What is the transportation system of South Africa like? Go Back

Distances are much bigger in SA then we are used to and having a car makes it much easier to travel around. For those working for example in areas outside the city centre it will almost be necessary to have a car.

Buying a car in South Africa is relatively expensive. Most (old) cars cost quite a bit of money, approximately 20.000 ZAR. This will not be a loss since you can resell your car when you leave South Africa.

There are a lot of possibilities for renting a car. Khaya can help you to find the cheapest one. Remember that you will need to have a credit card to rent a car and have an International Drivers license.

In South Africa you will need to drive on the left side of the road.

It is possible to get in contact with other interns to share a car, which will make the costs much lower for you.

Travelling through SA is easier by car, but you can do it without a car! Go to www.bazbus.co.za for the hop-on-hop-off possibilities, they travel to the most beautiful places in SA.
