KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in George

  • When you choose cheap car rentals in George, you will find it to be the logical solution when getting around this Western Cape city of South Africa. South Africa does not have the most sophisticated public transportation system for handling the type of travel you might want whilst visiting George. Known for being part of the famous Garden Route, you can enjoy scenic drives that stretch for miles. The city of George is based at the foot of the stunning Outeniqua Mountains and surrounded by incredible rivers, forests, stretches of wild flowers and farmlands, making for scenic drives whether you choose to head to the coast or further inland.
  • When you land at George Airport you will be travelling domestically within South Africa. The airport is small but functional and when it comes to car hire companies you can find a fair share of global names to take care of your driving needs. Look out for Bidvest, Hertz, Tempest Car Hire, Thrifty, First Car Rental and SIXT.
  • Driving around George will be pure joy. The roads are well-maintained for the most part and signs are in English around the area. The small city has an easy-to-understand system of streets and traffic lights, and the highways that stretch beyond the city are in great shape. Traffic cameras are on all the highways, so speeding would be ill-advised. Remain buckled up whilst driving and refrain from mobile use as these are two easy-to-spot infringements that will cost you an instant fine. In South Africa, the blood-alcohol limit for drivers is 0.05%, but it is in the process of complete eradication. Always check with your local car hire company for any changes in road rules before embarking on long trips.
  • Cheap car rentals in George should not lead to many issues as the city is small and doesn’t even present too much of a peak-hour rush. One of the major driving gripes that tourists experience when driving in South African cities is the reckless nature of the minivan taxi drivers. It is not uncommon to find them cutting into traffic with no indication, overtaking on blind corners and disrupting traffic with illegal stops. Give minivans a wide birth and you shouldn’t have an issue with them. The weather in George can present heavy winds if you are driving at high altitudes and occasionally goats and sheep will stray onto the highways. Sometimes you may even spot a large local rodent known as a dassie, which likes to roam the hills and pop out and greet drivers.
  • Book your rental car in George at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Mini rental cars in George are around 71% cheaper than other car types, on average

    When it comes to deciding on your cheap car rental in George, you will find that the roads are easily manageable with every vehicle, from a small economy to a large passenger van. The comfort and power of an SUV will be great if you plan on taking road trips in the Cape region, but there are very few strips of road that will be a challenge for even the smallest of car. Take the fuel price into consideration as well as your adventure itinerary before booking a George car rental.

  • What is the speed limit in George?

    The speed limit is something that should be highly respected in South Africa. If you get pulled over on a Friday, you will spend the weekend in jail with very few exceptions. The speed is observed in kilometres and is standard compared to other cities in the world. 60 km (37 miles) on urban roads, outer roads that are not considered highways allow 100 km (62 km) and highways allow for 120 km (75 miles). Speeds can change very fast within the city so keep your eye out for signs.

  • Where are the best places to park in George?

    Your George car rental will have no problem finding parking in George – in fact, spaces are a dime-a-dozen and usually free. There is street parking available everywhere other than loading zones and roads with red stripes painted on. The South African way is very much that all your destinations will have their own parking lots. This applies to hotels, malls, restaurants, golf courses, hospitals and more.

8.0 Very Good

Cons:

The only issue was with the car. The radio display was too bright and could not be dimmed, making it difficult to drive at night (had to cover the display by holding something over it).

1.9 Poor

I've been charged 8703 ZAR for a car I rented, whereas on the agreement, the expected charges were 3209 ZAR. I have no way to contact the agency.
