Selecting your perfect match depends on how much you want to spend and what activities you plan on doing.

Which car will you be sliding behind the wheel of this time?

In Limpopo, you’ll need to stick to the left side of the road. This means the steering wheel is on the right-hand side. If you’ve rented a ride with a manual transmission, you’ll have to get used to shifting gears with your left hand.

Usually, your rental car company will bill the amount of the fine to your credit card. Alternatively, the company may forward your contact details to local law enforcement agencies so they can issue a fine straight to you.
