Useful information:

• For telephone numbers and addresses: dial 1023
• For taxi’s dial: 434-44 44 for Cape Town Marine Taxis
• You can get VAT back if you’re from abroad. Keep all receipts and claim
  back at the airport. If you’re shopping at the Waterfront, you can get a
  Waterfront cheque and therefore saving time at the airport.
• "Parking attendants" will "look after" your car if you’re parking
   somewhere. They will try get some form of acknowledgement from you
  (so you recognise their face) when you park and expect to be tipped on
  return. You are not obliged to tip however it is acceptable to give them
  a few rand.
• Tipping is usually not included and is around 10-15%.
• There is a tourist information centre at the Waterfront in the shopping
   center.
