Depending on the car rental supplier you book with and the country/region you are traveling in, the rental provider may require certain IDs (a valid driver's license, your passport, credit card, and other IDs with your name and address on them) and a printed booking voucher. We highly recommend consulting your car rental provider and the local embassy or consulate of the destination country/region (or visiting their website) before booking. Remember, all passengers are responsible for preparing the correct IDs before traveling. Important reminder: When picking up the car at the branch, fees for all additional drivers and extra equipment must be paid. Please consider these fees when using a credit card. If a valid credit card cannot be presented, or if there is insufficient available credit on the credit card, or if the credit card is not in the main driver's name, staff may refuse to let you pick up the car. In this case, refunds are not possible.Do I need to purchase insurance when renting a car from South Africa?

Rental companies typically offer various types of coverage, including Personal Accident Insurance, Personal Effects Coverage, and Collision Damage Waivers. Be sure to review the options provided by the rental company, assess your risks, and choose the right coverage for a completely worry-free rental experience.How can I cancel or modify my car rental booking?
