Cheap Car Rental in Cape Town – International Students & Professionals

Students Meet Africa offers cheap car rental in Cape Town. On request, Students Meet Africa, as part of our Cape Town internship service, will organize you a car, for the duration of your stay in Cape Town. Since the various modes of public transport are not always reliable, a car will make commuting to and from your Cape Town Accommodation, much more convenient for you. Particularly when you go out at night a car is the safest option, and it is the best way to discover Cape Town and its surroundings. We therefore would recommend you to either, purchase a car, hire a car, or alternatively if possible, try sharing a car with friends or colleagues.

The question of whether or not it is more reasonable to purchase or rent a car will largely depend on the duration of your stay. If you stay less than three months we would recommend that you rent a car. Car rental prices will vary depending on the type and model of the car, an estimation of cheaper car rental will be from R2 200.00 up to R3 500.00 per month. If you stay longer than three months you might want to consider buying a car instead. There is some element of risk related to buying older vehicles, which might need to be repaired from time to time, but generally there are reasonably reliable used cars from R20 000.00 onwards.

The prices for cheap car rental in Cape Town depend on what kind of a car you would like to rent. If you want to rent a car for the city with a radius of 150km then the price for a cheap car rental in Cape Town is approximately R 3100 per month. Mostly City Golf’s, Mazda’s or VW Polo’s. If you are looking to rent a car with unlimited mileage and unlimited radius you will have to consider paying R 5000 or more per month. The details regarding car insurance will be discussed once you have decided which option you would like to consider.

Students Meet Africa co-operates with reputable car rental agencies and car dealerships and envisages providing you more favourable rental and purchasing conditions. After consultation with you, you can decide which of the options would suit you better. Our team will assist you with everything and make sure a suitable car is available upon your arrival, for the duration of your internships in South Africa.
