Your other choice will be by car, and a good place to rent from is www.europcar.com. We use them often when on holiday here and they are inexpensive and professional.
You will see taxi’s everywhere, they are colloquially referred to as ‘black taxis’. They are kind of like what people in the UK would term a people carrier.
I have been in taxis MANY times in my life, especially when I lived in Cape Town. They operate by using special hand signals for destinations.
It is important you know what the correct hand signal is, as I found out many times!!! :) Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

I have ridden in them many times myself and some of the experiences have been hair raising, but most times I felt safeish, albeit a tad squashed!
