Durban is an urban mixing pot of cultures and people, set on the lovely east coast of the country. With great weather throughout the year, the clear waters of the Indian Ocean at the beach, and plenty of attractions both near and far to explore Durban is a great place to holiday.
Many attractions can be found throughout the area, with things to do for both young and old, and with your Durban Car Hire through DriveAway, you'll be able to see them all!

Durban is based around one of the largest and busiest harbours in Africa, with many ships arriving daily. If you are arriving in on a cruise ship, you can collect your Durban Car Hire just a few streets from the port, or alternatively if you are flying in, you can pick up your car upon arrival at the airport.
The city and surrounding area have loads to see and do, and once you have your Durban Car Hire, it’s up to you to decide what to see first. To learn a little about the area’s past and its people, head into the city centre, and check out the Campbell Collection, a museum filled with historic artwork, furniture and traditional clothing, or for a slightly more serious insight into the nation’s past check out the Kwa Muhle Museum, which houses displays on race relations in South Africa and how they have changed over the years.
For some fun and games, the whole family can enjoy, drive your Durban Car Hire down to Marine Parade, which runs alongside the beach, and check out Funworld, an amusement park filled with rides, amusements, and a great cable car system which provides excellent views of the area. North of Funworld, you can visit Mini Town, which is a great knee high replica of the Durban’s well known buildings and monuments, or perhaps head south and check out Fitzsimons Snake Park, home to a great number of scaly critters from the area.
While being a grand metropolis home to millions of people, Durban still has a great deal of wonderful natural attractions both within the city and nearby. You can head off in your Durban Car Hire and explore places such as Burman Bush, Beachwood Mangroves, or Kenneth Stainbank Nature Reserve, all just a short drive away. Or perhaps just cruise along the coast and pick yourself a spot to enjoy the warm waters of the ocean, while soaking up the sun.
