South Africa Car Rentals

Discover South Africa’s beaches with South Africa car rentals for an unusual vacation. The SA coastline offers wild beauty as well as gorgeous, cosmopolitan beaches.

KwaZulu-Natal

KZN is on the east coast of South Africa and has a pleasant, sub-tropical climate. The beaches are golden and the warm Indian Ocean makes “the beach” a constant attraction all year round. If you’re planning to use South Africa car rentals to tour the coastline, the top of the east coast is a good place to start.

Elephant Coast

The Elephant Coast in northern Kwa-Zulu Natal is an amazing place: a combination of game reserves; marine reserves and almost untouched beaches. Game viewing, birding and diving are magnificent in this area. A 4x4 is essential for access to most destinations.

Dolphin Coast

Bottlenose dolphins live in the waters of this coast, playing and racing one another through the waves. Holiday towns are common along the seashore with ample accommodation for travellers. The local beaches are ideal for swimming and walking.

Hibiscus Coast

The Hibiscus Coast is the south coast of Natal, a great place for family holidays. The beaches are well suited to swimming with plenty of space for beachsports. There are also a number of striking lagoons for kayaking and pedal-boating. In addition, the area is a golfer’s paradise!

Eastern Cape

The Eastern Cape is both South Africa’s watersports centre and a brand new adventure waiting to happen.

Wild Coast

The Wild Coast is a fertile, almost unpopulated region. Expanses of the coast can only be accessed on horseback or by incredible hikes. The pristine beaches and remarkable cliffs are well worth the effort to get there.

Sunshine Coast

The Sunshine Coast is an endless playground for beach fans. People come here to enjoy a life of leisure with river cruises, watersports and incredible surfing. The weather is mild and nature reserves on the beach make for fantastic walking and birding.

Western Cape

The Western Cape is South’s Africa’s most civilised, first-world province. Sophisticated and enchanting, the coasts of the Cape are both varied and quaint. The west coast lies on the chilly Atlantic Ocean and the east on the temperate Indian Ocean waters. If you’re using South Africa car rentals to travel SA’s beaches, the West Coast is an advisable place to start-particularly if you hire car Cape Town Airport.

Garden Route

The Garden Route is an exceptional drive with the Indian Ocean on one side and beautiful mountain ranges on the other. This is a wonderful place stay over and explore at leisure.

Overberg Coast (Cape Whale Coast)

The renowned Cape Overberg Coast is tremendously popular during the whale season from mid-winter (June) through to mid-summer (September) when Southern Right, Bryde’s and Humpback whales migrate to this coastline to mate and calve. Coastal towns have superb vantage points (such as the 12km cliff path in Hermanus) from which to watch the whales.

Atlantic Seaboard

The Atlantic Seaboard is Cape Town’s “Riviera”. Majestic mountains provide an impressive background to sandy white beaches and turquoise waters. The beaches are trendy and the water invigorating!

West Coast

The West Coast is wild and natural, scattered with little fishing villages. The beaches are brilliant for relaxed vacations away from the masses and there is abundant birdlife for keen birders.

Touring SA’s incredible beaches makes for an extraordinary holiday. South Africa car rentals give you the opportunity to live your own adventure.
