Discover South Africa with a rental car

South Africa is perfect for road trips – from scenic coastlines to mountain passes and safari parks. A rental car gives you the flexibility to reach remote areas and national parks.

  • Drive the famous Garden Route between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth

  • Visit Kruger National Park and spot the Big Five with your own vehicle

  • Explore the wine regions around Stellenbosch and Franschhoek

  • Discover the Drakensberg mountains and enjoy scenic hikes

  • Drive panoramic routes like Blyde River Canyon

The roads in South Africa are generally in good condition. You drive on the left, so extra attention is needed if you're used to driving on the right. Some roads, especially near nature reserves, may be unpaved.

Choose the rental car that suits your destination.
