The minimum age to rent a car in Cape Town is 21. A young driver surcharge generally applies, so check before you book and factor in possible additional costs. There may also be restrictions on the sorts of cars that can be rented by young drivers. For example, some companies will only rent out small to medium-sized cars to young motorists. Rules may differ between suppliers, so read the fine print carefully.

You’ll need to present a valid driver’s license and a credit card in your name when you get to the home counter. Prior to the pickup date, check with your home supplier whether anything else is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of insurance.

In Cape Town and across South Africa, motorists drive on the left-hand side. This alone can be daunting, but the steering wheel and other controls are also on the opposite side to what you’re used to. To stay safe behind the wheel, take things slower and allow extra time to get from A to B.
