Drivers with a valid license aged 18 and above can rent a car in Johannesburg. While some suppliers may be willing to accommodate drivers younger than 18 expect an extra fee. Find out what ages the young driver surcharge applies to, and associated costs, before making your reservation. Providers also restrict the types of cars young drivers can rent.

What do you need to rent a car in Johannesburg?

Where can I find a Johannesburg car rental if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to investigate the age policy of the Johannesburg holiday home suppliers you’re considering. If you’re under 25 years old, some outlets will charge extra costs. It’s better to know about this before collecting the vehicle so you can budget accordingly. Every holiday home car company has its own terms and conditions for young drivers, so be sure to do your research.
Can I drive in Johannesburg with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license issued in the U.S, you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S., know that you’ll also have to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the car must match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local regulations, and with the car rental company before you travel to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you leave the lot to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or go off-roading with your car rental. Please read the regulations before booking!
