Kruger Self drive rental company
We’re planning a self-drive trip in South Africa with about 10 days in Kruger National Park, plus the drive up from Johannesburg/Pretoria.
We’re looking at renting something like a Toyota Urban Cruiser.
The part I’m struggling with is the rental-company terms around gravel roads and damage cover.
For example, Woodford looks good on price and has a Tyre & Glass waiver, but their terms seem to exclude or limit certain types of damage such as pothole, gravel-road, undercarriage, rim, etc.
So I’d love to hear from people who have actually rented a car for Kruger recently:
Which rental company did you use? Any you would recommend or avoid?
Were official Kruger gravel roads explicitly allowed?
Did you take tyre/glass cover?
Were rims and undercarriage covered or excluded?
Are the official open gravel roads in Kruger generally allowed for rental cars?
Thank you for a great community, can’t wait to spot a Cheetah
