How old do you have to be to rent a car in Tzaneen?
Generally, you need to be 18 years and over in Tzaneen. Be aware that most companies will apply a young renter surcharge.

What do you need to rent a car in Tzaneen?
In most cases, all you'll need is a driver's licence and credit card in your name when picking up your vehicle. Proof of coverage may also be needed if you choose to opt out of the company's insurance plan. Requirements are likely to differ between providers, so it's always a good idea to read the fine print.
What side of the road do you drive on in Tzaneen?
In Tzaneen and across South Africa, motorists drive on the left-hand side of the road. This alone can be daunting, but the driver's seat and some controls are also on the other side to what you're used to. For a safe journey, take things slow to begin with and allow extra time to get to your next stop.

Where can I find a Tzaneen car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Tzaneen providers will rent to drivers under 25 years old, and others won't. Age policies differ between suppliers, so you'll want to do some research. Also, find out if there are additional costs. Some businesses will pass on a surcharge to young drivers between 21 and 24. Make sure you read through the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
