Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Gauteng car reservation?
If you need to move your plans around, almost all bookings qualify for a total refund. Just notify us more than six hours before picking up the car. Scan your rental policy for any exemptions. Your booking details will have more details, or simply click through to our Customer Service Portal for more info.
What types of cars can I rent in Gauteng?
Book a mini in Gauteng and explore the sights in the most booked car here. From awesome fuel-efficiency to their nifty size, these rides are a top choice for the urban adventurer. Zip around the city with minimal fuss and maximum fun. There’s no reason you have to stick to small though. Why not take things up a level and choose a full-size or even a luxury vehicle?
How do I find the best car rental deals in Gauteng with Expedia?
Finding the best deal on your Gauteng rental car is a piece of cake with Expedia. Choose your preferred car class, add some details and compare the offers across popular suppliers. Why not add flights and hotels to your booking? You’ll score terrific discounts when you combine your bookings into a package.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Gauteng?
In Gauteng, the requirement is generally 18 years of age and over. Most companies will charge additional fees for young drivers, which can vary depending on the rental location. Rental policies for young drivers may restrict certain vehicles, such as large cars, and require comprehensive insurance. It’s a good idea to read the fine print carefully before booking your wheels.
What do you need to rent a car in Gauteng?
While requirements may differ between outlets, the two things you’ll need are a current driver’s license and a credit card in the same name. You don’t need to take out insurance with your rental company. However, proof of alternative coverage may be required.
Can I drive in Gauteng with my U.S. Driver's license?
You can. But it’s not hard to arrange an International Driving Permit, so we suggest getting one. This permit lets you legally drive in most countries, so you’ll have peace of mind while you’re cruising around Gauteng.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Gauteng?
Yes, so you won’t need to rebook a rental car halfway through your vacation. Head to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your information and find a set of wheels that’s all yours for the duration of your escape.
Where can I find a Gauteng car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental suppliers, so you’ll have to do a little research. Found a Gauteng outlet that does rent to drivers under 25? That’s great! Just keep in mind that extra fees often apply to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you’re looking at should have all the details you need.
