Soweto Guide

Just to the southwest of the South African city of Johannesburg lies the fashionable district of Soweto. This neighbourhood has recently become the place to see and be seen and on weekends hordes of young South Africans find their way here. There are plenty of places to stay in this neighbourhood and a good range of companies providing car hire in Soweto.

Soweto is a popular area with people who like to party as there are a number of excellent places to drink and dance. Food lovers can eat their fill in one of the area's trendy restaurants and indulge in a spot of people watching people heading to a bar for a quite drink or absorbing the atmosphere in one of Soweto's clubs.

One of the most popular attractions near Soweto is Orlando Stadium, which regularly hosts football matches. Opened on 22 November 2008, this 40,000 seat stadium is home to the Moroka Swallows, Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs. It is possible to drive to Orlando Stadium in around 15 minutes and visitors who have already tracked down cheap car hire in Soweto will be able to get here by following the Klipspruit Valley Road.

Of course, one of the main reasons for choosing to spend time in Soweto is that it is situated so close to the city of Johannesburg. In fact, visitors can simply pick up car rental in Soweto and drive into the very heart of the city in just over half an hour. This means that visitors to South Africa can experience the full benefits of being close to the city without having stay right in the centre.

What most people want to know

The following questions and answers are a selection of the most popular questions. If you do not find the answer to your question, have a look at the Frequently Asked Questions page or contact us.

Is Carrentals.co.uk the cheapest?

Yes, we offer a guarantee of the lowest price - because we compare various retailers, we can always offer you the best price in town.

 What do I need to do when picking up a car?

To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver. Keep in mind that the local rental company will reserve a certain amount on your credit card as a deposit. This requires the PIN code for your credit card. If your driver's license is foreign (for example, in Chinese), you must bring a translation with you. Only your original passport and driver's license will be accepted - a copy is not sufficient.

 Are there any additional costs?

In general, our rates are all-inclusive. Should there be any additional costs, our booking department will get in touch with you before issuing the invoice. Should you object, you can always cancel your reservation with no obligations attached (at least 48 hours in advance).

What kind of insurance is applicable to my car rental?

In general, Liability Insurance, Fire Insurance, All-Risks Insurance and Theft Insurance are included in the cost of your rental car.

 What is a worry-free label?

Only rental companies with a high level of customer satisfaction are eligible to be included in our Worry-Free selection. This rate includes excess cover and unlimited kilometres. Your vehicle will be provided and must be returned with a full tank of fuel. With a vehicle from our Worry-Free selection, you can travel with peace of mind and no hidden costs.

 How can I change or cancel my reservation?

You can cancel your reservation through "My Account". We recommend contacting us by phone if your changes to your booking or cancellation takes place at short notice (48 hours or less).

 When will I get a confirmation of my booking?

Most reservations will receive confirmation within minutes after payment takes place. We recommend contacting our Booking Department for last minute reservations (pick-up within 48 hours).
