What side of the road do you drive on in Downtown Johannesburg?
If you're renting a car in Downtown Johannesburg or planning a road trip in greater South Africa, you'll be driving on the left-hand side. Also, the steering wheel will be on a different side to what you're accustomed to in the U.S. This may take a while to get the hang of, so drive with extra caution.

Where can I find a Downtown Johannesburg car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to investigate the age policy of the Downtown Johannesburg rental providers you're considering. If you're under the age of 25, be mindful that some will charge extra costs. It's better to know about this before arriving at the desk so you can budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own terms and conditions for younger drivers, so do your research.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Downtown Johannesburg?
A comprehensive insurance plan is a good choice for your Downtown Johannesburg escape. That's why we recommend choosing collision protection while reserving your car rental with Expedia. This covers your vehicle from theft, vandalism and accident damage. Some destinations may need you to have a minimum level of liability insurance. It's possible that this is included in your rental price or your own auto insurance, so check what you're covered for and whether you need it.
Can I drive in Downtown Johannesburg with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in South Africa, then it's likely you'll need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be allowed to rent a car. It's also important to note that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll need to show your current license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some added requirements to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or over in most countries to rent a car. If you're younger than that, it may still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of vehicles available to rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before sliding behind the wheel. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on off-road areas with your rental car.
