Top Tips for Hiring a Van in Johannesburg
- Johannesburg people carrier hire is the perfect vehicle for transporting your extended family while on holiday in the South African capital city. In addition to excellent seating capacity and increased cargo space, you also own the freedom to move when you want, independent of public transport and its limiting schedules. The Apartheid Museum is one of the city’s main attractions about 7.5 km south of the downtown area and afterwards you can savour the view and a well-deserved lunch break atop Northcliff Hill some 16 km north of the city centre via M5/Beyers Naude Drive.
- O. R. Tambo International Airport (JNB) and Lanseria International Airport (HLA) are the most convenient locations for visitors to collects a people carrier hire in Johannesburg. Several providers have offices at each location including majors like Hertz, Europcar and Avis in addition to some locals ones like Tempest Car Hire and First Car Rental. Follow the directions from International Arrivals, or seek assistance from the Help Desk at your airport to locate the offices. You should know the minimum age to rent a car in South Africa is 18, and you must hold a valid driving licence for at least one year, but most major providers levy charges on drivers below the age of 25.
- International visitors to Johannesburg will need to present a passport and return ticket along with a valid domestic driving licence and an additional form of picture-ID to obtain a people carrier hire, and it’s always our recommendation that you travel with an International Driving Permit if you have one. Also have your booking confirmation details and have the same card used to secure the reservation handy when you arrive at the provider location. All major credit cards are approved for payment and in some cases debit cards carrying the Visa or MasterCard logos may be used, so check with your provider when making your booking.
- Johannesburg’s high concentration of major highways downtown accounts for its famous traffic congestion during the am rush hours from approx. 7am-10am and most afternoons from around 3pm-6:30pm. If you’re heading in/out of the city, we recommend adjusting your travel schedule to avoid major slowdowns and have a sat-nav system in the vehicle to find alternate routes when necessary. During the peak summer months from December-February, expect moderate/heavy traffic along the R24 artery from O. R. Tambo International Airport inbound to the city centre. Tie-ups should also be anticipated along the M1 highway to & from Johannesburg South, as well as the M1 and M2 as you travel east/west through the city centre.
- Book your people carrier hire in Johannesburg at least 4 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- July is typically the cheapest month to hire a van in Johannesburg, with prices around AED 61 per day. The most expensive month is December, with average prices of AED 78 per day.

Cons:
I arranged for a 5 am pickup. There was no shuttle. I was then waiting for the office to open at 6am as was posted at the office. By 6:10 there was still no one. I rented a vehicle from Avis. I will not be using hertz again.10.0 Wonderful
