ALAMO Car Rental at Cape Town Airport

Cape Town Airport is one of the largest airports in Africa, and is located approximately 20 km from the city center of Cape Town, in the Western Cape region of South Africa. Only O.R Tambo Airport in Johannesburg handles more passengers than Cape Town Airport in this country, therefore it is considered to be a very important gateway. The city of Cape Town is visited by thousands of tourists every year, and most people find that having their own vehicle to drive is highly convenient. There are a number of car hire companies at the airport, for example, Alamo Rent a Car. Alamo is well known for their competitive rental rates and wide range of vehicles for hire.

Alamo Rent a Car has over thirty years of experience in the car rental industry, since they began in 1974 with a few locations in Florida. Over the years Alamo has become very popular for holiday rentals, as they offer customers the option of Unlimited Free Mileage. Alamo aims to provide their customers with a fun, low-cost and high-value rental experience. Another concept for which Alamo was the first to introduce was real-time booking capabilities on the Internet. This was in 1995, and enabled customers to find various rental locations, view rental rates and select their vehicles all from the comfort of their homes. Nowadays, all the major car hire companies offer a website from where advanced bookings can be made. Customers of Alamo are also advised to make their bookings as early as possible, to ensure their ideal car is ready and waiting for their arrival at Cape Town Airport. Alamo’s website can be found at www.alamo.com. Europcar at this rental location services the company of Alamo.

Although Alamo is famous for their innovative services for leisure clients, they do not forget about their corporate clients.

Corporate clients also have the use of a dedicated reservation desk and 24 hour emergency roadside assistance with all rentals. A corporate account is needed at Alamo for this program, and enrollment forms are available on Alamo’s website.

Alamo offers all their customers the opportunity to become Quicksilver members and enjoy a range of exclusive time and money saving benefits.
