Top Tips for Hiring a Pickup Truck in Johannesburg
- South Africa’s City Of Gold is one of the most exciting, exhilarating and sometimes even hair-raising places to drive – which is why Johannesburg pick-up truck hire is a great solution for your car hire needs. A city with a versatile terrain, fluctuating suburbs of extreme wealth and poverty, roads that lead to mountainous beauty within one hour and affluent skyscrapers on the horizon, pick-up truck hire gives you the opportunity to truly explore this historically rich city with some of the friendliest people in the world. Take a road trip out to Magaliesburg and see some indigenous flora and fauna on the outskirts of the city, or test your truck's power by visiting Clarens, Dullstroom or the beautiful Atlantic Ocean beaches of Durban.
- With your Johannesburg pick-up truck hire, you will find the main airport of the city, OR Tambo International Airport (JNB), offers a wide range. This large, sophisticated airport boasts a slick interior, and you will find friendly staff waiting to get you on the road. Car hire companies Keddy, Hertz, Europcar and First Car Rental are stocked up on pick-up trucks and situated on the ground floor of the International or Domestic Arrivals terminal.
- Driving your Johannesburg pick-up truck hire will be a lot of fun, but you should definitely know a few things about this city's roads. The motorways are in great condition, as are most of the urban roads, but roadblocks are very common. Mobile phone use is a big no and you will get an immediate fine. You may be tempted to speed with the power of a pick-up, but the speed limit of 60 km/h in built-up areas, between 80 km/h and 100 km/h on outlying roads and 120 km/h on the motorways should be respected. Use the left-hand side of the road, and the driver and all passengers must be buckled up at all times.
- As Johannesburg’s public transport system is not up to scratch, the roads are very busy at most hours of the day and a lot of the city residents use cars. The minivan taxis are opportunistic drivers who are a law unto themselves. They take the majority of lower-income residents to work, so the roads are highly congested with these vehicles. They should be avoided if possible. Traffic congestion is a problem in many areas during rush hour, particular the inner city and the suburbs of Sandton, which acts as a more sophisticated ‘second city’.
- 25% of our users found a pickup truck hire in Johannesburg for R1 589 or less
- Book your pickup truck hire in Johannesburg at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- October is typically the cheapest month to hire a pickup truck in Johannesburg, with prices around R35 per day. The most expensive month is March, with average prices of R57 per day.

Jun 2017
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

Pros:
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.Sixt

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 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
