Compare car hire U.S.A. prices with cheap car rental companies in South Africa. Remember to calculate for the exchange rate. Our local daily newspapers carry all the latest exchange rates, as do the bureau de change offices. At the time of writing the exchange rate was at 1 South African rand = 0.131456 U.S. dollars this price will obliviously change as we near the 2010 Soccer Cup
We also calculate petrol in litres not gallons in South Africa. Unlike the gas guzzling American cars, we make use of Japanese compacts for affordable commuting purposes. With the petrol price going as high as $3.339 a gallon, so Jeep Grand Cherokee, which gets 11 miles to the gallon in the city, would make no sense in Africa.

Our car rentals do have discounts for some German luxury sedans for rent and Mini busses and campers as well.
Our highways are narrower than the giant six lanes behemoths used in the USA, hence the smaller car and vehicles. Our term for pick-ups is “Bakkies” we cal them car not automobiles. Any valid U.S. drivers license is accepted in South Africa, provided: it bears the photograph and signature of the holder; is printed in English; and if the license is issued while the holder thereof was not permanently or ordinarily a resident of South Africa for the period thereof.
