# Bluu Car Rental says South Africans are renting more cars, travelling further and paying less per day. Leisure rentals increased by 16-percent last year, making it the industry’s biggest market segment. The average daily rental rate dropped from 552-rand to 501-rand, despite rising fuel, insurance and maintenance costs. Cape Town remains the country’s busiest car rental airport, while George, Lanseria and Nelspruit recorded the fastest growth. The company advises customers to consider vehicle safety, maintenance and roadside assistance, not just price.
