Cheapest Campervan Hire South Africa

South Africa Campervan Hire, Motorhome and RV Rental.

South Africa has long been well known for its safaris and stunning cities, but have you heard about the award-winning Garden Route or beaches? Touring around South Africa in a campervan is a voyage of discovery.

If you’re feeling nervous about how to go about renting a campervan, we are here to help. It’s a similar process to renting a car, but there are a few other considerations to think about.

Motorhome Rental Considerations in SA

Firstly, where is everybody going to sleep? Not all campervans, 4WD campers, motorhomes and RVs are laid out the same inside. Some have enough room for six to sleep in three double beds, while others have a mixture of doubles, bunk beds and single beds too.

The larger motorhomes in South Africa have built-in showers and WC's. These are fully equipped for sleeping and eating. They also come with a small, well-equipped kitchen as standard.

The range of camper rental vehicles varies from depot to depot, and there is a different range between Johannesburg and Cape Town.

In remote areas, the vehicles are mostly 4x4 Land Cruisers and Toyota Hiluxes. Those who are more adventurous rent four-wheel drive vehicles to explore game parks (like the famous Kruger National Park) and travel dirt roads.

The sleeping arrangements in these 4WD vehicles are often roof tents - a certain degree of agility is required to climb the exterior ladder to these tents.

Motorhome Rental Company Options in SA

South Africa has long-established international motorhome companies that serve Southern Africa. These are also well known in Australia and New Zealand, with names such as Britz and Maui.

South Africa also has its own local companies, such as Avis Safari South Africa, Bobo Campers ZA, and Happy Campers ZA. Combined, there is a wealth of campervans to choose from to match both your needs and budget.

South Africa also has a very high standard of competitively priced campsites. We recommend that our customers spend every night in a campsite, as they allow you to save money while experiencing spectacular landscapes.

Why Rent a Campervan in South Africa?

South Africa is a country where adventures happen and memories made. It is a place where you will encounter the unusual, the fascinating and pure wildness of the African bush.

Hiring a camper allows you all the time you need to enjoy the sites. No need to rush by a tour guide while you sit and enjoy a sunset over the plains. No need to leave when you have spotted elephants on the move.

South Africa is a perfect place to introduce adventure to the family. Children revel in seeing real animals in a very real wild environment. Take a good camera and binoculars as you never quite know what will be around the corner.

Our customers return with exciting tales and fantastic photographs as the scenes in South Africa are like nowhere else on earth.
