we’re hesitant. But if we end up going with them, I’ll get back to you.
Have a great day.

And Drive South Africa?
Having said that, I’ve also dealt with Hertz and Europcar.
And I didn’t have any issues.
