What kind of rental car should I get for Johannesburg?
Sure, it's possible to go and explore Johannesburg without a car. But with so much to see and do, having one will definitely make your trip more memorable. If you're eager to head out into the great outdoors, consider a vehicle with a little extra power. A full-size car or an SUV could be exactly what you need. A smaller car, like a mini or a compact, is a great choice for travelers heading off on shorter trips.

First of all, there's a wide variety of luxury rental vehicles available in Johannesburg. What you end up opting for is largely dependent on your budget and what you're planning to do. Prestige vehicles are all about comfort and class. If you're splashing out, why not grab an elite SUV, or perhaps a stylish mid-sized vehicle? On the other hand, if you're just after something to get you from A to B as efficiently as possible, stick with an economy compact vehicle (or something else that's unlikely to break the bank).
