Top Tips for Hiring a Cargo Van in Johannesburg
- If you’d like to make a delivery, move some items, or transport your loved ones and the equipment you’ll require to an outdoor escapade in Johannesburg, renting a cargo van is a decent move. This is because, with a cargo van, you’ll enjoy adequate loading space for your items. You’ll also enjoy a smoother drive in the narrow streets when driving one as opposed to when driving the larger moving trucks, given that Johannesburg cargo van rentals feature narrower dimensions and more relatable controls than other moving trucks.
- In Johannesburg, you’ll likely land at OR Tambo International Airport (JNB). Upon landing at this air transit hub, you can rent a cargo van from Green Motion, Woodcar Car Hire, and Hertz, car rental agencies known to offer clean and reliable Johannesburg cargo van rentals. The counters for the noted agencies are within the passenger terminal, a short distance from the baggage claim area. Since the demand for the Johannesburg cargo van rentals that they offer is ever high, if you’d like to hire a cargo van from any of the onsite car rental agencies, make your reservation in advance.
- To hire a cargo van in Jo’burg, the city of gold, you must be older than 21 years, have a driver’s license that you’ve held for at least two years, two valid forms of photo identity, and a credit card in your name. The driver’s license you provide must bear your photograph and signature and be printed in English. If your license is written in a language other than English, you must have an International Driver’s Permit. Note that if you’re below 25 years, you’ll likely pay more than older renters, considering that most Johannesburg cargo van rental providers apply an underage surcharge on young drivers.
- To achieve a smooth driving experience in Johannesburg, keep in mind that in this city, locals drive on the left-hand side of the street and pass other traffic on the right. Keep a healthy distance when driving behind minibus-taxis. They tend to be driven radically, especially in congested areas. At roundabouts, practice a mixture of cautious and aggressive driving. The law states that vehicles approaching from the right have the right of way. However, in roundabouts with minimal traffic police presence, this rule is disregarded, with many drivers treating roundabouts as a four-way stop. Lastly, note that jaywalking is rampant, especially in the inner city. It is not uncommon for pedestrians to try crossing a freeway. Some hop in front of vehicles without expecting to be hit, even when the distance isn’t as safe.
FAQs About Hiring a Cargo Van in Johannesburg
Can I drive my cargo van rental across the border?
With a cargo van rental, driving from Johannesburg into Swaziland, Lesotho, and Mozambique shouldn’t be difficult. However, ensure you contact your rental car company beforehand to know if you can use their vehicle and if you’re insured outside of South Africa and have the relevant documents.
Are there difficult times to drive a cargo van in Johannesburg?
The most difficult times to drive a cargo van in Johannesburg are from 6 am to 10 am and 3 pm to 6 pm. During these hours, the major roads in the city tend to be massively congested. If you have to drive during these hours, check your GPS beforehand to find the least congested routes you can use for your trip.
Are there any toll roads in Johannesburg?
Johannesburg is connected to several other towns and cities via toll roads. For instance, to travel from this city to Pretoria, you must go through six gantries (toll stations). Check with your agency if your car has an e-toll tag on the windscreen that’ll cater to the payments or if you’ll have to pay in cash or by card.
How does KAYAK find such low cargo van hire prices?
KAYAK compares cargo van hire prices from all major car hire companies such as Thrifty, Dollar, Enterprise, Hertz, Payless and more to find you the best deal.

Cons:
After we told them no insurance they put it on the paper work then when we pointed it out he had to start the paperwork over again. Originally issued a car with no gas and smelled like cigarettes badly. Had to unpack our backs and go all the way back to the rental center. No apology. Just a silent reissue of keys. Drop off was chaotic. No return recipet was issued.4,4 Mediocre

Pros:
The car was clean.Cons:
You will get charged unexplained fees that will double the quoted Kayak rate, including a "fuel service fee" that no one will disclose to you until it shows up on your receipt and credit card statement. I will not be renting with Avis again.10,0 Wonderful

It was a good car for the category I have selected.Cons:
The car had some noise in the wheels during the whole renting days, which I could not identify. I believe that if the car has gone through some check before being delivered, this slight problem could be fixed.Europcar

Pros:
Nothing. They we're almost impossible to get a hold of, couldn't look up any information on their computers, told us they would email us multiple times and never did. 0/10 would never recommend to anyone.Cons:
We tried to change vehicle travel dates multiple times, it was well within our travel policy but they said we had to do it on Kayak, kayak said we had to do it with them, when we circled back to them they said they can only give us a partial refund, they they said we need to talk to their special refund customer service department. They never got back to us, we called again, they said they would be contacting us within 24 hours. They never contacted us, we called again and they said we had to wait to hear back from their special department which weeks later has still not contacted us. Honestly this company seems like way more of a scam then an actual rental company. Avoid at all costs and go to another more reputable rental company.6,0 Okay

The staff was friendly and the car was nice.Cons:
The wait was quite long getting the car. I was told it was easy to see the gas station at the airport upon the return but I didn’t. Someone from another rental helped me find it and actually rode with me. And they charged my credit card a $1300 deposit but haven’t credited it yet as promised.4,4 Mediocre
