Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my South Africa car reservation?
No problems! If you cancel your prepaid booking at least six hours before pickup, you're likely to receive a complete refund. You'll want to scan your cancellation policy as there are some exceptions. Visit our Customer Service Portal if you still have queries.
How do I find the best car rental deals in South Africa with Expedia?
Check ratings and reviews, choose your preferred car type and compare offers from the most popular brands. Expedia makes it a cinch to score the best deal on your rental wheels. Combine your South Africa car rental with flight or hotel bookings and cruise off with even bigger savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in South Africa?
In South Africa, the rule is 18 years and over. Most outlets will charge additional fees for young drivers, which can differ based on the rental location. Rental policies for young drivers may restrict certain vehicles, such as premium SUVs, and require comprehensive insurance. Be sure to read the fine print before choosing your wheels.
What do you need to rent a car in South Africa?
Before you can take the wheel in South Africa, you'll need a valid driver's license and a credit card that matches the name on your license. If you prefer not to take out the rental company's insurance policy, you may also have to provide proof of your own coverage. Rules may vary, so read the policy terms and conditions before you select a rental supplier.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in South Africa?
Yes, and the great news is providers often offer lower prices the longer you rent. Look through our long-term car rental deals in South Africa and cruise off with an impressive bargain.
Where can I find a South Africa car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the rental companies located in South Africa. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found a place that does cater to drivers under 25, keep in mind that extra costs may apply. Conduct some research into any extra charges before picking up the keys to your vehicle.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in South Africa?
Make a safe start to your road trip by selecting Expedia's collision protection. While there are all sorts of insurance, this is one you should have. It provides primary coverage for theft, vandalism and collision damage up to $35,000, as well as 24-hour emergency assistance. Don't wait until you reach the rental desk to insure your wheels. Opt in to collision protection while reserving your South Africa ride with Expedia and save money and time.
