World Cup: South Africa Car Hire

World cup fever has taken hold and national pride is once more in the forefront of people's minds

, many ardent fans will still be trying to decide if they're going to South Africa and when. They of course will now pay premium rates for flights and hotels if they're coming to this decision later rather than earlier.

As the FIFA 2010 World cup continues in South Africa you'll find more and more 'ticket scams' around so you should only book last minute tickets from trusted sources, even though the 'deals' you may be offered are just too good to miss. Remember the saying 'if it's too good to be true' then it most likely is.

If you are making the decision to go at the last minute and you want to book car hire in South Africa, you need to book your vehicle as soon as you possibly can, prices in Germany for the world cup held there went up to over a thousand (1000) Euros per week for cars that would normally only cost about 200 Euro.

Always try and pay ahead of time for your vehicle if you can as this is a guarantee that you will have a car, booking and getting a reservation number may not be as secure because all car rental companies work on a percentage of 'no shows' for bookings which are to be paid for on pick up. Because cars that are not paid ahead of time have a much higher percentage of people who do not show up to pick up the car, the rental company will 'over book' to ensure maximum revenue.

Things to consider when renting a car are book as early as possible, pay ahead of time if you can, when parking in a street make sure you know the name and beware of interpreting traffic signs like 'One Way' as a street name! Also, using the car as a bedroom is not recommended, it may be illegal, dangerous or both! Don't drink and drive, you may end up missing the match because you're seeing the inside of a South African jail close up and personal. Make sure you have some knowledge of local driving laws and customs and don't travel without good travel insurance.

Taking notice of these simple things may not help your team to win but it could certainly help ensure you get to enjoy the game without having to worry, no matter the result, ok I guess that really you'll enjoy it more if they do win, so make sure you're there to cheer them on!
