Cheap First Car Rental in Johannesburg

Car rentals from First in Johannesburg are charged per day. If you rent for more than 24 hours, you will be charged for an additional day, so plan accordingly.

If you're traveling with pets, confirm the rental company's pet policy before booking. Some companies allow pets but may have specific fees or restrictions, so it’s best to clarify in advance.

When renting a car, understand the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy means you return the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' means you return it with the same level of fuel. Full-to-Full is often more cost-effective.

Always keep your rental agreement, identification, and insurance information easily accessible during your rental period. This can help resolve any issues quickly.

Select a pickup location that is convenient for you. Some rental companies offer locations within the airport for quick access, while others may require shuttle transportation.

Choose car hire suppliers with high ratings, as these often indicate better service, newer cars, and more convenient pickup locations. For Johannesburg, we have car hire deals from 25 suppliers. Among them, First has a rating of 4.3, Tempest has a rating of 4.7, Keddy by Europcar has a rating of 4.7 and Firefly has a rating of 4.6.

When renting a car in Johannesburg, choose a car rental deal with a “Full-to-Full” or “Same-to-Same” fuel policy from suppliers like First. These policies ensure you only pay for the fuel you use, helping you avoid unnecessary costs. While a “Full-to-Empty” policy might seem convenient, it can often be more expensive if you don’t use all the fuel.

If you plan to share driving, check if the rental company allows a second driver and whether there are additional fees. Some companies offer free second driver options under certain conditions.
