Car rental location Pietermaritzburg Oribi Airport

Pietermaritzburg Oribi Airport Guide

Pietermaritzburg Airport is a one-terminal facility in South Africa's KwaZulu-Natal Province. It offers daily connections to Johannesburg and doubles as the most popular place to arrange car hire at Pietermaritzburg Airport. Tourists who arrive at the airport are in excellent position to drive to the coast or Kruger National Park.

The airport is technically in Oribi, a smaller subset of Pietermaritzburg. Drivers can connect from the terminal to the Pietermaritzburg city centre in a few minutes via Alexandra Road. Arranging cheap car hire at Pietermaritzburg Airport simplifies travel plans and lets tourists focus on sightseeing without juggling public transport timetables.

An important railway passes north of the airport. The nearest terminal station is not on airport grounds, but it's only a short drive away. It is located on Pentrich Road and can be reached in about five minutes. The railway that passes north of Pietermaritzburg Airport connects east to the coast and west to Johannesburg.

There is also a long-haul bus station within reach of the airport that could theoretically be used to connect to regional towns that aren't on the railway. The terminal is on Burger Street, presumably named in honor of the McDonalds no the other side of the road. Few air passengers set foot in the bus terminal.

Car rental at Pietermaritzburg Airport has become so popular because of the questionable safety record of local public transportation options. City buses are widely considered unsafe for visitors, especially outside of peak daytime hours. Taxis are generally safe, but quickly become more expensive than hiring a car.

What most people want to know

The following questions and answers are a selection of the most popular questions. If you do not find the answer to your question, have a look at the Frequently Asked Questions page or contact us.

Is Carrentals.co.uk the cheapest?

Yes, we offer a guarantee of the lowest price - because we compare various retailers, we can always offer you the best price in town.

 What do I need to do when picking up a car?

To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver. Keep in mind that the local rental company will reserve a certain amount on your credit card as a deposit. This requires the PIN code for your credit card. If your driver's license is foreign (for example, in Chinese), you must bring a translation with you. Only your original passport and driver's license will be accepted - a copy is not sufficient.

 Are there any additional costs?

In general, our rates are all-inclusive. Should there be any additional costs, our booking department will get in touch with you before issuing the invoice. Should you object, you can always cancel your reservation with no obligations attached (at least 48 hours in advance).

What kind of insurance is applicable to my car rental?

In general, Liability Insurance, Fire Insurance, All-Risks Insurance and Theft Insurance are included in the cost of your rental car.

 What is a worry-free label?

Only rental companies with a high level of customer satisfaction are eligible to be included in our Worry-Free selection. This rate includes excess cover and unlimited kilometres. Your vehicle will be provided and must be returned with a full tank of fuel. With a vehicle from our Worry-Free selection, you can travel with peace of mind and no hidden costs.

 How can I change or cancel my reservation?

You can cancel your reservation through "My Account". We recommend contacting us by phone if your changes to your booking or cancellation takes place at short notice (48 hours or less).

 When will I get a confirmation of my booking?

Most reservations will receive confirmation within minutes after payment takes place. We recommend contacting our Booking Department for last minute reservations (pick-up within 48 hours).
