Johannesburg Sandton Center Car Rental

Sandton CBD is Johannesburg's financial heart and Africa's richest square kilometer, located approximately 20 km north of Johannesburg's CBD. With a total of 15 car rental companies, Sandton Center offers by far the largest selection of car rental options in the entire Johannesburg region. From here you can reach O.R.

Tambo airport in 35 km and Pretoria in 55 km via the N1. Sandton City, Nelson Mandela Square, and the Michelangelo Hotel form the core of the district and are well-known landmarks. Sandton Gautrain station, one of South Africa's busiest, is in the city center and provides direct connections to the airport in 15 minutes.

With 15 car rental companies, you can easily compare prices on the spot, but still book online for the best rates. Pick up your car early in the morning to avoid Sandton's intense lunch-hour traffic congestion on West Street and Rivonia Road. Choose a vehicle with a navigation system - Sandton's one-way system can be confusing for visitors.
