Durban is South Africa's third-largest city and its warmest coastal metropolis, offering a compelling mix of golden beaches, vibrant Indian culture, and easy access to the Drakensberg mountain range. Car Rental Plus delivers well-maintained vehicles across Durban and surrounding KwaZulu-Natal, from King Shaka International Airport in La Mercy to the beachfront hotels along the Golden Mile, Umhlanga Ridge, Ballito, and Hillcrest. Whether you're visiting for a beach holiday, attending a business conference at the Inkosi Albert Luthuli International Convention Centre (ICC), or setting off on a self-drive adventure through the Valley of a Thousand Hills to Royal Natal National Park, our fleet has the right vehicle for your journey. All Durban rentals include standard waiver, 24/7 roadside assistance, and GPS. Our economy vehicles are ideal for city commuting and beachfront drives, while our SUV range is recommended for gravel roads en route to the Drakensberg or game reserves in the greater KZN region. One-way rentals between Durban and Johannesburg or Cape Town are available on request.
