South African Car Rental – Cape Town By Car
Cape Town is a city that suits traveling by rental car. The number of different attractions and destinations around the city means that the best way to see them all is in your own hire car.
When people hire a car in Cape Town one of the first places they visit is the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront. It's rich in history with the harbour buildings dating back almost 150 years. With shopping malls and entertainment venues scattered about and world class hotels and apartments to choose from. In the evening why not park your rental car, take a stroll and dine at one of the Cape Towns finest restaurant districts. The views here are a feast for the eyes, with the waterfront on one side and the magnificent Table Mountain on the other.
Table Mountain would be one of South Africa's best known features. It dominates the skyline of the city and is a must to visit for all Cape Town car rental customers. The most common way to make your way to the top is to swap your hire car for a cable car however, there are over 100 ways to climb it if you wish to do so. All with their own unique view. When on the top, to the south is the spectacular view of Cape Point.
One of Cape Town's most popular attractions, Cape Point is located in the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve. With world class visitor facilities, this should be your next destination when hiring a car in Cape Town. It also features some of the the world's best views, the most popular being the headland at the tip of the peninsula. Cape Point's cliffs have a sheer drop of about 300 metres straight down to the oceans below. Sometimes when looking out it is possible to see dolphins and seals playing in the waters.
From Cape Town's waterfront, it is possible to take boat trips around the harbour. One of the most popular being a trip to Robben Island. This Island was the long time prison of Nelson Mandela. Guided Tours can be taken of the island and the prison complex that once housed him and many other political prisoners. Now the island is home to penguin and seal colonies.
Other things to look at while driving around Cape Town are the Maritime Museum and the Two Oceans Aquarium. If you have children and want to impress them (and yourself) why not take them to the only Imax cinema in the country. Take note of just how big a five story high screen really is.
Cape Town is an inspiring place to visit. When there, make sure you see all that you can. Don`t waste time, hire your rental car now through Cavalcade Car Hire South Africa to insure you have a great time and see what you want.
