*daily rates in Richards Bay Airport based on a 1 day rental (24hr period) and for guidance purposes only.

Richards Bay Airport is ideally located in Richards Bay itself perfect for business travellers or workers in the coal industry.  It is possible to rent a car direct from the airport making it a convenient place to collect your car and begin your onward journey.

About Richards Bay Airport:

The airport is located just on the outskirts of the city making it a short drive in your rental car to your accommodation. Many visitors to the area may take a flight to Johannesburg or Tambo airport and from there, a connecting flight on South African Airways to Richards Bay.

Car Rental Richards Bay Airport

The airport itself is very small with a short runway. The size of the runway is the airport’s limiting factor. Should the planned expansion proceed the airport will be able to serve larger aircraft and therefore international flights. The airport has a small kiosk, providing you the opportunity to purchase light refreshments while you await your flight.  

Highlights of the area:

  • Richards Bay is situated on a 30 square kilometre lagoon. This provides one of the country’s largest harbours and is a beautiful place to observe daily life.
  • There are opportunities to go on a safari with the providers- Outdoor Africa
  • The Boardwalk shopping mall is a great little shopping mall where you will find some clothes shops and a lovely place to have a meal or simply enjoy a coffee.
  • Pelican Island is a beautiful spot to unwind and take in the natural beauty that is all around you. The beach is stunning and if running is your thing, why not take part in their weekly park run. A 5k run to the island and back to the club-house.
