At Pace Car Rental, we get to witness something special every day. Each booking marks the beginning of someone’s journey, whether it is a family holiday, a business trip, or a well deserved break. We play a small part in that moment, and over time we have learnt that South Africa is at its best when explored by road. Our experiences with travellers have given us many stories worth sharing.
One of our favourite stories begins in Cape Town. It is a city where even a short drive can feel unforgettable. At our Cape Town Airport branch we often hand over keys to travellers who are excited to explore the Garden Route. In a way we travel with them too. Each car leaves our branch clean, inspected, and ready to begin a new adventure. From there the road opens up toward Chapman’s Peak, Muizenberg, Camps Bay, Stellenbosch, and the coastal stretches where mountains and sea meet in dramatic fashion.
We have learnt that travellers value the freedom to explore at their own pace. They enjoy stopping at unexpected viewpoints, taking detours into winelands, or visiting small towns that are not always on a planned itinerary. These moments are the heart of every road trip, and they are made possible through the flexibility a rental car offers.
Along the way we have gathered a few useful travel insights.
1. Choose a vehicle that suits your journey.
A fuel efficient hatchback is perfect for solo travellers exploring long stretches. Families often prefer the comfort of an SUV. Every route has its own needs, so the right vehicle can make the experience much smoother.
2. Allow yourself time to enjoy the road.
Many of South Africa’s most memorable moments are found between destinations. Scenic routes such as the Garden Route and the Midlands Meander offer views and experiences that reward travellers who take their time. Enjoy a long term car rental to take the most of the scenery.
3. Book ahead during peak seasons.
December, Easter and long weekends become busy quickly. Early bookings ensure you have the widest choice of vehicles and a smooth start to your trip.
4. Unlimited mileage offers peace of mind.
Travellers who plan to explore multiple provinces appreciate the ease of unlimited mileage. It removes the pressure of counting kilometres and allows the journey to unfold naturally.
Our story continues as vehicles return to branches in George, Gqeberha, Sandton, Kempton Park, Umhlanga and other locations across the country. Each car comes back with a little dust from the road and a sense of the adventure it has supported. We service it, clean it, and prepare it for the next traveller ready to explore South Africa.
For us, travel is more than reaching a destination. It is about discovering new places, sharing meaningful moments, reconnecting with loved ones, or simply taking time away from daily routines. If we can help make those moments easier through reliable vehicles and friendly service, then we feel honoured to have played a role in your journey.
Wherever your next trip leads you, we would be proud to be part of your story.
