What do you need to rent a car in Hillcrest?
You'll generally require a valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name when picking up the car. You may also need proof of coverage if you'd like to opt out of the company's insurance plan. Rules often differ between rental suppliers, so it's a good idea to check while booking.
What side of the road do you drive on in Hillcrest?
If you're renting a car in Hillcrest or planning a road trip in greater South Africa, you'll be driving on the left.
