KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Polokwane

  • Using a car hire in Polokwane allows you to explore most parts of this beautiful town and other parts of South Africa. Driving a hire car allows you to visit anywhere, anytime, without limitations, providing a seamless travel experience. Additionally, it is cheaper to hire a car in Polokwane, if you are with your family, compared to using different means of transportation. Drive your hire car and visit neighbouring towns such as Witbank, 220 km (136.7 miles) away from Polokwane and Carolina, which is 251 km (155 miles) away.
  • When flying to Polokwane, you will use the Polokwane International Airport (PTG), 5.3 km (3.29 miles). While there are several public transport options, they are not as convenient as a hire car. The airport has many car hire agencies, located outside the terminal, in the car hire building. These hire cars cut across a range of prices, so you can find something that fits your needs and budget. Choose and compare offerings from First, Keddy, Europcar, Avis, Budget, and Hertz.
  • Using car hire in Polokwane is not all a bed of roses. While the roads are generally in good condition, several secondary and rural roads may have potholes, so ensure you are alert when driving. Additionally, you can experience traffic congestion as this is a growing town. We also advise that you watch out for pedestrians when they are crossing the road, although jaywalking is strictly forbidden in the country.
  • Depending on various factors, the roads in Polokwane can get congested. The traffic can, however, get notorious during rush hour when people leave for and from work. Typically, this is between 06:30 to 08:30 and 16:30 to 18:30 on weekdays. Thus, avoid using car hire in Polokwane during these hours, as you might get stuck in traffic for a while. Additionally, plan your routes and travel times accordingly to avoid peak traffic periods.
  • Small rental cars in Polokwane are around 49% cheaper than other car types, on average

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Polokwane?

    It is advisable that when hiring a Polokwane car hire, you pick a car that suits your travel needs. With the town having narrow roads, a compact or mid-size vehicle would be the best pick. If you plan on taking long road trips, a small car will provide good fuel efficiency. Additionally, with a compact car, you can easily find parking spots in tight spaces when visiting attraction sites. Explore other options, however, if you have a big family and require more space for your luggage. In this case, an SUV would be ideal.

  • What’s the speed limit in Polokwane?

    The speed limit in Polokwane is typically 60 km/h (37 mph) in built-up areas and urban zones, which you will see indicated on road signs. The speed limit is 120 km/h (75 mph) when driving on highways or open roads outside urban areas. The speed limit reduces for certain special areas with high pedestrian activities, such as school zones, where the limit is 40 km/h (25 mph). Be on the lookout for speed limit signage when driving your hire car on different roads. These speed limit signs guide you when driving on unfamiliar streets.

  • Where are the best places to park in Polokwane?

    In Polokwane, there are several options for parking. There are designated car parks available in the town centre and close to popular attractions. You’ll also find some hotels and accommodations in town providing on-site parking for their guests. Zone 4 Park charges around 48.67 ZAR (2 GBP) between 1 h and 2 h parking. On-street parking is also available in certain areas, but be sure to check for any parking regulations and restrictions. Thus, consider parking your car in on-street car parks if you just need to step into town on foot.
