I’m picking up a hire in Cape Town. The cost is £94 with the option to take out Vehicle Cover plus for an extra £40 (includes damage and theft excess and roadside assistance). Is it worth it or better to take out a separate policy?
My Questor annual policy was £49.48 for the year, so if you’re hiring more than one car in the next year it’s worth doing a seperate policy.
Picked up at Avis Cape Town last month on a Saturday morning. Took almost an hour to collect the car due to needing a letter of intent to drive into Lesotho. Plan on waiting for at least 30 mins though, as they’re a bit of a shambles.

We will be driving from JNB to Lesotho later this year. Did you just tell them at the desk you want to go into Lesotho, or did you pre warn them? also, did they charge extra for this?
@tontoro I called in the day before to ask if it could be done in advance but the answer was no, so lots of faffing about when I picked up the car. There’s an extra charge, I can’t remember how much but I’d say £50, maybe more and yes just tell them at the desk.
Do you know which route you’re taking into Lesotho and where are you heading? I chose a very strange way in (google maps kept trying to take me a different way) but I liked my route 🙂 Telle Bridge border post, not a single car around when I arrived. But I was going south to north so you wont use that one.
They charge 100 rand tourist fee at the border, so make sure you have cash.
Did you see my trip report? https://www.headforpoints.com/forums/topic/trip-report-south-africa-zimbabwe-botswana-lesotho/
In at Caledonspoort and out at Maseru. Will have a look at trip report.
