KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Pretoria

  • If you plan a visit to Pretoria, South Africa, consider doing yourself a favor by getting Pretoria car rentals to gain the flexibility of discovering several hidden gems and visiting many iconic landmarks. Pretoria has public transportation, but buses and trains operate on tight schedules. Besides, they are often crowded and noisy, making them uncomfortable. But with car rentals in Pretoria, comfort and convenience are guaranteed. You will conveniently drive to Transvaal Museum, Freedom Park, Voortrekker Monument, and Pretoria Zoo. Overall, car rentals in Pretoria let you explore unlimited locations.
  • Multiple airports serve flights to Pretoria. They include Pretoria Wonderboom Apt. Airport (PRY), Johannesburg OR Tambo Airport (JNB), and Lanseria International Airport (HLA). They are about 13 km (8 miles), 56 km (34.7 miles), and 63 km (39.1 miles) from the city center, respectively. If you arrive at PRY, the car rental desks are in the terminal building across from the baggage claim area. The car rental counters at JNB are at the north end of the dedicated rental car lot in the airport precinct. Travelers arriving at HLA can find rental counters on the ground floor in the multi-story parkade.
  • Generally, driving car rentals in Pretoria is manageable due to well-established roads within the city. But like in other cities worldwide, driving in Pretoria has its fair share of challenges, requiring you to remain attentive. Look out for pedestrians who may overlook traffic regulations and jaywalk. Keep a keen eye on commuter bus drivers who occasionally stop in the middle of the road when they sight potential passengers. Motorbikes use the same lanes as vehicles, so be careful with them as they may overlook traffic regulations.
  • Like other cities in South Africa, Pretoria experiences considerable traffic congestion during peak travel hours. Although most city roads are well-established and maintained, finding unpaved roads outside urban areas is unsurprising. Road construction also contributes to road delays. Many residents usually access the city with private vehicles. Typically, the city experiences traffic snarl-ups from 6:30 am to 9 am and 5 pm to 7 pm. Use alternative routes like Herbert Baker Street, Pretoria’s Church Street, or Duncan Street.

Everything worked out for us in the end, but that seemed to only be because we arrived at the rental place two hours before our reservation. When we arrived, the agent told us that they didn't have our vehicle available and she tried to get the five of us + all our luggage to squeeze into a smaller vehicle. When we declined that, she got on the phone with another branch and sent a driver to pick it up. All of that took about 2 hours. We ended up getting our rental on time, but I got the impression that if I had arrived on time, the vehicle would not have been there. They only sent someone to get it when we protested against what they were trying to offer us. The car itself and the drop-off at a different location were very good.
