Compare car hire in Durban
The third-biggest city in South Africa after Johannesburg and Cape Town, Durban is KwaZulu-Natal’s largest city and has a population of 3.4 million. There’s archaeological evidence that the area has been inhabited by humans since 10,000 BC but it entered written history in 1497 when explorer Vasco Da Gama sighted it off the coast during the festive season and Christened it ‘Natal’, which is Portuguese for ‘Christmas’. A fun and friendly city that’s nicknamed ‘Durbs’ by South Africans, it’s a favourite spot for staycations but always welcomes visitors from further afield with open arms. A significant urban renewal project has enhanced the waterfront and promenade, but there are improvements underway city-wide and since this is a heartland of South Africa’s Indian population, so you can expect delicious dishes that are perfectly spiced and seasoned. If you want to sunbathe, swim and socialise, this laid-back city is a hidden gem. Getting around by car is the most convenient way to travel here and hiring a car in Durban is child’s play with Enjoy Travel. A compact car like a Toyota Etios is just £20 a day to hire here, a Toyota Yaris is £36 a day and a rugged Toyota Hilux double cab is just £60 a day..
Guide to Durban
Powerful waves, beautiful beaches and perpetual sunshine make Durban a magnet for surfers all year round, while its newly-revamped promenade has fast become the beating heart of its cultural scene – it’s peppered with paddling pools, performance artists and cool cafes. Station Drive Precinct is the creative district in Durbs and here you’ll find vintage clothing, jewellery and furniture, an excellent microbrewery and streetfood of all stripes.
Things to do in Durban
With so much to see and do, it’s practically impossible to be bored in Durban. For a genteel vibe, stroll around the Florida Road area, where colonial-style villas line leafy streets and you can sip perfectly mixed cocktails at the Charlatan or shop for rare vinyl at Khaya Records.
Eating out in Durban
The local delicacy here is bunny chow (a hollowed-out half loaf of bread stuffed with spicy curry) and you can sample it at eateries like Cane Cutters or Patels. Alternatively, try authentic Korean food with stunning sea views at the Crazy Korean or sample trendy cocktails, artisan cocktails and industrial chic styling at The Chairman on Mahatma Gandhi Road.
Transport in Durban
There’s a Metro Rail system in Durban and you can purchase a Muvo smart card to access the city’s three main bus lines. However, travelling in a hire car offers the ultimate in privacy and comfort.
