Campervan Rental South Africa

If you're looking for a new way to travel around South Africa, then why not consider renting a camper van? If you don't know much about camper vans, they are essentially motor homes on wheels, allowing you to drive them wherever you like within certain restrictions. The most obvious restriction being that you cannot leave the country without permission from the authorities. There are other limitations too, such as the fact that you must stay within an area that has been designated as suitable for camping. Another important thing to note is that if you plan to camp out in areas where there is no electricity supply, you'll need to bring along a generator.

You can find camper vans for rent at many locations throughout South Africa. These include caravan parks, campsites and private accommodation providers. In addition to these options, there are also plenty of places where you can just park up next to the road and sleep under the stars. This option is particularly popular among tourists who visit Cape Town, Durban and Johannesburg.

The cost of hiring a camper van varies depending on how long you wish to hire it for, but prices start at around R350 per day. As mentioned above, you should always check with the supplier before making a booking to ensure that you understand exactly what you are getting yourself into. It's also worth noting that some camper vans come equipped with air conditioning, which makes them perfect for hot weather conditions. Other things to bear in mind when choosing a camper van rental company include insurance cover, fuel costs and cleaning services.
