Whether you’re visiting Port Elizabeth for a week or a month, getting a car rental at Port Elizabeth Airport (PLZ) is the best decision you can make. It is a convenient option compared to public transport because you can explore various parts of the seaside destination that can’t be accessed fully by public transport. You’ll also enjoy a faster trip from the airport to your destination because you can opt for alternative routes with minimal traffic. Getting a car rental is more affordable than using a taxi when you look at the total costs to various destinations.
Picking up your rented car is quite easier when you get a car rental at Port Elizabeth Airport. You will find many car rental companies at the airport, making it easier to rent a car straight from the airport. After arriving, walk straight to the car rental desks inside the main terminal. The exact location of your rental agency may also be listed in your confirmation voucher. Once you provide the necessary documents and fill out the required forms, you’ll be directed to the pickup point outside the terminal. Check the vehicle to ensure everything is in a perfect state, and everything is working correctly before starting your trip.
The return process is also super easy when you opt for a car rental at Port Elizabeth Airport. Some companies have designated drop-off points, or you may be requested to leave the car in the same spot you collected it. The most important thing when returning the rented vehicle is to adhere to the return timelines to avoid penalties. Inform your rental company in advance if you’re unable to return the rented vehicle within the stated time. After dropping off the car, collect all your items and walk straight to your car rental desk to hand over the key and fill out the required clearance forms.
Port Elizabeth Airport can get busy during certain times of the year since it’s popular among tourists visiting the port city in South Africa. Most people visit the city from December to February when the weather is perfect for different activities. Most people rent vehicles during this period, so you’ll likely encounter more traffic at the airport’s rental section. You’ll also likely encounter traffic at the airport on weekends, holidays, and during special events. If you plan to visit Port Elizabeth during this busy period, we advise you to book your rental vehicle two months in advance for availability and to avoid paying higher fees.

At check in I was given the keys to an economy car not an suv compatible as requested. I had the paperwork with me and they apologised and swiftly rectified their mistake. Everything else was perfect and quick returning the car. Highly recommend
