Not interested in customer service just money
Pros: The car was just okay, expected.
Cons: At arrival after a long wait, customer service was unhelpful and even denied my credit card covered insurance (I have a platinum card that includes coverage) I then showed my own insurance but they still said I had no option but to buy additional insurance, I've never heard this. Then was told the car wasn't ready and still had to wait. Upon returning the car customer service again was rude, slow and extremely picky charging for any small thing they could.

Average
Pros: We got a car
Cons: It was not the car I reserved. Our luggage didn't fit at all. Luckily they had another car in the same class that was the one I reserved, but a bit of hassle to get it swapped.
Also I got charged for a second driver when the booking said I wouldn't. Lastly it was a bit confusing as I thought I signed up for the insurance through the booking online and then when I got there I has no insurance through the reservation. Tricky.

End up more expensive than offer received by Kayak!
Pros: Location was quite convenient. They also didn't charge additioanl fee for dropping the car at the airport (while pick up was in Cape Town City Centre).
Cons: The had big problem processing my card, which worked everywhere else. I spent about 45 min waiting for all the arrangements.Additionally they charged me a "counter" fee, which is a bit crazy, because after all this is all a part of the rental process, so why would someone. With all, I paid 15% more, than the price advertised on Kyayak.

Poor customer service
Pros: I didn’t like anything
Cons: The car was clean but it smelled very bad. When we booked the car Online we paid the insurance and when we arrived they wanted us to do another insurance with them or they will block a very big sum of money from our card which was not mentioned online , and we had to pay him the insurance again and the employees weren’t helpful at all , this was our first experience with hertz and our last that’s for sure

Pros: Good car, friendly staff.
Cons: In Cape Town my booking was mixed up with another person of the same last name from another country. One week later it still isn't straightened out. I received his e-receipt for his four day rental and later my e receipt for my rental but with his name and private information. It appears I have been charged for a sum which I pre-paid and will have to go after Hertz for that.
When I returned the car my supposedly fixed booking came up in his name. Very frustrating.

Buy the protection from Kayak upfront!
Pros: The car worked well, and the checkout process was well done. THe people at the counter were extremely patient as I needed to check on Collisions Damage Waiver, etc. with another company.
The coverage offered by Kayak at the bottom of the confirmation email was much less expensive, so I definitely recommend taking this if you want coverage.
Cons: Optional coverage was outrageous. Signage to return the car was poor. It's marked something like Rental Car Shade or something strange like that.

Avis Cape Town is too focused on very minor scratches--causes worry
Pros: I rented a minivan/people carrier. It was a low-end model that was small compared to the category rented, but was good value-for-money. I would rather save money than have a "luxury" model minivan with extra bells and whistles. The car fit 7 people (only with no luggage) or 5 people with luggage. Would have been better if the advertisement made that clear, because it said 7 passengers and 4 pieces of luggage, but in truth it's EITHER 5 passengers + 4 pieces of luggage OR 7 passengers and no luggage.
Cons: When I picked up the car, Avis asked me to note every scratch on the car. This made me nervous, because I cannot control if someone parks next to me and opens their door into the car making a small scratch. Luckily, during our 12-day rental this did not happen. But when I returned the car, Avis was very, very focused on every little tiny scratch again, and they made me feel like they might charge me for scratches, even if I did not make them. They should allow for normal small scratches without making the customer feel threatened.

Smooth sailing
Pros: I liked walking into a busy office with a long line and walking right up to the preferred customer desk. It was an amazing feeling. Checkin was quick and easy, our car ran smoothly on a long road trip. When we returned it we didn't have to even go inside. We were met outside right away. Great experience.
Cons: Our car had an awkward luggage cover up that we were constantly battling. A quirk of the Toyota Avanza I suppose.

You can't help a customer a key locked in the car?
Pros: Pickup and Dropoff was fine. The vehicle was more or less what we expected.
Cons: I needed some help when I accidentally locked my keys in the truck of the vehicle. I realize this is my fault, but the staff lied and told me someone was en route to assist me. Further they told me I would receive a call from the manager. Nearly two hours after requesting emergency assistance, I received a call wherein I learned that Thrifty in SA does not unlock cars and I would have to do it myself. Thanks! I would have loved to have that information two hours prior. Foreign country, unusual circumstances, unhelpful/rude lying staff. Will not rent here again.

Do NOT rent from Dollar or Thrifty - Bad customer
Cons: The rental was done by Thrifty. They did not have the car that we reserved at the time we arrived. They gave us an upgrade, but wanted it back the next day. We were driving four hours East and the car could not be picked up. So we arranged to have it picked up at our next stop 2.5 hour away at the air port.
That morning I received a call and arranged that we could exchange the car between 5-6 pm at the house. We had to go out of our way to be back at the hotel at 5 we waited until 5:45 gave them a call and they said that they would send someone out, it would take 2.5 hours. We had dinner reservation at 6:30 so that didn't work They finally answer the phone, and said they were too busy to answer the phone.
The next day we gave up and drove the car back to the airport to return the car.
Phone Call = $50
Time lost from our vacation = 5 hours

Pros: Once I got the correct car, was very nice
Cons: My car wasn't read at time of rental, there was an issue booking through Kayak as a third party booking service. As a result, instead of having an SUV, I was given a base model pick-up. Dollar was very good about changing it out the next day, but only after I had to make several phone calls and be available for an exchange, which impacted the plans for my vacation. Lastly, I have a charge on my credit card that occurred several days after my issue free return, for which I have been unable to get an answer for. Tank was full, no tickets, and no other issues upon return, so I an still waiting to learn why I have an extra charge.

Top tips for renting a car in Cape Town
- Public transportation around Cape Town is quite limited. For this reason it will be more convenient for you to rent a car during your stay. Having a rental car will enable you to visit exciting places such as De Hoop Nature Reserve, Groote Post Country Market, and Table Mountain, where you can hike and enjoy a variety of other outdoor activities.
- You’ll also enjoy a number of modern conveniences when flying into the Cape Town Airport. This includes access to several rental car companies. Located in the center of the airport, there are rental desks for Hertz, Avis, Dollar, and a number of local agencies. Rent an economical car or a luxurious vehicle during your stay in Cape Town -- it’s all up to you.
- Driving in Cape Town will require an adjustment for you since drivers there must drive on the left side of the road. You’ll also need to become familiar with the metric system as gas levels, speed limits, and road signs will be in liters and kilometers as opposed to gallons and miles.
- Traffic can be a little busy during rush hour on weekdays. To avoid getting caught in traffic jams, you’ll want to drive during non-peak hours. Morning rush hour in Cape Town runs from around 6:15 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. (especially 8 a.m. to 9 a.m.). The evening commute also begins at around 4 p.m. but is most congested between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m.
