About 4Seasons Car Hire
Helping travellers explore Southern Africa since 2009
Based in Somerset West, Cape Town, 4 Seasons Car Hire CC is an independent vehicle rental company specialising in self-drive adventures across South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
Personal service
We’re a family-run operation. Real people answer the phone and your trip is planned by someone who’s driven the route.
Trip-ready vehicles
Every vehicle is fully serviced, AA-checked and equipped for the route you’ve booked — from city sedans to fully kitted overland 4x4s.
Local knowledge
Years of experience covering South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zambia and Zimbabwe means we can advise on routes, border crossings and camps.
Trusted protection
Comprehensive insurance options, 24/7 roadside assistance and clear, honest pricing with no surprise add-ons at the counter.
Our story
A small Cape Town outfit with a big map on the wall
4Seasons started in 2009 with a handful of vehicles and a simple idea: rent cars the way we’d want to rent them ourselves. Clear pricing, vehicles prepared for the actual route, and a real human at the end of the phone.
Sixteen years later we’re still independently owned. Our fleet has grown from city sedans to include fully kitted overland 4x4s and self-drive campers, and our team has guided thousands of travellers across the dunes of Sossusvlei, the Okavango Delta, the Caprivi Strip and beyond.
Whether you’re here for a weekend in the Winelands or a six-week loop through five countries, we’ll help you pick the right vehicle and pack it with everything you need to come home with stories.
