Driving in South Africa

South Africa has a well developed road network but the country is huge, so plan your car hire itinerary carefully so as to avoid fatigue.

• Any driving licence is accepted for car rental in South Africa as long as it bears a signature and photograph and is printed in English.
• In South Africa, driving is on the left and seat belts are compulsory.
• On the main roads and urban motorways the speed limit is generally 75mph, whilst 35mph is usual in built up areas.
• It's a good idea to carry plenty of cash or a credit card as you will often encounter toll roads when driving long distances.
