Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a car from King Shaka Intl. Airport (DUR)?
You can, and there's plenty of choice. After you touch down and collect your luggage, simply walk to the rental car centre on the ground level of the main terminal. Here you can book from fantastic companies like Bidvest, Avis and Hertz. If you want some more options, check out the deals from Woodford and Dollar/Thrifty.
What happens if I need to cancel my oThongathi car reservation?
No need to stress. You should get a total refund if you let us know more than six hours ahead of pickup. Your itinerary contains information about this, as does our Customer Service Portal. Not all bookings result in a refund though, so you may want to scan your rental agreement.

How do I find the best car rental deals in oThongathi with Expedia?
Expedia makes it simple to compare fees, offers and providers, and to check customer ratings. Combine your oThongathi car rental with flight or hotel bookings and you'll make even bigger savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in oThongathi?
OThongathi requires drivers to be at least 18 to be able to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra charge and some restrictions. Most providers impose a young renter fee on top of the car rental rate. This covers the extra risk of damage or accident. While many car categories (like compact and mid-size) are available to young motorists, restrictions generally apply to premium and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in oThongathi?
Before you can hop behind the wheel in oThongathi, you'll need a driver's licence and a credit card that matches the name on your licence. If you decline to take out the rental company's insurance plan, you may also have to show proof of your own coverage. Requirements can vary, so understand the policy terms and conditions before you select a rental supplier.
What side of the road do you drive on in oThongathi?
If you're renting a car in oThongathi or road-tripping around South Africa, prepare to drive on the left. Also, the steering wheel and some controls will be on a different side to what you're used to in the U.S. This may feel a little unfamiliar at first, so drive with extra caution.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in oThongathi?
Yes, and you can find your perfect set of wheels on our long-term car rental deals page. Simply enter your trip dates and we'll list awesome offers from a range of leading suppliers.
Where can I find an oThongathi car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to investigate the age policy of the oThongathi rental providers you're considering. If you're under the age of 25, some outlets will charge additional costs. It's ideal to know this before collecting the vehicle so you can plan your budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own terms and conditions for younger drivers, so be sure to do your research.
