Why choose compact hire in Cape Town
A premium compact is the most practical way to see Cape Town as a couple or solo traveller. Parking in the City Bowl, Sea Point and at the V&A Waterfront is tight, and a smaller car slips into bays a large SUV cannot. Fuel use is low, which matters when your days take you from Kloof Street to Kalk Bay and back.
Our compacts, such as the Audi A1 Sportback and Volkswagen Polo, are automatics with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, so navigation and music work from your phone. Like every Mylz car, they are owner-supplied and Mylz-managed: inspected, serviced and cleaned to our standard before each rental.
Collect with meet & greet at Cape Town International or have the car delivered to your hotel or home. The daily kilometre allowance comfortably covers Chapman's Peak Drive and a day in the Winelands, and the minimum driver age is 21.
