East London is in South Africa's Eastern Cape province; its wider metropolitan area is referred to as Buffalo City. Car hire from East London Airport is the best way to see the spectacular Eastern Cape coastline; the airport is one of the closest to South Africa's Sunshine Coast, so-called because of its getting the most sunlight hours in the entire country. The Nahoon Footprints are casts of ancient human footprints which were found here, and are now housed in the East London Museum.

Shopping facilities are good here and Hemingways Mall is rated particularly highly. Those hiring a car from East London Airport will find the mall along the N2 motorway running north of East London.

East London Airport is just over 20 minutes' drive from the city centre; anyone wishing to head into the city will find that car rental from East London Airport is convenient and easy. Take the R72 coastal road into East London as the seaside views are especially amazing. The deep water harbour is a fantastic spot for seafood restaurants; while East London Museum is well worth a look for the haunting Nahoon Footprints, and the beaches are an essential part of your trip.

Rent a car from East London Airport and Ganoubie Beach is a short drive north, while nearby Nahoon Beach and Orient Beach are also well worth a visit.
