Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Johannesburg?

Can I hire a car from O.R. Tambo Intl. Airport (JNB)?

What happens if I need to cancel my Johannesburg car reservation?
There are always times when even our best-laid plans get upended. That's why we provide your money back on most reservations if you notify us a minimum of six hours prior to the scheduled collection time. Remember to double-check the hire agreement — sometimes it's not offered. Can't find anything there? Our Customer Service Portal has more useful information.
What types of cars can I rent in Johannesburg?
Book a mini in Johannesburg and explore the sights in the most booked car category here. From awesome fuel economy to their nifty size, these rides are a top choice for the urban explorer. Motor around the city with minimal fuss and maximum fun. There's nothing to say you have to stick to something small though. Why not take things up a level and choose an intermediate or even a premium vehicle?
Where can I go on a road trip from Johannesburg?
Book a set of wheels, pick up the keys and prepare to discover all Johannesburg has to offer. But with so many places to visit in the surrounding areas, don't let that be the end of the road! Set your navigation system to some of the other intriguing places in the region:

  • Around 55 miles from Johannesburg, Rustenburg is a must-do for many visitors. With top sights such as Ten Flags Theme Park, there's no shortage of things to see and do here.
  • About 55 miles away, Middelburg is another location worth sticking on your travel itinerary. Be sure to check out Middelburg Mall during your visit.
  • Put some distance between you and the fast pace of the city at Gods Window. Approximately 200 miles from Johannesburg, it's a wonderful place to get your fill of nature.

How old do you have to be to hire a car in Johannesburg?
Hire vehicle rules in Johannesburg require drivers to be 18 and over. Are you a younger driver? A few surcharges and restrictions may apply. Many hire suppliers impose what is known as a young renter surcharge, which is an extra fee to the rental car cost. Restrictions generally apply to the classes of cars young people can rent as well. Age limits may vary between outlets, so check before you book.
What do you need to hire a car in Johannesburg?
Your driver's license and a credit card in the same name are necessities. Opting out of the company's insurance plan? If that's the case, you may need proof of your own coverage. Rules may differ from rental company to rental company, so have a thorough read of your policy.
What is the cheapest car hire in Johannesburg?
Based on prices within the past seven days, you could've taken the wheel of a hire car for just £21 per day. The second lowest daily rate on offer in Johannesburg was £23. 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.
Can I hire a car for a month or longer in Johannesburg?
Yes, so you won't have to rebook a hire car halfway through your holiday. Visit our long-term car hire deals page, enter your trip information and secure a ride that's all yours for the duration of your getaway.
Where can I find a Johannesburg hire car if I am younger than 25?
Whether you can hire a car under the age of 25 in Johannesburg often depends on the hire provider you select. Some businesses apply a surcharge for young customers aged between 21 and 24 years, however others may not apply any additional fees for this age group. Ensure you understand the terms and conditions of your prospective hire car dealer to avoid any surprise charges when collecting your car.
