The soccer world cup brought to light that Johannesburg has not got the transport infrastructure that European and American tourists are familiar with. The meter taxies wait like vultures to catch unsuspecting tourists, to overcharge them for their services.
Therefore car rental at Johannesburg O R Tambo airport branch is simply a must. The most popular rental companies have offices at the airport and friendly and informative staff is more than willing to cater a car rental deal for you needs. Even the most budget minded traveller can get an affordable vehicle to use during their vacation.

Traffic conditions in Johannesburg can be heavy during peak times and it is advisable to get a car that has a radio so that you can keep up to date with the traffic conditions. Radio 5 and Radio Highveld have road reports that keep drivers updated on road closures and alternate routes. This can be very beneficial when you have to be at a meeting or have a plane to catch. The other advantage is that the car rental companies have drop off parking zones at the airport parking lot, this saves time and money when you are in a hurry to move onto your next holiday destination.
