KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Polokwane

  • Using a car hire in Polokwane allows you to explore most parts of this beautiful town and other parts of South Africa. Driving a hire car allows you to visit anywhere, anytime, without limitations, providing a seamless travel experience. Additionally, it is cheaper to hire a car in Polokwane, if you are with your family, compared to using different means of transportation. Drive your hire car and visit neighbouring towns such as Witbank, 220 km (136.7 miles) away from Polokwane and Carolina, which is 251 km (155 miles) away.
  • When flying to Polokwane, you will use the Polokwane International Airport (PTG), 5.3 km (3.29 miles). While there are several public transport options, they are not as convenient as a hire car. The airport has many car hire agencies, located outside the terminal, in the car hire building. These hire cars cut across a range of prices, so you can find something that fits your needs and budget. Choose and compare offerings from First, Keddy, Europcar, Avis, Budget, and Hertz.
  • Using car hire in Polokwane is not all a bed of roses. While the roads are generally in good condition, several secondary and rural roads may have potholes, so ensure you are alert when driving. Additionally, you can experience traffic congestion as this is a growing town. We also advise that you watch out for pedestrians when they are crossing the road, although jaywalking is strictly forbidden in the country.
