About Renting a Car at Cape Town Montague Gardens

Montague Gardens is an industrial area northwest of Cape Town's center, but works perfectly as a starting point for exploring the entire Cape region by car. Remember that left-hand traffic applies in South Africa, which requires some adjustment before you feel confident behind the wheel. From here you can reach Bloubergstrand with its classic view of Table Mountain in just ten minutes north along the N1, and the city center with V&A Waterfront is approximately fifteen minutes' drive south.

The dramatic coastal route along Chapman's Peak Drive and the vineyard landscape of Stellenbosch and Franschhoek can be reached comfortably in under an hour, making Montague Gardens a practical base for those who want to combine nature experiences with food and wine culture along the Cape Peninsula.

We compare prices from all major providers at Cape Town Montague Gardens so you can see the total cost upfront - including insurance, fuel terms and any extras. Most bookings include free cancellation up to 48 hours before pickup, giving you flexibility if your plans change.
