Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a car from Gaylord, MI (GLR-Gaylord Regional)?
Enterprise is a quick commute from the terminal and the only car rental option. Lock in your set of wheels sooner rather than later to avoid missing out.
What happens if I need to cancel my Johannesburg car reservation?
Cancelling your rental car at least six hours before pickup should allow for your money back. However, this is not always a given. It's worth looking through your booking confirmation and cancellation policy. Still can't find the answer? Jump onto our Customer Service Portal.

Take the wheel of a compact car in Johannesburg and you'll be in great company. The most popular type of rental car, these rides are easy on the hip pocket, good on gas and a snap to park.

  • Make tracks to Mount Pleasant for an excellent sightseeing adventure. Roughly 153 kilometres from Johannesburg, it's home to loads of inspiring attractions, including Soaring Eagle Casino and Resort.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Johannesburg?
Rental car rules in Johannesburg require drivers to be 18 and older. Are you a young driver? Some restrictions and surcharges may apply. Rental outlets impose what's known as a young renter surcharge, which is an extra fee to the cost of the rental car. Restrictions generally apply to the categories of cars available to young people too. Age limits may vary between suppliers, so check before you book.
What do you need to rent a car in Johannesburg?
Be prepared to present a valid driver's licence and a credit card when you get to the rental counter. Prior to the pickup date, check with your rental provider whether anything else is needed. For example, you may also need to provide proof of insurance.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Johannesburg?
Expedia makes it a snap to find a reliable long-term rental in Johannesburg. Simply head to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip information and compare your options.
Where can I find a Johannesburg car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental companies, so be prepared to do a bit of shopping around. Found a Johannesburg supplier that does rent to under 25s? Great! Just bear in mind that a surcharge often applies to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're interested in will have all the details you need.
