モンバサのモイ国際空港（MBA）でレンタカーを借りる際、給油はどのようにすれば良いですか？

ケニアのガソリンスタンドは、ほとんどがスタッフによる給油サービスです。希望の油種（ガソリンは「ペトロール」、ディーゼルは「ディーゼル」）と金額または量を伝えましょう。通常、レンタカーは「満タン返し」が基本契約です。空港近くのスタンドで満タンにしてから返却するとスムーズです。少額のチップを渡すのが一般的です。

South Africa Car Rental Guide

Essential driving tips and rental FAQ for Grand Central, South Africa

Can I drive in South Africa with my US license, or do I need an International Driving Permit?

Your US driver's license is valid in South Africa, but an International Driving Permit (IDP) is strongly recommended. The IDP serves as an official translation and is essential if you're stopped by police or involved in an accident. You can obtain an IDP from AAA before departure (about $20). Drivers must be at least 21 years old; ages 21-24 typically face a young driver surcharge of ZAR 200-350 per day.

South Africa drives on the left—is it hard to adjust?

Yes, South Africa uses left-hand traffic (opposite of the US), and rental cars are right-hand drive. This takes adjustment, especially when turning at intersections and using roundabouts. Take extra caution at the start, particularly when emerging onto major roads. Freeways like the N1 and N3 are well-marked and easier to handle. Budget 2-3 days to fully adapt before tackling rural routes.

How do toll roads work, and what's the best payment method?

South Africa has tolled sections on major highways (N1, N2, N3). Rental cars typically have a TollCam device pre-installed—unpaid tolls are billed to your rental agreement plus a ZAR 50-100 admin fee. Alternatively, you can pay cash at toll booths (ZAR 30-150 per segment). Credit cards are accepted at all toll points. Ask your rental company about their TollCam policy to avoid surprise charges on your final bill.

Are there dangerous wildlife on the roads near Grand Central?

Absolutely. South Africa has high rates of wildlife-vehicle collisions, especially on rural roads and at night. Animals like kudu, impala, warthogs, and even larger species can appear suddenly. In Kruger-area routes, elephants and lions are a genuine hazard. Drive cautiously at dusk and night, use high beams carefully, and if you see an animal on the road, do NOT swerve—brake firmly and honk. Your rental insurance likely does NOT cover animal strike damage, so check your policy.

What fuel type do rental cars use, and how far between gas stations?

Most South African rental cars run on unleaded petrol (95 octane). Diesel is common in SUVs and larger vehicles. Fuel is widely available in urban areas like Johannesburg, but in rural areas and especially near Kruger or the Northern Cape, gas stations can be 80-150km apart. Always keep your tank above half on remote routes. Credit cards are accepted at major chains (Engen, BP, Shell), but some rural stations are cash-only.

Is car theft a concern, and what security measures should I take?

Vehicle crime is a real risk in South Africa, particularly in Johannesburg and township areas. Never leave valuables visible in the car—use the trunk or take them with you. Park in secured, attended lots rather than street parking, especially at night. If an armed incident occurs, comply fully and do not resist. Comprehensive insurance with theft protection is mandatory; confirm it covers window glass and tire theft too. GPS tracking devices are common in rentals—agree to this for your own safety.
