What are the car rental companies at the airport East London and how much does a taxi to the city centre cost?
Car rental
The most practical and safest form of transport for tourists is to rent a car directly at the airport.
Several companies such as Bidvest, Europcar, Hertz and First Car Rental have branches in the terminal.
Weekly car rental prices range from around 120 eur for a small car and from 160 eur for a medium-sized car.
If you will be returning the car at another location, such as Cape Town, one-way rental fees are very low in South Africa and range from 0 eur to 50 eur.
Taxi
Avoid the regular taxis waiting outside the airport building. There are no taxi meters here so the price will depend on your haggling skills.
Book a taxi conveniently and safely through the Uber or Bolt apps, both of which operate in East London.
Depending on the time of day, the price to the city centre varies between 80 zar and 95 zar.
Public transport
There are no buses or other forms of public transportation to or near East London.
