What happens if I need to cancel my Durban car reservation?
We appreciate that having a bit of wiggle room is important. That's why most prepaid reservations offer a complete refund if you notify us a minimum of six hours in advance of collecting the car. It's still good to scan your policy though as there are some exclusions. If the info isn't there, head to our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Durban?
Good for short trips and navigating tight car spaces, minis are the most in-demand car type in Durban. With superb fuel economy, you'll save on gas as you cruise around the busy city streets. These pint-sized rides aren't the only home options available though. Luxury, standard, compact ... You name it, chances are we've got it.
Where can I go on a road trip from Durban?
With your own set of wheels, cruising around the surrounding areas is a breeze. Durban is an obvious place to start, but there's plenty more to keep you on the move in the region. Grab the keys to a home, throw your luggage in the trunk and check out these other fantastic spots:

  • Boasting attractions and activities galore, Pietermaritzburg is about 72 kilometres from Durban. First stop on the list? Make your way to Pietermaritzburg City Hall, one of this city's highlights.
  • Another destination that's a favourite with travellers is Richards Bay, around 153 kilometres away. Enseleni Nature Reserve is just one of many reasons why people love visiting here.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Durban?
Durban rules state drivers must be at least 18 to rent a car. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra charge and stricter home conditions. Most companies impose a daily young renter fee in addition to the normal car rental rate. This helps cover the higher risk of accident or damage. While many car categories (like compact and mid-size) are available to young drivers, restrictions generally apply to luxury cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Durban?
You'll need to present a valid driver's license and a credit card in your name at the home counter. Before pickup, check with your selected home company whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to provide proof of insurance.
What side of the road do you drive on in Durban?
In Durban, you'll be driving on the left-hand side of the road. This obviously differs from driving in the States, so be careful and pay extra attention when you're at the steering wheel.

Durban has had some very happy holiday home car drivers lately. The cheapest daily rates recorded within the past seven days were AU$40 and AU$49.

Where can I find a Durban car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver hoping to rent a vehicle in Durban, 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 costs if you're aged between 21 and 24. To escape any unwanted surprises at the holiday home desk, make sure you know what those charges are if they apply to you.
