Generally good

The staff at J'burg airport were efficient, if a little 'cool' (distant). Instructions, map, etc to get out of the airport and, worse where to get petrol to fill up before returning the car were not supplied unless requested. The car itself was excellent. I tried to send the following message to 121carhire ater receiving the summary invoice but I believe the message was 'undelivered': "My only query is the fuelling charge for 118.04. We filled up at the Engels petrol station about 2 km from the airport before returning the car, so I have my suspicions about 118 rands-worth of petrol apparently needed after our return. Otherwise the car was faultless and we greatly enjoyed a very educational and interesting 10 days touring." Thank you. Peter Turnbull

Location information for Cape Town Airport

The Cape Town International Airport is the winner of “Africa's leading from the World Travel” Awards. It is the second largest in South Africa and facilitates both domestic and international carriers that provide connections to areas such as the cape region, which is easily accessed via flights originating from this airport. Besides being serviced by its national airline, South African Airways, the airport also accommodates various other carriers including Lufthansa, Delta Air, Malaysia Airlines, Singapore Airlines, Virgin Atlantic and many more. The airport handled an estimate of 8 million passengers in the year 2007, which showed a growth in traffic of 15% in comparison to the previous year. The terminals are undergoing tremendous expansions in order to accommodate the massive passenger inflow during the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

Car hire agencies are available in plenty at the Cape Town Airport. However, taking a cheap car hire service at the airport itself might be troublesome. Therefore, most of these car hire services have a website from which you can decide the car and price you would like to pay. You can also book a car online and have it ready for you at your arrival. There are 8 different car hire agencies available at the airport, Tempest seems to offer the cheapest prices for quite decently maintained cars. Some car hire agencies offer an unlimited mileage, so you need not worry about crossing any distance limit. If you are considering on booking a car hire service it might be a good idea to contact the agency so the car hire is already waiting for you as soon as you land.

What most people want to know

The following questions and answers are a selection of the most popular questions. If you do not find the answer to your question, have a look at the Frequently Asked Questions page or contact us.

Is 121CarHire.com the cheapest?

Yes, we offer a guarantee of the lowest price - because we compare various retailers, we can always offer you the best price in town.

 What do I need to do when picking up a car?

To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver. Keep in mind that the local rental company will reserve a certain amount on your credit card as a deposit. This requires the PIN code for your credit card. If your driver's license is foreign (for example, in Chinese), you must bring a translation with you. Only your original passport and driver's license will be accepted - a copy is not sufficient.

 Are there any additional costs?

In general, our rates are all-inclusive. Should there be any additional costs, our booking department will get in touch with you before issuing the invoice. Should you object, you can always cancel your reservation with no obligations attached (at least 48 hours in advance).

What kind of insurance is applicable to my car rental?

In general, Liability Insurance, Fire Insurance, All-Risks Insurance and Theft Insurance are included in the cost of your rental car.

 What is a worry-free label?

This label indicates that a rental car satisfies the following requirements: Unlimited kilometers, no excess liability (and no excess cover available), sustainable energy policy, and that the car rental company has a good reputation. Availability of cars satisfying these four requirements will speed up the selection of a suitable vehicle for you.

 How can I change or cancel my reservation?

You can cancel your reservation through "My Account". We recommend contacting us by phone if your changes to your booking or cancellation takes place at short notice (48 hours or less).

 When will I get a confirmation of my booking?

Most reservations will receive confirmation within minutes after payment takes place. We recommend contacting our Booking Department for last minute reservations (pick-up within 48 hours).
