Our 'inclusive' prices are just that. When comparing car hire costs it's important you check what's included as some companies' prices don't incorporate all the insurance you'll need or many of the local charges. Our prices include MAXIMUM Collision Damage Waiver, MAXIMUM Theft Loss Waiver, one free additional driver, additional cover for tyre, rim, hubcap or windscreen damage/repair, unlimited kilometres, airport surcharges, Tourism Levy, VAT (currently 14%), and 24 hour emergency roadside assistance with Avis Careline.
For the perfect stress free way to start your holiday, Avis have introduced a private transfer service from Cape Town Airport to any of our preferred hotels. On arrival you will be met by an Avis uniformed chauffeur who will help you with your luggage and transfer you to your chosen hotel in comfort. Your Avis hire car will then be delivered to your hotel on a pre-arranged date/time or alternatively you can be collected and taken to the relevant Avis depot to collect your car. Avis Point to Point is also available for local journeys within Cape Town, simply ask your chauffeur for further details en route.
