Soweto Car Rental Mini Guide

A tour of the city with a hire car is an absolute must. Not only will you understand a little more about the city and its history but also the people and their spirit, even in the city’s darkest days. You will probably visit the Nelson Mandela National Museum, where he once lived and see artefacts from his history and personal items.

To get to Soweto you will fly into Johannesburg’s Tambo International Airport where a rental car with Rhino Car Hire can be collected, you can then drive to Soweto using the N1 highway. If you are hiring a car hire in South Africa for the first time we recommend reading our Drive Smart South Africa guide to ensure you know the rules of the road and can drive safely in and around Soweto.
