Car rental in South Africa
With a car rental in South Africa, you have all the ingredients for a spectacular vacation. It promises to be a journey full of highlights. In search of the Big Five during a safari, drive through the impressive nature and enjoy a delicious African braai. Leave the rest of the world behind and discover what makes South Africa special. Inspiring people, beautiful nature parks and bustling Cape Town; South Africa is the world in one country.
One-way with the rental car
A good way to see a lot of the country is to drive through it. However, the distances in South Africa are long, so it is not always convenient to drive back to the pick-up location. At RNTaCar we have a large network and many locations. You can save time by returning the rental car at a different location. A well-known and popular one-way is the Garden Route, where the car is picked up in Port Elisabeth and returned in Cape Town.

Driving in South Africa
Public transport in South Africa is not always reliable, does not reach all areas of the country, and takes a lot of time. When renting a car in South Africa, you have everything under control. Whether you drive a fixed or flexible route, the advice is to estimate how long the distances are and to ensure that you arrive before dark.
