The Experience
Before You Go
Confirm exact pickup zone
Cape Town International has designated ride-share and taxi zones—confirm whether your driver meets you at the Uber pickup area or curbside to avoid delays.
Account for traffic windows
Allow extra time during weekday morning and late-afternoon rush hours; Table Mountain and Camps Bay routes commonly slow down then.
Request child or infant seats ahead
Specialized infant seats are available but must be requested in advance to comply with safety standards.
Carry local cash for tips
While cards work widely, small local tips in cash are appreciated for drivers after longer transfers or tours.
