Top Tips for Hiring an SUV in Johannesburg
- Choosing a Johannesburg SUV hire is a great choice if you want to discover the city with more comfort and autonomy, reaching many points of interest like Apartheid Museum and Gold Reef City Theme Park with efficiency. SUV hire in Johannesburg is popular with people with a variety of needs, from families with young children to friends travelling together, all who want to avoid time-consuming journeys on public transport and want a more pleasant driving experience. Due to the bigger storage space of SUVs, you can comfortably fit in luggage, buggies and toys.
- There are two main airports near Johannesburg at which you can find car hire agencies - the closer one to the city and the main port of entry is Johannesburg O.R. Tambo International Airport (JNB), located 20 km (12 miles) from the city. This is also a very popular airport to pick up your Johannesburg SUV hire. The city’s secondary airport is Lanseria Airport (HLA), located 55 km (34 miles) from Johannesburg.
- To drive safely in South Africa, it’s important to add a trusty GPS to your Johannesburg SUV hire to avoid getting lost. When setting your GPS route, always opt for the journeys on main roads and highways, rather than getting a shortcut through unknown neighbourhoods. It’s best to opt for the toll roads (in which road conditions are good and well maintained) rather than the non-toll roads, which might take you on small roads in poor conditions. Additionally, always keep to the main cities and tourist attractions, especially at night, and pay attention to your surroundings. Most locals don’t stop at red lights during the night, so if you’re driving outside Johannesburg and find yourself alone at a red light, look both ways and assess if it’s safe to cross.
- As the biggest city in South Africa, traffic in Johannesburg can become challenging during peak travel times, from 6:00 to 9:00 and 16:00 to 18:00. To ensure a more pleasant and stress-free driving experience, it’s advisable to refrain from driving during rush hour. If you must be on the road around these times, for instance, to go to the airport, then it’s wise to add at least 30min to your journey to account for any last-minute delays or disruptions.

FAQs About Hiring an SUV in Johannesburg
What are some locations in Johannesburg to hire SUVs?
For those arriving by plane, a more convenient option is to pick up your SUV at one of the airports in the city. O. R. Tambo Airport tends to be a more popular option because it’s closer to the city and offers more affordable rates, due to the bigger variety of car hire agencies and models. Lanseria Airport is also popular, offering many premium SUV models, but its distance from the city is a factor to take into account; you may end up spending more on petrol, which can be less cost efficient. Finally, it’s possible to find car hire agencies available in Johannesburg, but many of them aren’t in the city centre, so you’ll need to venture outside the tourist area to find them.
Where can I park in Johannesburg?
When looking for a place to park in the city, a good option is to look for a private car park that’s close to your hotel and use the official car parks of the main tourist attractions. It’s possible to find free street parking in Johannesburg; although, leaving your car on the street is not advisable for tourists who wish to park in the city centre. Spaces can be limited and you’ll likely find yourself having to walk to your destination. For overnight parking, a recommended option is to find a hotel that offers parking too.

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
