Car Rentals Winter Time in South Africa

by CUAN PYOOS

Winter has dawned upon us in South Africa, rather sooner than normal but thats not going to stop the warm spirited people of this country :)

The Sun sets and the night falls, most places get really cold and you know that mother nature is sending winter soon. Everyone hurry indoors and tries to keep warm, through all that we notice an increase in tourism. Kinda strange seeing that is cold, but the truth of the matter is that everything is cheaper!!!

Car Rental, Accommodation , site seeing,Flight Tickets, all these prices seem to drop dramatically.

Lets take a closer look at car rental rates. The most popular vehicle that clients rent is the following:

Toyota Corolla: Normal Rate R309 per day Unlmited Mileage Zero Excess

The winter rate would be : R 261 per day Unlimited Mileage Zero excess

Now thats a real saving, and the truth of the matter is that more and more rental companies are starting to realize that business is lost during the winter months as the rates are still high and there fewer travelers.

With the sudden change in temperature and rates more travelers are coming to South Africa to take advantage of these great offers, and why should they now.

By simply dropping rates it has encouraged visitors to re-look at their travel plans, why come to South Africa in the peak season and pay a whole lot more to do the same in off season?

Besides our winter time is nothing compared to the North. South African run for cover as night falls while travelers from the North don't feel a thing.

My advice for travelers who travel with families is to forget about the peak season and take advantage of the 20-25% drop in rental prices and make your holiday and affordable yet inexpensive one to remember.
