How do I find the best car rental deals in Knysna with Expedia?
Getting an amazing deal on your Knysna rental car is a piece of cake with Expedia. Choose your preferred ride, add some details and compare the offers from major suppliers. Why not add hotels and flights to your booking? You'll get access to even bigger savings when you create a vacation package.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Knysna?
Generally, the rules are 18 years and over in Knysna. It's worth noting that most outlets will charge a young driver fee. Check before you choose your ride, as different rules may apply between rental car suppliers. Bear in mind that if you're planning to rent a luxury ride or a large car like a premium SUV, drivers may need to be older than 18.
What do you need to rent a car in Knysna?
Be prepared to present a valid driver's license and a credit card in your name when you get to the rental counter. Prior to pickup, check with your chosen rental company whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to provide proof of insurance.
What side of the road do you drive on in Knysna?
In Knysna, like all of South Africa, motorists drive on the left-hand side of the road. Go slower to build confidence driving on the left if you've never done it before.
What is the cheapest car rental in Knysna?
The two cheapest daily prices offered in Knysna within the past seven days were $22 and $24. Now that's what we'd call a great deal! These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Knysna?
Visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and then book your perfect ride. Whether you're stopping in Knysna or plan to journey beyond, Expedia will help you find a long-term rental at a fabulous rate.
Where can I find a Knysna car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Knysna providers will rent cars to drivers under 25, and others won't. Policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you'll have to do your homework. Also, find out if there are any extra costs. Some places will apply a surcharge to young customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Make sure you read through the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Knysna?
Get your road trip off to a good start by selecting Expedia's collision damage protection. While there are all sorts of insurance, this is one you should have. It provides primary coverage for vandalism, accident damage and theft up to $35,000, as well as 24-hour emergency help. Don't wait until you reach the rental counter to insure your ride. Opt in to collision protection while reserving your Knysna ride with Expedia and save money and time.
Can I drive in Knysna with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in South Africa, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be able to rent a car. Also consider that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll need to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your license and passport. Some added requirements for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger, it might still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of vehicles you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before getting behind the wheel. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or go off-roading with a rental vehicle.
