How do I find the best car rental deals in Pietermaritzburg with Expedia?
Expedia makes it a cinch to compare rates, offers and rental providers, and to check reviews. Combine your Pietermaritzburg car rental with flight or hotel bookings to make even bigger savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Pietermaritzburg?
Rental car rules in Pietermaritzburg require drivers to be 18 and older. Are you a young driver? Some restrictions and surcharges may apply. Many rental suppliers impose what's known as a young renter surcharge, which is an extra fee to the cost of the rental car. Restrictions generally apply to the sorts of cars young people can rent as well. Age limits may differ between companies, so check before booking.
What do you need to rent a car in Pietermaritzburg?
Before you can take the wheel in Pietermaritzburg, you'll need a valid driver's license and a credit card in the same name. If you don't take out the rental company's insurance plan, you may also have to show proof of your own coverage. Rules may vary, so read the policy terms and conditions before you select a rental company.
What side of the road do you drive on in Pietermaritzburg?
In Pietermaritzburg, you'll need to drive on the left-hand side of the road. This alone can be daunting, but the driver's seat and some controls are also on the opposite side to what you're used to. To stay safe, take things slow at first and leave yourself extra time to reach your destination.
What is the cheapest car rental in Pietermaritzburg?
The lowest car rental price in Pietermaritzburg within the past seven days was $23 per day. The second best deal snapped up by happy travelers was $24. 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 rent a car for a month or longer in Pietermaritzburg?
Yes, which means you won't have to rebook a rental car mid-vacation. Visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip information and find a set of wheels to call your own for the length of your escape.
Where can I find a Pietermaritzburg car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver looking for a car rental in Pietermaritzburg, we suggest reading the terms and conditions of the various rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25, some may not. There may be additional costs if you're between 21 and 24 years of age. To escape any unwanted surprises at the rental counter, make sure you do your research.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Pietermaritzburg?
It's a good idea to have collision damage protection to safeguard your Pietermaritzburg rental car against accident damage, theft and vandalism. And with Expedia, you can purchase this insurance for your vehicle at the time of booking. Providing up to $35,000 in primary coverage, it also offers round-the-clock emergency help and a zero-dollar deductible if you need to make a claim. Have your plans changed? If you cancel your policy before your scheduled collection time, you'll receive a full refund.
Can I drive in Pietermaritzburg 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 get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be able 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 have to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some additional requirements to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or over in many 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 cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before you drive off the lot. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on off-road areas with a rental vehicle.
