Cheap Car Rentals at Durban Airport 2024

Sani Car Rentals is now offering car hire at King Shaka International Airport. The full range of car rental agencies are on offer at Durban's King Shaka International Airport...and vehicles are the same no matter which car rental agency you hire from, so generally it makes sense to just go with the cheapest (taking free km and rates per kilometre into account, in addition to the baseline price).

*Important : Have cash ready for tolls. To drive out of King Shaka Airport you have to go through some tolls, so be sure to keep cash handy. As you travel north on the N3 there's a toll at the Tongaat Toll Plaza and to the south towards the city there's the La Mercy Ramp Plaza. Navigate to Foresight Publications' N2 Toll Road Tariffs to check what the current toll fees are.

Warning - there are criminals active at King Shaka Airport and in Durban, who especially target lone travellers with laptops. They may follow you from the airport & break into your car when you get out to check in at your hotel. We recommend hiring a sedan rather than a hatchback and locking your goods in the boot (trunk) of the vehicle.

Children's seats

We used Babylite to provide us with children's seats for our 9 year old, 5 year old, 3 year old and infant. They were stuck in traffic (accident) so we had to wait a bit for them on arriving at King Shaka, but they more than made up for this by providing a free lift at the end of our car hire, from Woodford Durban Central offices to the port of Durban (we were going on a cruise to Portuguese Island). Contact them at 082 446 9064 (cellphone) or durban@babylite.co.za
