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.
