Campervans – where to hire in South Africa

When you are big on travelling, you will find that hiring a campervan makes life way easier. Campervans provide space and comfort during a journey. With a full-on home on wheels, you will easily be able to travel anywhere within South Africa.

Most campervans have sleeping space and come equipped with a fridge, gas stove, air-conditioning system and a personal bathroom. Some campervans even offer a variety of cutlery sets.

Online sites provide brief descriptions of each vehicle and if they are diesel or petrol, which makes it easier to plan the trip. There are 2-sleepers, 4-sleepers and 6-sleepers that all come in 4X4 or 4X2 depending on how many you are on the journey.

To enquire on your price regarding the motor home you have chosen, websites require you to enter your location for pickup, the date for pick up, drop-off date, drop-off location, country of residence, drivers age, number of persons and to select the dates needed to book the campervan for your journey. Most campervans price rates are roughly R2000/day but keep in mind that prices may differ.

You would need to give in your ID number and proof of a valid drivers license. Other documents showing where you are headed for the holiday are a necessity.
