Car Hire Johannesburg

Q: What do you need to rent a car in Johannesburg?

Most rental companies will need these two things — your driver's license and credit card. If you'd prefer to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up the keys.
