Are you going to be on holiday in Durban around Christmas time? Like in most cities around the world, there’s much festive fun to be had this year – from beach parties and rock concerts, to delicious Christmas day lunches and more Christmas markets than you could possibly hope to visit over a weekend.

If you’ll be needing a rental car, our Highway Bakkie Hire vehicle hire fleet is sure to impress you! Once you’ve organised your wheels for the festive season, all that’s left to do is find one or two fun rental car adventure ideas around the greater Durban area:

Visit a Christmas Market

Not just a place to buy Christmas decorations, a Christmas market usually features all the hallmarks of a great outdoor market – fun, food, music and great locally-produced stuff to buy.

The Shongweni Christmas Market is a four-day affair that runs from the 15^th to the 18^th of December. Shop for everything from Christmas roasts and Christmas crackers, to clothing and nifty gadgets!

This article on www.durbanite.com lists a total of seven Christmas markets to attend in and around Durban during December 2017.

See a Live Band Playing

Love live music? Pack the family into your Durban rental car and mosey on down to the Umbilo Rhumbelow Theatre for three nights of rock’n good live music from some of Durban’s finest live musicians.

Following a formula that is bound to have you moving and shaking in no time, the live festive fare includes family Christmas sing-a-longs, as well as cover versions of some of the biggest hit songs from Fleetwood Mac, Dire Straits, and many more!

Enjoy a Very Merry Christmas Meal

If there’s one thing most people remember about their festive season, it’s how much they ate!
