Driving in Johannesburg: What to expect on the road
Documents you'll need You'll need your driver's license, passport, and a credit card to rent a car in Johannesburg. Most travelers can use their regular license. If it isn't in English, you may need an International Driving Permit (IDP). Rental companies also check that your identification matches your booking details. |
Navigating city driving Johannesburg uses wide highways and busy intersections. Highways link suburbs and business areas, though traffic is heavy at peak times. Navigation apps help you avoid slow routes, construction zones, and unfamiliar areas when planning longer trips. |
Tolls, emissions zones, and charges Some major routes around Johannesburg use toll roads. Tolls are clearly marked and paid electronically or at booths. There are no emissions zones. Always follow posted limits and watch for speed cameras on main routes. |
Parking your car in Johannesburg Parking is easiest in secure parking lots. Street parking is less common in busy areas, and many drivers prefer guarded parking at malls. Always lock your car, avoid leaving valuables visible, and follow local safety advice. |
Finding fuel or charging points Fuel stations are easy to find on main roads. Many gas stations include small shops, and EV charging stations in Johannesburg are mainly at malls and business parks. Top up regularly if you're driving longer distances outside the city. |
Local driving style and tips Drivers can be assertive on multi-lane roads. Keep left unless overtaking, pass on the right, and approach four-way stops with patience. Keep windows closed in slow traffic and stay alert at intersections and traffic lights. |
