Top Tips for Hiring a Van in Johannesburg
- Johannesburg people carrier hire is the perfect vehicle for transporting your extended family while on holiday in the South African capital city. In addition to excellent seating capacity and increased cargo space, you also own the freedom to move when you want, independent of public transport and its limiting schedules. The Apartheid Museum is one of the city’s main attractions about 7.5 km south of the downtown area and afterwards you can savour the view and a well-deserved lunch break atop Northcliff Hill some 16 km north of the city centre via M5/Beyers Naude Drive.
- O. R. Tambo International Airport (JNB) and Lanseria International Airport (HLA) are the most convenient locations for visitors to collects a people carrier hire in Johannesburg. Several providers have offices at each location including majors like Hertz, Europcar and Avis in addition to some locals ones like Tempest Car Hire and First Car Rental. Follow the directions from International Arrivals, or seek assistance from the Help Desk at your airport to locate the offices. You should know the minimum age to rent a car in South Africa is 18, and you must hold a valid driving licence for at least one year, but most major providers levy charges on drivers below the age of 25.
- International visitors to Johannesburg will need to present a passport and return ticket along with a valid domestic driving licence and an additional form of picture-ID to obtain a people carrier hire, and it’s always our recommendation that you travel with an International Driving Permit if you have one. Also have your booking confirmation details and have the same card used to secure the reservation handy when you arrive at the provider location. All major credit cards are approved for payment and in some cases debit cards carrying the Visa or MasterCard logos may be used, so check with your provider when making your booking.
- Johannesburg’s high concentration of major highways downtown accounts for its famous traffic congestion during the am rush hours from approx. 7am-10am and most afternoons from around 3pm-6:30pm. If you’re heading in/out of the city, we recommend adjusting your travel schedule to avoid major slowdowns and have a sat-nav system in the vehicle to find alternate routes when necessary. During the peak summer months from December-February, expect moderate/heavy traffic along the R24 artery from O. R. Tambo International Airport inbound to the city centre. Tie-ups should also be anticipated along the M1 highway to & from Johannesburg South, as well as the M1 and M2 as you travel east/west through the city centre.

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

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
