Frequently Asked Questions
How does one-way car rental work with CapeDrive?
Tell us your pick-up location, drop-off location, and dates in the booking form. We'll match you with a partner agency that can accommodate the one-way arrangement and send you their quote. You pay the partner directly — no extra CapeDrive fee.
Is there an extra charge for one-way rentals?
Some one-way routes carry a drop-off fee from the partner agency — this will be clearly shown in your quote before you accept. Local one-way rentals within Cape Town typically have no extra fee. Longer one-way trips (e.g. Cape Town to George) may carry a relocation surcharge.
Can I pick up at Cape Town Airport?
We don't have a desk at Cape Town International Airport (CTIA). Our Bloubergstrand collection point is about 15 minutes from arrivals by Uber (~R120–R150). We accommodate flight delays at no extra charge. This is how we offer rates well below airport desk prices.
Can I drop off the car at Cape Town Airport?
Yes — drop-off arrangements near the airport can be made. When you submit your booking request, include your drop-off preference and we'll confirm the logistics with the partner agency.
What one-way routes are available?
Any route within the Western Cape is straightforward. Longer routes (Cape Town to Garden Route, for example) depend on partner availability and typically carry a relocation fee. We'll be upfront about any extra costs in your quote.
