The easiest and cheapest way to get around in Cape Town is by mini taxi's. You can get on from the street or at the taxi rank. The taxi drives when its filled.
But I wouldn't reccommend the mini taxi's after dark.

Some hostels offer free pick-ups from Cape Town airport otherwise there are pleny of taxis touting for trade.
Car rental is quite expensive but we found a good deal on the internet. However the SA Youth Hostel Association had some very competitive deals so check out their internet site or e-mail one of the official hostels.

Cross the great grey-green greasy Limpopo River. I didn't see any fever trees that I know of, but there's a bridge.

There are metered taxis in the city and there is a taxi rank at the V & A. I would be cautious about getting a taxi alone especially late at night.

Lot of sight seeing can be done by foot. If you have to go from one side of town to the other it is best to use your car or public transport. Public transport takes a lot of time.

A cheap way of getting around Cape Town is the Rikkis. It's a three-wheeled taxi that covers all of Cape Town.
