Driving in South Africa:

South African roads are in excellent condition, but South Africa is a big country, not easily traversed in one day, so plan your journey carefully. If you are not used to traveling such long distances, plan stopovers for the nights and break the journey, as fatigue is a major cause of car accidents on South African roads. All distances and speeds are given in kilometres (km). Speed limits are indicated by signs and vary between freeways, small roads and urban areas.

South Africans drive on the left side of the road. Wearing a seat belt is compulsory. Driving under the influence of alcohol is illegal and punishable by law. A valid, English driver's license with a photograph is accepted in South Africa. If your license does not comply with these requirements, you should obtain an international Driving Permit before your departure to South Africa.

Petrol (gasoline) filling stations:

Filling stations are conveniently situated throughout the country. Unleaded petrol is available. These filling stations are serviced by petrol attendants and most are open 24 hours a day. Petrol is paid for using cash or a specially issued petrol card. No credit card payments are accepted at filling stations; however, most filling stations do have banks on the premises.

Mobile Phone - Prosecution Warning:

It is illegal to operate a mobile phone while driving in South Africa. Please purchase a hands free kit or pull over.

Driver's License:

All drivers must be over the age of 23 years and be able to produce, at the time the contract is signed, a current unendorsed driver's license that they have held for no less than 2 years.

Transport in South Africa:

Transport in South Africa is adequate, but not up to international standards. Renting a car is the best option when traveling in South Africa, and the most enjoyable way to see the country and all its wonders.

Please Note: The reservation is only confirmed once we have notified you.
