Rules can vary, so read the contract terms and conditions before you choose a rental supplier.
What side of the road do you drive on in Potchefstroom?
If you're renting a car in Potchefstroom or planning a road trip around South Africa, be prepared to drive on the left-hand side. Also, the steering wheel will be on the opposite side of what you're accustomed to in the U.S. This may feel unfamiliar at first, so take things slow to begin with.
