KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Stellenbosch

  • Car hire in Stellenbosch offers several advantages for exploring the city and its surrounding areas, including flexibility and convenience. You'll have the freedom to visit the renowned wineries and vineyards the region is famous for. With Stellenbosch car hire, you can drive through the scenic Cape Winelands, exploring picturesque towns like Franschhoek and Paarl without worrying about public transport schedules or delays. Additionally, a car allows you to venture to nature reserves, such as Jonkershoek Nature Reserve and Helderberg Nature Reserve, which you can't get to using public transport.
  • When getting a hire car at the airport in Stellenbosch, you'll find car hire offices conveniently located at Cape Town International Airport (CPT). The car hire offices are situated in the Arrivals area of the main terminal building, directly after Baggage Claim or in the P2 parking garage. With car hire in Stellenbosch, you can easily pick up your vehicle at the airport and embark on your journey through the beautiful Winelands with convenience and ease and without worrying about arranging extra transport.
  • When driving in Stellenbosch, be aware of pedestrians and cyclists, as the city is known for its vibrant university population. Keep a lookout for students crossing the road or cycling along the streets, especially around the campus area. Additionally, some roads in the city centre may have narrow lanes, so it's essential to drive cautiously and be prepared for slower-moving vehicles. Consider getting a GPS to avoid any one-way lanes or getting lost along the way to Stellies from anywhere else in Cape Town or the surrounding area.
  • When driving in Stellenbosch, it's important to be aware of peak traffic hours, particularly during weekday mornings from 07:00 - 09:00 and afternoons from 16:30 - 18:30. During these times, main routes such as Adam Tas Road and Merriman Avenue may experience heavier traffic volumes due to commuters and university students. Stellenbosch generally does not face severe winter conditions, but it's always wise to be cautious when driving in mountainous areas or during heavy rainfall.
