Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Waterfront?
Budget car rentals started at AU$39 a day in Waterfront, based on prices within the past seven days. With rates like this, we make it easy to pick up some keys and hit the road for less.
What happens if I need to cancel my Waterfront car reservation?
We realise that plans can change at short notice. That’s why many prepaid reservations offer a refund if you cancel six hours in advance of the collection time. Your cancellation policy should include all the details you need. If you can’t locate the answer there, our Customer Service Portal is always accessible.
What types of cars can I rent in Waterfront?
Just about any type you like! We’ve got an awesome range of home categories, from economy and standard cars to SUVs and luxury premiums. Small, sleek and cheap to rent, minis are the most booked car category in Waterfront. These spritely little rides are a wonderful choice for short journeys around town. Save big on gas as you motor around the busy city streets. And you won’t have to stress about finding a spot to leave your wheels — sneaking into tight car spaces is a dream in a mini!
Where can I go on a road trip from Waterfront?
With your own car, road-tripping around the surrounding areas is a walk in the park. Waterfront is a great place to start, but there’s tons more to keep you busy in the region. Grab the keys to a home, toss your bags in the trunk and check out these other terrific spots:

  • Home to sights and activities galore, Mossel Bay is around 88 kilometres from Waterfront. First stop on the list? Follow the signs to Santos Beach, one of the city’s biggest highlights.
  • Oudtshoorn, around 97 kilometres away, will also show you a good time. Wondering what there is to see? Cango Caves is our first pick.
  • Escape city life at Addo Elephant National Park. Approximately 225 kilometres from Waterfront, this is the place to go to spend time in nature.

Why should I rent a Waterfront car with Expedia?

How do I find the best car rental deals in Waterfront with Expedia?
It’s easy to find an incredible deal with Expedia. Just choose your ride, select your dates and pickup and drop-off points, and compare offers from trusted brands. Save even more when you combine your Waterfront car rental with flight or hotel bookings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Waterfront?
The minimum age to rent a car in Waterfront is 18. An extra fee for young drivers generally applies, so check before booking and factor in possible additional costs. There could also be restrictions on the types of vehicles available to young drivers. For example, some providers will only rent out small and medium-sized cars to less-experienced motorists. Rules may differ between suppliers, so look over the fine print.
What do you need to rent a car in Waterfront?
Any home company you choose will ask for these two things — a current driver’s license and credit card. If you decide to opt out of the supplier’s insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring when it’s time to pick up the keys.
What side of the road do you drive on in Waterfront?
In Waterfront, like the rest of South Africa, you drive on the left-hand side. Go slower to build confidence driving on the opposite side if it’s your first time.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Waterfront?
Yes, and the wonderful news is suppliers often offer lower rates the longer your holiday home term. Browse our long-term car rental deals in Waterfront and drive off with a serious bargain.
Where can I find a Waterfront car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between holiday home companies, so you’ll have to do a little shopping around. Managed to find a Waterfront outlet that does rent to drivers under 25 years of age? That’s great! Just keep in mind that an extra charge often applies to drivers between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each holiday home car you’re looking at will have all the information you need.
