Hertz in Cape Town was a bit overwhelmed, too many customers at the same time. Some waited 1 1/2 hours for the ordered car. Employees were very helpful in my case: because the ordered car category was not available, got a slightly larger SUV!

The address given for the pick up was incorrect. It stated royal hotel parade. This needs to be updated on the website as it caused quite a bit of inconvenience. Otherwise your staff were very friendly and helpful

Arrived and was informed there would be a $5.99 per day charge for the “autoexpresso” pass (tolls) even if it was not used. If I didn’t opt to get it, and went through ANY toll booths, there would be a $7.99 charge PLUS a $35 fine for each offense. NOWHERE in my reservation was I advised of this. They wait until you arrive to hit you with this “policy”. Will never use “Thrifty” again.

This was one of the worse car rental experience I have ever had. With three other renters in front of me I waited 45 minutes and then was told they did not have a full size car I reserved and I had to accept an economy car. I was also directed to the wrong part of a long parking area with our bags and suit cases while the car was close to the building.

the office was understaffed. only 1 attendant instead of 2 at desk....i waited just over 1 hr then when a car was found gas tank was only 7/8 full. so I demanded a car with full gas tank so I had to wait another 30 min for a clean car with full gas tank. other than that the service was great the guys were friendly and I would definitely rent from them again

If your trip to Durban is all sorted out but your travel itinerary is a bit on the empty side, we can give you a helping hand.
If your family and friends ask why you're coming here, just show them some images of Sahara Stadium Kingsmead and uShaka Marine World. These notable attractions will guarantee you have a memorable trip.
Close to the center, Farewell Square is one attraction to consider adding to your must-see list. If you still have room on that schedule, Durban Art Gallery and Durban City Hall will keep you on the go, too.
You'll want to explore nearby Pietermaritzburg. What's 43 miles when you've got your very own ride? The journey there is half the fun! Among your first stops here should be Tatham Art Gallery, Pietermaritzburg City Hall and Queen Elizabeth Park. Locals will also likely point you toward Howick, 56 miles away. If you only have time for one thing here, make sure it's Karkloof Farmer's Market. (But we'd also recommend Howick Golf Club and Howick Museum.)
