Before driving away in Johannesburg, thoroughly inspect the car for any damage. Document any existing damage with photos or video to avoid disputes later on.

Familiarize yourself with local habits to enhance your safety and compliance on the road.

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.

Knowing where to park can save you both time and money; check for fees and space.

If you have a specific vehicle in mind, opt for rentals that guarantee your chosen car type. This ensures that you receive the vehicle you expect, rather than being offered an alternative.

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to Johannesburg, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70
