SOUTH
AFRICA DRIVERS LICENSE INFORMATION FOR CAPE TOWN CAR RENTAL
Drivers
must have a valid driving license, which displays his/her photograph
upon it, or carry your passport with you as positive identification
to verify you as the legal holder of the drivers license.
Your
license must be printed in English so a local traffic officer
can establish which class of vehicle you are qualified to drive.
If not, either an International license should be purchased
before arrival, or an affidavit/letter, printed in English and
stamped and signed by a commissioner of oaths stating the class
of vehicle you are permitted to drive. The onus is on the driver
to prove that he or she is qualified to drive such a vehicle.
Many
Car Rental companies are now insisting on an International Drivers
License. We would recommend that you apply for an International
Drivers License from your local AA office before depart from
home.
You
MUST carry your driving license on your person at all times
while driving in South Africa.
For
returning South Africans the old green ID drivers license document
is no longer valid & therefore not acceptable. Please obtain
an International drivers license before arrival.

OPTIONAL
