My Car

Get ready to swap summer for winter and the monsoons for spring! Indian travelers to the country will be greeted by seasons that are unusual to them at that point of the year.

Driving in South Africa

We drive on the left-hand of the road with our seatbelts tightened and our phones on silent. The speed limit is in kilometers per hour, with urban speed limits at 60 kmph. National highways have a speed limit of 120 kmph. But keep an eye out for signs that indicate the speed limit!

Fueling your trip

At the fuel station, a petrol attendant will fill your car, check tyres, oil and water, and clean your windows if you ask. It’s customary to give a small tip of around R5 to the petrol attendant. Most fuel stations accept major credit cards.

Driver’s licence

You may use a valid driver’s licence issued in your own country if it has a photograph, the signature of the holder and is in English. Otherwise, it’s best to obtain an international driving licence. Keep it handy while driving!

Ridesharing

Traveling within South African cities is easy with ride hailing apps like Uber, Bolt, InDriver, Taxi Live Africa and Yookoo Rider. For a hassle-free trip, you can also hire cars for specific durations.

Cash

Many of the national roads are tolled and these toll gates accept credit cards and cash. When you park in cities or towns, a parking attendant in a luminous bib might approach you in exchange for keeping an eye on your car. Once again, a tip is customary.
