At Auto Europe Israel, we collaborate with HERTZ in South Africa, to offer Israelis convenient, flexible, and competitively priced car rentals. Through our platform, you can book cars from various HERTZ categories, with pickup and return at the company's branches in major airports and selected city branches throughout the destination. We provide you with terms, promotions, and customer service in Hebrew throughout the way.
Auto Europe Israel collaborates with a large number of car rental companies in South Africa, offering you a wide option for picking up and returning vehicles at hundreds of stations across the country. The main rental centers are located at large international airports—Johannesburg (OR Tambo), Cape Town (Cape Town International), and Durban (King Shaka)—where counters are active most hours of the day and the selection of categories is particularly wide. Additionally, many stations are available in city centers and major tourist areas such as Cape Town and its surroundings, through the Winelands areas of Stellenbosch and Franschhoek, along the Garden Route (George, Knysna, and Plettenberg Bay), and gateways to the nature reserves and Kruger Park (Nelspruit/Mbombela, Skukuza). You can choose the pickup and return point that is convenient for you—at the airport upon landing, in the city center for business meetings, or close to your travel route.
Opening hours vary between rental companies and from station to station, so it's important to verify in advance that they match your arrival time. Major airports may offer 24/7 services or extended service windows, while remote locations or small towns may have limited hours, especially on weekends and local holidays. If you arrive on a night flight or plan an early return, check the availability of pickup/return outside business hours and possible costs. During peak seasons in South Africa (December–January, Easter, and special events), it is recommended to book in advance to guarantee a vehicle in your desired category and convenient station. Auto Europe Israel centralizes the rental conditions of leading suppliers for you, allowing you to compare stations, hours, pricing, and additional equipment options, and easily choose the precise solution for your route.
Planning to rent a car abroad through Auto Europe Israel? Here are four focused tips to help you choose wisely, understand the fine print, and avoid unexpected charges with HERTZ—from pickup to return.
Ensure Credit Card and Deposit
Arrive with a physical international credit card in the main driver's name (not debit/Prepaid), with available limit for deposit. Check the security amount and charge conditions at the desk in advance.
Get to Know Insurance Terms and Exceptions
Check CDW/TP and deductible amounts, whether windows/tires/roof/underbody are covered, and what's included in roadside assistance. Avoid double insurance and keep a policy document available during the trip.
Document Damages at Pickup and Return
Walk around the car, photograph any scratches/dents, fuel gauge, and mileage. Request a condition report to include all findings and station signature, and keep a return receipt to prevent late charges.
Check Travel Restrictions, Borders, and One Way
Confirm in advance border crossings, ferry travel, green zones, and dirt roads, and check mileage limits. For special conditions and one-way return fees, verify Hertz's policy at the pickup branch.
