Car rental in Johannesburg

There are generally no problems with finding parking spaces in the city. You can find free parking at any time of the day. There are both paid and free car parks, but in a large city paid parking dominates. The higher the quality of the car park, the higher the cost: multi-storey parking will cost the driver 5 rand / h, while simple parking costs 2-4 rand / h.

In the city and beyond, it is necessary to observe certain limits that depend on the type and location of the road:

• for urban roads, the maximum limit is 60 km / h;
• when leaving the city on main roads, you can increase your speed to 100 km / h;
• higher speeds (120 km / h) are only permitted on motorways.

Additional restrictions may be in place on some roads, and these must not be ignored.

Different countries have different rules on the maximum permitted blood alcohol level for drivers. Some apply the strictest possible standards, completely forbidding drivers to consume alcoholic beverages. In many states almost no restrictions are in place. As for South Africa, in Johannesburg the maximum blood alcohol level is 0.5 ppm on average.

There are no toll road sections within the city itself. However, if you plan to travel outside Johannesburg during the holidays, you should familiarise yourself with the map of toll roads. These include some motorways and national roads. The cost of travel can vary significantly; the average price is in the range of 0.5-7 dollars. You can pay by card or in cash.
