• 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.
