When hiring a car in Cape Town, remember first that you drive on the left hand side of the road in South Africa. Cape Town's roads can be confusing, so it's advisable to hire a GPS unit for a small additional fee. Follow the green sign boards from the airport to the N1. Choosing the N1 Cape Town will take you to Cape Town City, beaches and the V&A Waterfront. Choosing the N1 Somerset West will take you in the direction of the Winelands.
