Bloemfontein is the judicial capital of South Africa, occupying a central position in the country at the confluence of a number of major highways. Car hire from Bloemfontein Airport is inevitably popular, as the airport serves a number of central cities and towns. Bloemfontein was once home to a huge number of cheetahs which is reflected in the Cheetah Reserve and the impressive zoo. It's also worthy of note that J.R.R Tolkein was born here, and the ANC was formed in the Manguang Township.

Bloemfontien doesn't have the high rise skyline of Johannesburg or other major commercial centres, giving it a welcoming feel. The local landmarks are intriguing, with a number of museums, gardens and nature reserves, as well as some major shopping malls such as the Waterfront. Hiring a car from Bloemfontein Airport is the best way to see these diverse and well-spread attractions.

If you're hiring a car from Bloemfontein Airport, you may wish to start your journey by taking a scenic drive up to Naval Hill for the excellent panoramas of the city. If nature and South Africa's diverse wildlife is of interest, take a trip to the Cheetah Experience, which lies west of the city. The Waterfront Shopping Mall provides some shelter from the day's heat, and the waterfront in general is a nice part of town.

If you rent a car from Bloemfontein Airport, the list of museums you can visit is impressive: the Anglo Boer Museum, the Oliewenhuis Art Museum and the National Museum are the pick of the bunch.

FAQs About Car Hire

Do I need to have a driver’s license to rent a car from Hertz Car Rental - Bloemfontein Airport?

At the time of rental the driver must present a valid national driver's licence.

Important Notice for Customers with UK Driving Licences issued in Great Britain

When renting in South Africa, all drivers with a UK licence (except Northern Ireland) will need to provide evidence of any driving endorsements. This also applies if you have a paper licence that was issued before 1998.

You will need to provide a ‘Check Code’ which enables you to share your driving record with someone, for example a car hire company. Check Codes are valid for 21 days.

An International Driving Permit (IDP) is required, if the customer does not have a valid national driver's licence in English with a photograph and no endorsements.

The IDP translates the national licence into various languages and is on its own, without the national licence, not acceptable.

Driver's licences issued by the People's Republic of China may be accepted provided you present an official Hertz Certification form. Hertz China will issue this form on Hertz notepaper and will incorporate the Hertz China Corporate seal. A scanned copy of the original licence will appear on the Certification form. The Certification form is valid until the expiry date of the Driver's Licence. BOTH the Certification and the original licence MUST be produced at the time of rental.

If you hold a Driver's Licence issued in Vietnam, you need to present the original licence together with an authorised translation issued by the Vietnamese Ministry of Transport. If both documents are presented at time of rental these licences are acceptable worldwide.
