Cape Town is blessed with as many discount car rental companies as Johannesburg has, although the market is not as large. We have searched for a cheap car rental company that has discounted car hire in Cape Town, which will also let you rent a car with no credit card even if you are a backpacker/student and only 18 years old and have just received your drivers licence. Discount Student cars are hard to come by, as the norm in Cape Towns car rental industry has been that you were only able to rent a car if you were 23 years of age or in some cases 25 years old and in the possession of a credit card. On top of that, you had to be the owner of the credit card. Now, some car renters have tried to get discount car hire using someone else’s card, yet this is deemed as fraud and can not be accepted by any car rental company. We found no cheap car rental for cash in our internet search. We have however, identified a need for hiring cars with no credit card and did some research. We discovered that people were searching for ‘credit card car rentals in Cape Town’, as well as ‘cash car rental Cape Town airport’.

There is a new trend in Europe, one that is spreading to other parts of the world. Shops, retailers and international companies are accepting fewer credit cards; instead they prefer you to pay by debit card or cash. A recent survey from major international retail stores in Europe revealed that this trend is increasing with the result being that a growing amount of visitors to Cape Town and South Africa are in need of a discount car hire in Cape Town; and are not able to rent a car as they do not own a credit card. Drive Africa has made it our mission to source and find reputable companies in Cape Town that can offer either discounted cash car rentals or debit card car rentals at very attractive prices ( in addition, to also keep their cash deposits to a minimum). To rent a car in Cape Town with discount was difficult to find.

This in itself was quite a mission, as every car rental company we approached was reluctant to offer their cars for rent to backpackers or students in Cape Town without the security of a local or international credit card. We approached some of the smaller cheap car hire companies in Cape Town and convinced them that this product is needed in Cape Town. This is a trend which stems from Europe and it is only going to increase. An increasing amount of foreign visitors to Cape Town would be looking to make use of discount car hire for cash or would like to use their debit cards for paying their rental car. Some rental companies listened to us and we were able to convince them to allow cash car hire for students and backpackers for discounted car hire in Cape Town with a few provisos that they set. Click here for further information pertaining to cheap car hire in Cape Town.

The discount rental company would need proof of residence while visiting Cape Town, as they will take a copy of the air ticket, ID or passport and take cash deposit to secure the cheap car hire with no credit card. We have therefore identified some companies and are now able to exclusively offer discount car hire to our clients, namely students in Cape Town, a package only available to Drive Africa at this stage. We have made sure that even the cheapest car hire or low priced car rental that we offer on our website has all the correct, government approved insurances that come with the rental, so that if you have an accident or your car is stolen while you are renting it, it is always correctly insured to completely covers you. Remember, these are not 4×4 rental cars. Please go to 4×4 hire South Africa and choose the car of your choice that suits your needs.

So if you hire a car from Drive Africa using cash or your debit card, you can hire with peace of mind knowing that that the cheap car rental in Cape Town that you were searching for is right here, allowing you to book with confidence. Drive Africa also has a financial guarantee in place as well as being proud members of Cape Town Tourism and members of the Tourism body SATSA (Southern Africa Tourism Services Association) that has a financial guarantee in place for renters of Drive Africa and they in turn have bestowed our site with the international website body Dot Travel approved sites stamp.

We welcome you to Cape Town, and especially to come and rent a discount car in Cape Town from us. This will definitely make your stay an unforgettable one.

With increasing business opportunities and a fast moving economy, owning a car has become a practical decision for everyone in India, right from the employee working in a company to a business owner, or even a shopkeeper. However, even though a car is one of the basic necessities, most Indians are put off by the idea of the prohibitive costs and maintenance that they have to carry out if they buy a vehicle.

Simply put, many individuals in India think of a car as a white elephant, which takes a lot of money to maintain and has a set amount of vehicle usage. One of the major aspects of the prohibitive costs of maintaining a vehicle is the fuel costs that go to run it. Even today, a person running a small car would be spending approximately $100 to $300 per week for their fuel needs, in the city of Mumbai, which is quite a major amount of money for most Indians.

If you wish to buy a vehicle, but are put off by the prohibitive costs of fuel, you can decide on a diesel run car. A diesel run car saves a lot of money on the fuel, diesel is quite economical as compared to petrol. However, the maintenance of diesel cars may be slightly higher than that of petrol cars, but then the maintenance depends on car to car basis, as to how the car owner runs the car, the make and model of the car, etc.

Diesel cars are available in all makes and models, and today there are several car manufacturing companies that offer their best selling car models in the diesel version. Therefore, you will be able to buy a diesel run SUV, as well as a diesel run small car, or even a diesel run traveler. There are several new cars that are being designed and launched on a consistent level in diesel model for the economy minded individuals today. Following is brief elaboration of the best diesel cars, in the two major segments, i.e. Family Car and Small Car.

The Toyota Innova (Diesel):

Toyota is a world famous company whose products are known for their style, quality and endurance. In fact, many would consider Toyota to be an automobile company that brings about ground breaking technologies into the world cars. One such product was the Toyota Qualis, which would have won any fan surveys in India. The Toyota Innova is an enhancement of the Toyota Qualis, and true to its predecessor, it has captured the big car market once again, due to several of its aspects like better mileage, better comfort and low maintenance as compared to other family cars in its price bracket.

The Tata Indica V2 (Diesel):

When the first Tata Indica was launched, it was a plethora of problems, with Ratan Tata saying in an interview that people used to stop him during his morning jog to complain about the car door not closing, or something trivial. However, Tata Motors pulled up its socks and completely revamped the Tata Indica, which soon made it one of the most seen small cars on Indian roads. Tata Indica V2 still beats any car in its segment when it comes to fuel efficiency or maintenance costs.

Why Have A Car Sub Woofer?

Why should you have a car subwoofer? First you need to learn what one is. Well a subwoofer is a speaker that is powered by an amplifier tuned in to and plays back low-frequency sound or bass. Subwoofers create low-frequency sounds and contain those low notes that are missing from most car stereo systems. They are heavily used in the streetcar-tuning scene; many cars out there have massive I.C.E (In Car Entertainment) installs. There is even a whole range of music designed to push subwoofers to their limits and give them a thorough workout. The genre is known as the bass track.

The Many Types Of Car Subwoofer:

Subwoofers are either passive or powered, with the passive systems drawing power off of the car’s head unit, and the powered systems have an independent powerline hooked up to them, usually right off the battery. Car subwoofers are mounted in boxes and placed in the boots or trunk of the car, or in other places such as the cars parcel shelf or the space beneath the car’s rear window. Car subwoofers also vary dramatically in size, on average from 6.5 inches all the way up to 60 inches in the crazy monster subwoofer category. There are plenty of relatively inexpensive subwoofers that are available, however the car subwoofer is a bit of a luxury item, so buy the best you can afford.

A Typical Car Subwoofer Setup:

The car subwoofer is mounted in a box made of MDF usually, although some of them come in tubes, known as bass tubes. Typically they are hooked up to a single channel amplifier set with a low crossover to provide the bass tones. Independent amplification is necessary, because the amount of power subwoofers need, can be too much for the car’s standard audio equipment. Since the car subwoofer is usually mounted in a box, they can take up a lot of room. If you want to fit a subwoofer you must be ready to sacrifice a substantial amount of space in order to house this specialty item. However, there are systems these days that place the car subwoofer and unused nooks and crannies of the car, these are specially built pod’s if you like and can be found for most popular makes of car.

Getting A Subwoofer Of Your Own:

A car subwoofer is a must in the overall high-end I.C.E setup. It is wise to choose the best product that you can afford, and not sacrifice price for quality. However that said, because of the big business there is in car audio products and subwoofers in general you can often find a bargain. My advice would be to search on the Internet and the online auction sites and see what you can pick up.
