Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Durban?
You get serious bang for your travel buck in Durban, with car rental prices within the past seven days starting from as little as CA $28 per day.
Can I rent a car from King Shaka Intl. Airport (DUR)?
Yes, and you have plenty of choice. After you touch down and collect your luggage, make a beeline for the rental car centre on the ground level of the main terminal. Here you can arrange your ride with reputable companies like Bidvest, Avis and Hertz. If you'd like some more options, see what's on offer with Woodford and Dollar/Thrifty.
What happens if I need to cancel my Durban car reservation?
No need to worry. You should be eligible for a complete refund if you advise us a minimum of six hours ahead of pickup time. Your itinerary contains information about this, and so does our Customer Service Portal. Not all bookings result in a refund though, so it's a good idea to go over the rental policy.
Where can I go on a road trip from Durban?
There's heaps to do in Durban, but venture farther afield and you'll find even more magic. Rent a set of wheels and you can explore the surrounding area at your own pace. Add these awesome places to your travel schedule:

  • Head off to Pietermaritzburg for a fantastic sightseeing adventure. About 72 kilometres from Durban, it's home to lots of cool sights like Golden Horse Casino.
  • Your next stop? Make it Richards Bay, which is around 153 kilometres away. Enseleni Nature Reserve is one local draw card you won't want to miss.
  • Spend time in the outdoors and breathe in some fresh air at Drakensberg Mountains. You'll find it roughly 225 kilometres from Durban.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Durban with Expedia?
Whatever sort of wheels you're after, Expedia will help you track down the best deal. Compare the offers from well-known rental providers and book the option that's right for you. Love to drive away with even more in your wallet? Bundle your Durban car rental with flight or hotel bookings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Durban?
Durban requires drivers to be 18 and above before they can rent a car. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra cost and tighter rental conditions. Most companies impose a young renter fee on top of the standard rental rate. This covers the extra risk of accident or damage. While many car classes (like economy and compact) are available to young motorists, restrictions usually apply to luxury cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Durban?
A valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. Opting out of the company's insurance plan? If that's the case, you may need proof of your own coverage. Rules may differ between rental suppliers, so be sure to read through your policy.
What side of the road do you drive on in Durban?
In Durban, get ready to drive on the left-hand side of the road. This is obviously different from driving in the States, so be mindful and focus when you're behind the steering wheel.
What is the cheapest car rental in Durban?
With rates starting from just CA $28 and CA $29 per day in Durban within the past seven days, you'll be zipping off with your own incredible deal in no time. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Durban?
Yes. We partner with reputable companies that offer long-term rentals for all categories of cars. Reserve one of our long-term car rental deals and explore every turn of Durban — or beyond!
Where can I find a Durban car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look up the age policy of the Durban rental providers you're considering. If you're under 25 years old, be mindful that some will charge additional costs. It's ideal to know this in advance so you can budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own terms and conditions for younger drivers, so it's smart to do your research.
