“King Shaka International Airport opens on schedule on 1 May 2010”
On the 30th April, the current Durban Airport will process its last flight and the next morning all planes will fly to and from the new King Shaka International Airport situated on the north coast, at La Mercy. And, Budget will be there to welcome everyone.
Our new kiosk, manned by a team dedicated to customer service, is geared to cater for even the most discerning customer’s car rental needs. Visitors have a host of different services to choose from including your own private Chauffeur Service, Wheelchair Accessible Transport or Door2Door Transfers. For those of you who prefer to drive yourselves and are unfamiliar with Durban and its surrounds, our GPS units will help you get around. Our wide range of vehicles – including SUVs and convertibles – cater for both your lifestyle and your budget.
With 10 dedicated customer service points and an increased number of parking bays to ease traffic flow, Budget is able to offer world-class service at a world-class airport. We are ready and waiting to welcome our 2010 FIFA World Cup visitors to Durban.
