Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a car from Cape Town Intl. Airport (CPT)?
Absolutely. Once you arrive at Cape Town Intl. Airport (CPT), you'll find the rental companies in front of the Transport Plaza and Central Terminal Building. Book the right ride with Dollar/Thrifty, Tempest Car Hire or First Car Rental. Avis and Capital are also worth looking into.
What happens if I need to cancel my Strand car reservation?
We know that flexibility is important. That's why many prepaid rentals give a complete refund if you cancel a minimum of six hours before collecting the car. It's still good to check the cancellation policy though as there are some exemptions. If you can't see any details there, make your way to our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Strand?
Premium, full-size, standard, compact ... You name it, we'll probably have it! But intermediate is the most booked rental category in Strand. These cars are roomy and comfortable compared to compact and economy rides. While an intermediate is smaller than a full-size, you'll still have enough storage space and legroom. Whether you're sticking around Strand or venturing beyond, you'll be doing it in style.
Where can I go on a road trip from Strand?
Strand has plenty to keep you busy, but don't restrict yourself to only one place. Grab a set of wheels and head off to discover what else awaits in the wider region. Here are a few places to choose from:

  • You'll discover Golden Valley Casino and countless other amazing attractions in Worcester. From Strand, it's roughly 72 kilometres away.
  • Your next stop? It has to be Wellington, which is around 56 kilometres away. Doolhof Wine Estate is one local hot spot you really shouldn't miss.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Strand?
Drivers 21 and above can get on the road in Strand in a rental vehicle. If you're a young renter, a daily surcharge applies. You'll usually have fewer car categories to pick from, such as compact and mid-size, and may also be required to buy inclusive insurance. Be sure to enter the correct age of the primary driver when booking to find out if any restrictions apply.
What do you need to rent a car in Strand?
While terms and conditions can differ between rental car outlets, generally the essentials are a valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. You don't need to take out insurance with your rental company. However, proof of alternative coverage may be required.
What side of the road do you drive on in Strand?
In Strand, as with all of South Africa, motorists drive on the left-hand side of the road. Take it slow at first and build confidence driving on the left if you've never done it before.

Yes. We partner with trusted companies that offer weekly and monthly rentals for a wide range of cars. Take a look at our long-term car rental deals and explore every nook and cranny of Strand — or far beyond!
Where can I find a Strand car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver hoping to book a rental in Strand, it'd be wise to check the terms and conditions of the car rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25, some may not. There may be additional fees if you're aged between 21 and 24. To avoid any unpleasant surprises at the rental desk, make sure you know exactly what to expect.
