Tempest Car Hire

Renting a car in Cape Town involves more than just collecting keys. The city's summer traffic, winter rainfall affecting coastal and mountain passes, and the real risk of pothole damage on older suburban roads all shape what makes sense when you're behind the wheel. Tempest Car Hire works within these realities—vehicles need to handle the Cape's variable conditions, from dry inland heat to salt-spray coastal drives. Insurance implications matter too, especially if you're unfamiliar with local road hazards or driving conventions. Whether you're exploring the Peninsula, heading inland to Franschhoek, or crossing into the Karoo, the right vehicle and clear documentation protect you from unexpected costs. Understanding what your rental covers—windscreen damage, gravel-road wear, accident liability—is practical stuff that separates stress-free trips from costly surprises.
