How to book the best car rental deals in Johannesburg

We’re frequently named as the most trusted travel search site out there. We scan hundreds of trusted travel providers and put it all in one place, allowing you to instantly compare car hire rates and then book with no fees. Here's how to get the most out of your Johannesburg car rental search.

Book now, cancel later

We clearly highlight car and van hire options in Johannesburg that have free cancellation. So you can bag the best deal with total flexibility to change your plans if you need to.

Rent a car in Johannesburg for a whole month

Want to hire a car for almost a month? Often, car rental companies in Johannesburg avoid costly admin in between pick-ups by hiring out cars for longer periods. So see if monthly car hire is cheaper than the three weeks you need it for by selecting 30 days. Try it now.

Book 3 weeks in advance

We crunched some numbers and found that most travellers bag the lowest daily rate when they book 3 weeks in advance. The cheapest month to hire a car in Johannesburg is July.

Compare fuel policies

To save money on topping up the tank as you take off in Johannesburg, look out for deals with a 'full to full' fuel policy, as opposed to a 'half-full to full' one.

Skip the queues

We call out keyless pick-up when you search for cars with us. No keys to pick up, means no queues. Just turn up at your preferred Johannesburg car hire location, hop in and hit the road.

Frequently asked questions

On average, hiring a car in Johannesburg will set you back around 40 € per day or 115 € per week. 
The cheapest car to rent in Johannesburg is a full-size pickup. The most popular is Mini, 4-5 doors.
The cheapest car hire companies in Johannesburg are currently Green Motion and U-Save.
Bagging the best car hire deal depends on when you book  – often, it pays to book your wheels as far in advance as possible. But according to our data, the cheapest month to rent a car in Johannesburg is currently July.
On average, around 115 €. But the best price we found for car hire for a week in Johannesburg is 60 €.
Based on everything we know about daily prices, the average cost to hire a car in Johannesburg for a whole month is 497 €.

Yes – you can easily find car hire companies that allow you to pick up your car in one place, and then drop it off in another. Just select ‘Return car to a different location’ when you search with us.
Public transport can only get you so far, and could be tricky to navigate with children or luggage. With your own set of wheels, you can go wherever you want, whenever you want, for as long as you want. And you'll be able to discover more outside of Johannesburg.
Most places – Johannesburg included – allow under 25s to rent a car as long as they provide a valid driver's license and the correct documentation. It may cost slightly more due to a higher insurance excess for young drivers.

Of course. Most major car hire companies like Green Motion, Carwiz and Woodford Car Hire offer baby and child seats as an add-on when you book.
Other travellers rated Europcar as the best overall in terms of experience.
We search the internet for all kinds of vehicle hire deals, including vans. But at the moment, we can't find any van hire in Johannesburg.
