Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my East Cape car reservation?
We get that things can change unexpectedly. That's why the majority of reservations offer a total refund if you cancel six hours prior to the collection time. Your rental agreement should contain all the details you need. If you can't see the answer there, our Customer Service Portal is here to help.
What types of cars can I rent in East Cape?
Not too small yet not too big, compact vehicles are the first choice for many rental customers in East Cape. With superb mileage and easy parking and manoeuvrability, they're well-suited to navigating the city. A compact offers slightly more space than an economy vehicle, so you can get around in a little extra comfort and style. Prefer something bigger?

Find out what age range the young renter fee applies to, and the cost, before booking your ride. Outlets also restrict the types of cars young drivers can rent. Higher age limits apply for large vehicles like premium SUVs and luxury models.

What side of the road do you drive on in East Cape?
If you hop behind the wheel in East Cape, you'll need to stick to the left. Be aware that the driver's seat will also be on the opposite side to what you're familiar with. Consider choosing a car with automatic transmission for a smoother motoring experience.

You can, and the awesome news is providers often offer lower prices the longer you rent. Explore our long-term car rental deals in East Cape and drive away with a real bargain.
Where can I find an East Cape car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the car rental companies operating in East Cape. They often have different age policies. If you've found an outlet that does cater to drivers under 25, be aware that extra fees may apply. Conduct some research into what those charges could be before picking up the keys to your vehicle.
