Good to know

  • Check each provider's age requirements before booking your rental in South Africa. Rules can differ, and some restrictions or fees may apply if you're a younger driver. At the start of your search, simply uncheck the 'Driver aged between 25–70' filter and enter your age to explore your options.

  • If you're going away with the kids, check if you should add a child car seat to your Randburg car hire reservation. Whether local laws require them or not, they're always the safest way for youngsters to travel.

  • You'll need some documents when you pick up your ride. As a rule, bring a valid driver's licence, a credit card with enough funds to cover the excess (most companies don't accept debit cards), and another form of photo ID. Your booking confirmation will spell it all out.

  • Spend some time getting acquainted with your rental. Set up your seat and mirrors, test the lights and blinkers, and get used to how it handles before you set off. And don't forget to stick to the left side of the road in South Africa.

  • Keep within the local speed limits. Usually that's around 55kph in built-up areas and 110kph or so on highways, unless signed otherwise.

  • A blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit of 0.05% applies in South Africa. The only sure way to stay legal to drive is to skip the drinks.

  • One of the busiest times for traffic in this destination is around 7am. Make driving easier by avoiding peak periods in general.

  • You'll be using the South African rand (ZAR) for all your purchases throughout your trip. You may find it useful to carry a mix of cards and cash so you always have a backup option.

  • English is the language you'll hear most people speaking in this country.
