DOLLAR Car Rental at Johannesburg Airport

Johannesburg Airport is today known as O.R Tambo International Airport, a name in honour of Oliver Reginald Tambo, a former South African National Congress President. Before the end of apartheid in South Africa, it was known as Jan Smuts, and shortly after as Johannesburg International Airport. The newer and current name of the airport was made official in 2006. O.R Tambo International Airport is the largest airport on the African continent, with the capacity to handle 28 million passengers per year, and is located nearby the city center of Johannesburg, in the Kempton Park region of the Gauteng Province. Many passengers arrive at this airport for business and tourism, and most prefer to rent their own vehicle for transport. Dollar Car Rental is available at O.R Tambo Airport, and customers enjoy the services of Dollar, as they are a company offering competitive rental rates and a wide range of quality vehicles.

Dollar at Johannesburg airport is available for rentals between the hours of 06:00 and 22:00, every day of the week. These are their standard hours of operation, but holiday hours may vary. Dollar can be found in the multi-storey car parking area opposite the domestic terminal of O.R Tambo Airport, along with a number of other car hire companies. Vehicles can be hired directly from Dollar’s rental counters, or in advance, from Dollar’s online website, at www.dollar.com. Over the internet, customers can view all the vehicle categories available at this airport location, view pictures of example vehicles in each category, and find out more about the luggage and seating capacities of the example vehicles. It is therefore easy to select the car category that will have the correct sized vehicle for your journey.

Vehicles at Dollar Rent a Car include smaller models, such as the Hyundai i10 and Volkswagen Polo Vivo Hatch in the Economy category, and the Volkswagen Polo Vivo Sedan in the Compact category. These vehicles all seat up to four passengers, and have room for two luggage items. Compact vehicles are a bit more spacious, but families may still require a slightly larger vehicle. Economy and Compact vehicles are ideal for city driving, have low rental rates and are generally very fuel-efficient. These three aspects make them a popular choice among many renters.

Vehicles found in the Mid-size range can have two or four doors, and may have an automatic transmission as well. They are similar to the Nissan Tiida, and seat up to four people. There are also Full-size vehicles available with an automatic transmission, such as the Honda Accord. This vehicle is larger, seating up to five passengers, and storing three large luggage items. Business passengers arriving at O.R Tambo may require a more elegant vehicle for corporate events, and therefore Dollar offers the Luxury category, featuring vehicles such as the Mercedes-Benz E Class. This vehicle is also large, with plenty of room for luggage.

Family vehicles include the Nissan Livina, or even van-sized vehicles, such as the Mercedes-Benz Vito and Toyota Quantum. The Mercedes Vito seats up to eight passengers, while the Toyota can seat up to ten people. Both are excellent choices for groups of passengers who would like to travel in one vehicle. The Nissan X-Trail is another example vehicle seating five people, but is classed as a Premium SUV vehicle. It also has good space for luggage, storing at least four large items.

Dollar offers their customers some unique car hire services, for example, their Dollar Express membership. Dollar Express members enjoy preferential treatment at the rental counters, and are able to make quicker reservations, rentals and returns, as Dollar will have all your details stored in their database. This membership is free of charge, and especially beneficial to more frequent renters. Another benefit of the membership is that customers can even earn free rental days with Dollar’s Renter Rewards program. Further details are available on Dollar’s website.

Of particular interest to corporate clients, may be Dollar’s Multi-Month Rental Program. Customers are able to hire a vehicle for up to eleven consecutive months, without the need to return the vehicle before the agreed rental period has expired. Corporate account holders will receive excellent rates and benefits, and will be able to easily make reservations by calling a special 800#. Rental charges are automatically billed to the customer’s credit card or Dollar billing account each month. Enrollment forms for corporate accounts are available on Dollar’s website, at www.dollar.com.

Most primary renters hiring a vehicle in South Africa, and at O.R Tambo International Airport, are required to be at least 21 years of age, and to have held a valid drivers license for a minimum period of three years before the rental date. A major credit card is required for payment of the rental.
