What types of cars can I rent in Johannesburg?
Bustling city streets and tight parking spots are no hassle for an economy car --- the most commonly booked hire type in Johannesburg. Get behind the wheel of one of these and drive around traffic effortlessly. Reliable, affordable and with terrific mileage, these small rides pack plenty of punch. But Johannesburg can be explored in almost any type of rental you like. Compacts, premiums and SUVs are some other options to choose from.

Everyone knows that Johannesburg is one of the best getaways in Otsego County. But you'll also find plenty of other wonderful places to explore when you book a vehicle and head out on the open road. We've pulled together some tips to get your road trip off to a winning start:

  • You'll feel the vibrant spirit of a city bursting with life as soon as you pull into Mount Pleasant. Some 95 miles from Johannesburg, it has loads of awesome places to visit, like Soaring Eagle Casino and Resort.
  • Another city that's a hit with travellers is Traverse City, around 60 miles away. Front Street is just one of many reasons why people keep returning.

How old do you have to be to hire a car in Johannesburg?
The youngest age you can hire a vehicle in Johannesburg is 18. A surcharge for young drivers generally applies, so check before booking and budget for any extra costs. There could also be restrictions on the types of cars that can be rented by young drivers. For example, some companies will only hire out economy, compact and medium-sized cars to young motorists. Rules vary between suppliers, so be sure to read the fine print carefully.
What do you need to hire a car in Johannesburg?
The main things are your driver's license and a credit card in the same name. Many car hire companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of other coverage if you prefer to opt out. We recommend checking with your hire provider to avoid any problems.
What is the cheapest car rental in Johannesburg?
Johannesburg has had some happy hire car customers lately. The lowest daily rates recorded within the past seven days were £44 and £46. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.

Yes. Expedia partners with reputable providers that offer weekly and monthly hires for many categories of cars. Book one of our long-term car hire deals and discover every nook and cranny of Johannesburg --- or way beyond!
Where can I find a Johannesburg hire car if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the hire companies that are found in Johannesburg. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found an outlet 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 from the U.S, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence 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 form of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to hire the car must match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Some additional requirements for hiring a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many states in order to hire a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the car hire company before you go to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse rough terrain with a hire car. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
