Tips for hiring a car in Durban

- Car hire in Durban provides several advantages over alternative means of transport in the city. While Durban has public transportation options such as buses and taxis, having a car allows for greater convenience and flexibility. With a car, you can easily visit popular attractions like the iconic Moses Mabhida Stadium, the Durban Botanic Gardens or the uShaka Marine World at your own pace. You can also venture further to places like the Valley of a Thousand Hills or the Drakensberg Mountains, more easily accessible with Durban car hire.
- For convenient car hire in Durban, head to King Shaka International Airport (DUR). Upon arrival at the airport, make your way to the car hire counters located in the arrivals area of both the domestic and international terminals. Look for signs directing you to the car hire desks, or feel free to ask airport staff for assistance. Once you reach the desks, the friendly car hire staff will guide you through the process of selecting and obtaining your vehicle, ensuring a smooth start to your journey in Durban.
- When driving in Durban, it's important to be aware of the city's vibrant street culture. Keep an eye out for informal street vendors, cyclists and pedestrians who may not always follow traditional road rules. In some areas, you might encounter minibus taxis that frequently stop to pick up or drop off passengers. Take extra caution when navigating these situations, remain alert at all times and avoid a potential confrontation with local minibus drivers.
- In Durban, rush hour traffic can significantly impact travel times, especially during weekdays from 07:30 to 09:00 and 16:30 to 18:30. During these times, roads such as the N2 freeway, M4 Ruth First Highway and M7 Solomon Mahlangu Drive are particularly affected by congestion. If you're driving anywhere near the coast between November and January, expect heavy delays due to the large influx of local and international tourists, as well as local matriculants celebrating Matric Vac.
