Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Colchester?
Exploring Colchester doesn’t have to drain your savings, with daily car rental prices starting at just AU$75 within the past seven days.
Can I rent a car from Port Elizabeth Airport (PLZ)?
Take your pick of a great range of rental car suppliers not far from the airport. Hertz, Thrifty Car Rental and Europcar are top picks for many travellers. Avis and Dollar are some other quality options.
What happens if I need to cancel my Colchester car reservation?
No need to stress. You should be eligible for a total refund if you let us know more than six hours before the collection time. Your itinerary contains details about this, as does our Customer Service Portal. Not all bookings qualify for a refund though, so it’s a good idea to read through your cancellation policy.
What types of cars can I rent in Colchester?
Crowded city streets and cramped parking spots are no hassle for an economy car — the most popular type of home in Colchester. Slide behind the wheel of one of these and navigate traffic easily. Affordable, reliable and good on gas, these small rides pack a punch. But Colchester can be explored in almost any type of home you like. Compacts, premiums and SUVs are some other options to choose from.
Where can I go on a road trip from Colchester?
Book some wheels, grab the keys and explore the endless attractions of Colchester. But with so much to see in the surrounding areas, don’t let that be the end of the road! Set your sat-nav to some of the other awesome places in the region:

  • You’ll feel the rhythm of bustling city life as soon as you pull into Makhanda. Some 80 kilometres from Colchester, it’s home to a number of excellent spots to explore, like Rhodes University.
  • Around 193 kilometres away, Graaff-Reinet is another city worth adding to your itinerary. Don’t forget to stop by Valley of Desolation while you’re in town.
  • Get some distance between you and the city’s hustle and bustle at Santos Beach. Approximately 338 kilometres from Colchester, it’s a wonderful place to hang out in nature.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Colchester with Expedia?
Check out customer ratings, choose your car type and compare prices from the most popular providers. Expedia makes it easy to pick up the best deal on your home wheels. Combine your Colchester car rental with hotel or flight bookings and cruise off with extra savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Colchester?
If you’re 18 and over, you can rent a vehicle in Colchester. Be aware that most home suppliers will charge an additional fee if you’re a young driver, which helps cover the higher accident risk involved. Also, young drivers usually aren’t permitted to rent larger vehicles and luxury cars. Take note of the terms and conditions before booking so there are no surprises when you collect the keys.
What do you need to rent a car in Colchester?
Generally, you’ll need a valid driver’s license and a credit card in the same name when collecting your vehicle. You may also need your own proof of coverage if you choose to opt out of the company’s insurance policy. These requirements often differ between home companies, so it’s always a good idea to read the fine print.
What side of the road do you drive on in Colchester?
In Colchester, like the rest of South Africa, you drive on the left-hand side of the road. Take it slow at first and build confidence driving on the opposite side if you’ve never done it before.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Colchester?
You can. We partner with quality companies that offer long-term holiday homes for all types of cars. Book one of our long-term car rental deals and discover every nook and cranny of Colchester — or beyond!
Where can I find a Colchester car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between holiday home suppliers, so you’ll have to do some research. Found a Colchester outlet that does rent to drivers under 25 years of age? Terrific news! Just take note that an extra charge often applies to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The fine print of each holiday home car you’re interested in should have all the details you need.
