Luxury car rental in South Africa covers a wide range of needs: a business trip in Sandton, an upscale stay in Cape Town, a coastal escape along the Garden Route, or marking a special occasion in style. SIXT offers a select range of exceptional vehicles combining performance, style, and comfort.
Before booking, check the age and license-history requirements for the model you have in mind — luxury and specialty vehicles in South Africa require a minimum age of 25, and some premium categories call for up to 5 years of license history. Reservations can be made directly online, or by contacting our team for any special requests.
Our luxury lineup spans everything from the Mercedes S-Class to sports coupés like the Aston Martin DB9 Volante, plus premium BMW sedans and Maserati's flagship models. Names like Land Rover, Jaguar, and Infiniti round out the range, so whatever you have in mind — a performance car, a luxury SUV, or a formal sedan — there's a model built for it.
A SIXT luxury booking can be made by phone, email, or online, whether it's for business, a weekend away, a holiday, a gift, or a special occasion. Collect your vehicle at a branch or the airport, or have it delivered to your hotel in Cape Town, Johannesburg, or Durban for select bookings. Some of our most exceptional models can only be reserved by phone.
To rent a car with SIXT in South Africa, the renter must present a valid driver's license and an ID card or passport.

SIXT also offers Chinese translation support.
Photocopies, digital licenses, learner's permits, and licenses with restrictions are not accepted.
The minimum age to rent is 18 for most categories, 21 for selected mid-size premium vehicles, and 25 for luxury and specialty vehicles. Depending on the category, you will need to have held your license for 2, 3, or up to 5 years. A young driver surcharge applies under the age of 21.
