Where can I find a Johannesburg hire car if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the car rental companies that are in Johannesburg. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found a supplier that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, take note that extra fees may apply. Conduct some research into what those charges could be before booking your hire car.
Can I drive in Johannesburg with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license issued in the U.S, you may be required to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before hiring a car. If you find that an IDP is required, be aware that you'll also have to show your current driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, your credit card used to hire the car must match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Other things you should know about hire cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many states to hire a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as the hire car website before you book to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, you typically can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse off-road areas with your hired car. Please read the regulations before booking!
