Durban King Shaka Intl Airport car rental reviews and directory
No central locking for any of the economy cars - this is a basic feature, also necessary for basic safety in South Africa. Otherwise, the car was great
Contract should stipulate that the e-toll cost will be for customer’s account just for clarity. Otherwise a good deal and no problems at all. Well done to Tempest and Europcar through whom it was hired. Thank you!
