How to find Bluu Car Rental at East London Airport
Collecting your Bluu Car Rental car rental starts with knowing where to go. You could be going to a pickup point right at the airport, meeting staff after you land, or catching a shuttle bus to the rental area. Start your car rental search and use the 'Pickup' filter to find out what's available at East London Airport.
Airport terminal: Counters are next to or inside arrivals, so there's no need for a transfer. Land, grab your suitcases and hit the road.
Free shuttle bus: The rental office isn't inside the terminal area. Instead, a free shuttle takes you to the nearby site where the car is collected.
Meet and greet: A member of staff will meet you in arrivals with the keys and rental paperwork. They'll then take you to your car.
Just want a faster way to your car? Some providers offer self-service pickup, so you can collect your keys from a kiosk or lockbox and avoid the rental counter.
Bluu Car Rental car rental at East London Airport: What you need to know
Transmission: Use the 'Transmission' filter to choose between 'Automatic' and 'Manual.' Automatic selects the right gears for you, while Manual is the traditional stick shift. Most rental companies offer both.
Fuel policy: Go for a 'Fair fuel policy' to keep things simple. You pick up the car full and bring it back full, so you only pay for the fuel you use.
Mileage limits: Rentals with 'Unlimited mileage' give you the freedom to explore without worrying about added charges. Search for this option under the 'Policies' filter and go as far as you like.
Side of the road: Remember to stick to the left side of the road in South Africa.
Speed limits: Keep within the local speed limits. Most of the time that's 55kph in urban areas and around 110kph on highways, unless signed otherwise.
Required documents: When collecting your Bluu Car Rental car rental, you'll typically need your physical driver's licence plus another photo ID. If anything extra is required, you'll find it in your booking.
Deposits and credit card: Providers often place a pre-authorised hold on a credit card as a security deposit. Debit cards are not always accepted at pickup, so it's best to carry a credit card.
Insurance: Car rental excess insurance isn't a necessity, but it can help you avoid paying a hefty excess fee. Compare cover levels before you book.
Add ons: From GPS units and mobile Wi-Fi hotspots to child seats, the right extras can seriously level up your Bluu Car Rental car rental.
