Cape Town Car Rental Mini Guide

Cape Town is a vibrant city in an amazing setting. Nestling at the foot of the iconic Table Mountain you will not know whether to stay in the city, head out into the countryside that surrounds the Cape with your prebooked rental car or drive out to the vineyards of Stellenbosch, Paarl and Constantia for wine tasting.

A hire car can also be collected from Cape Town International Airport which is only twelve miles from the city centre and is the second highest amount of traffic in the country. The route between there and Johannesburg is one of the busiest domestic routes in the world.
