Hire a car in Durban
Slowly rising to the likes of Cape Town, Durban is shaping up to be a sophisticated seaside city.
Warmed by the breeze from the Indian Ocean, South Africa’s third largest city balances a beachfront lifestyle with a multicultural economy. The city’s superb beaches, prime surfing spots, long boardwalks and a subtropical climate makes it a wicked coastal playground. But within the city’s core, you’ll find a rich cultural mixing, as Durban is home a huge Indian population and Zulu tradition.
Discover the rest of the KwaZulu-Natal province by heading out on one of the world’s most scenic road trips. From the flat savannahs of Hluhluwe-iMofolozi Park to the inspiring Drakensberg mountains and spectacular Sani Pass, Durban’s surroundings are unbeatable.

The weather is balmy and pleasant all year round, and the surf is always up!
