KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Nelspruit

  • Car hire in Nelspruit, otherwise known as Mbombela, is an excellent opportunity to explore everything this part of the country has to offer. You can take a roughly 1 hour drive to the famous Kruger National Park, one of the largest game reserves in South Africa and home to a plethora of wildlife, including the big five: rhinos, lions, leopards, African elephants and African buffalos. It's also just under 4 hours from Johannesburg, the country's business capital. The public transport system is difficult to figure out, so car hire in Nelspruit is an easy option to bypass the hassle.
  • When considering Nelspruit car hire, there are two airports that might suit you. OR Tambo International Airport (JNB), in Johannesburg, is about 4 hours away, while Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport (MQP) is roughly a 30min drive away. There are usually more flights available to OR Tambo, but Kruger Aiport tends to be more convenient. There are various international car hire companies that operate from the airport arrival terminal, as you exit the luggage claim area. Book online to avoid any availability issues and to save time.
  • Driving in Nelspruit is usually easy. The roads are fairly well maintained and wide enough to accommodate vehicles of any size. Large intersections are usually controlled by traffic lights, dubbed "robots" in South Africa, and roundabouts. You'll need to be aware of the road signs leading into roundabouts. Some of them give way to vehicles already on the inside, while others require cars inside to yield to those entering the roundabout. When driving in the city centre, be aware of pedestrians walking across the road where there aren't pedestrian crossings.
  • One of the most difficult things about driving in Nelspruit is the number of local taxis, which are minibuses hailed using various hand signals. These taxis are notorious for overloading and not adhering to the rules of the road. Be aware of them driving down the bike lane and cutting you off or stopping in the middle of an intersection to offload passengers. Avoid confrontation with the drivers and accept that this is simply a part of driving in and around this city.
  • 25% of our users found rental cars in Nelspruit for ₹ 3,594 or less
  • Medium rental cars in Nelspruit are around 3% cheaper than other car types, on average

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

    As all of the roads are well maintained and wide enough for any vehicle size, you have a wide range of choices for car hire in Nelspruit, depending on your plans. If you're staying in the city, any vehicle will do. If you, like most who visit the area, are planning on visiting Kruger National Park or driving to the Cradle of Humankind near Johannesburg, a 4x4 is usually the preferred choice.

  • What’s the speed limit in Nelspruit?

    The speed limits in Nelspruit are the same as in the rest of South Africa, and you'll need to be aware of them. If you're driving on any major highway leading into the city or between cities, stick to 120 km/h or below. There are various "speed traps" along these highways. Most public roads vary between 100 km/h and 120 km/h, depending on how remote the road is. If you're driving in the city, stick to 60 km/h. There are some areas, typically around schools and other places where children frequent, with a limit of 40 km/h.

  • Where are the best places to park in Nelspruit?

    The majority of parking spaces in and around Nelspruit are free on-street parking spots. However, there are usually local "car guards", who aren't always officially employed as security guards, that take it upon themselves to watch the vehicles and expect some small change in return. If you're parking in shopping centres, you'll generally be given a ticket upon entry that you'll have to pay before getting back to your vehicle. It's important to find accommodation that offers free parking, as it's difficult to find secure overnight car storage.
