What does SHUTTLE BUS mean?
SHUTTLE BUS is an option which some rental car agencies offer in order to pick up the car. On our website, you can select a local supplier directly located at the airport. However, SHUTTLE BUS is a free bus or minibus service provided by the local car rental agency. The bus can be easily found in the front of the arrival hall and will take you to the car rental office in order to pick up your car. If you have any difficulties with finding the SHUTTLE BUS of your rental car agency on arrival, please call the telephone number from the local company on your car rental voucher. They will instruct you on how to find the bus and arrive at the office.
What is the fuel policy of the car rental company in Johannesburg?
The fuel policy depends on the rental car supplier. They have it written clearly in the terms and conditions shown on our website. There is also a filter option to choose which fuel policy you prefer. The most common fuel policy is FULL TO FULL - you will receive the car with the fuel tank. To avoid fuel charges, you will need to return it with the same amount of fuel as it was given. The missing fuel will be charged on return REPURCHASE FUEL - the car will be supplied with a full tank for which you will be charged at the rental desk. You can use as much fuel as need. No refund will be given on unused fuel. Please, always check the fuel policy before you decide to rent the car.
Are the cars non smoking or I can choose option for smokers?
All our cars are non-smoking and there is no possibility to choose a car where you can smoke in. Why? This rule is mainly settled up due to your safety and comfort. In many countries it is forbidden to smoke when driving and if the local police stop you can get a high fine. Hot ash from the cigarette can destroy the car seat or other parts of the car when falls on the upholstering. It also leaves a very unpleasant smell which is very difficult to remove and therefore forbidden. Other customers can refuse to take a car like this.
For how long I need to hold my drivers license in order to rent a car in Johannesburg?
The most suppliers require a valid drivers license for at least one year. Some agencies can ask you to provide a drivers license which is valid for more, for instance, two or even three years. We always strongly recommend our clients to see the terms and conditions for selected agency and car and read them carefully. At the time of rental, your driver license needs to have the required time of validity. This is a mandatory document and if you fail to provide it, the agent refuses to give you the car due to an invalid drivers license.
Can I add an additional driver to my booking?
Yes, the additional driver can be added to your reservation on arrival to the local office. Some of the local suppliers charge an additional cost. Please, be advised that the cost of the service depends on the local car rental supplier and can be different for each agency. In order to see the prices for the additional driver, please check the terms and conditions for this particular quote. All additional drivers must reach age restrictions and provide a valid drivers license on arrival to the local office. Also, the additional driver is obligated to present an international driver´s license if it is required. All drivers must be presented at the local office at the moment of picking up the car.
