Tel: 017 544 6569 and 012 435 0043
Drivers Licence: The practice is that you do not need an International Licence.
If you are from a western country, your original licence will be accepted.
But for some countries this will not be the case.

These are tourist prices. If you ask around you can get the same thing - and especially monthly renting - for much less.
For a car just ask any car repair shop...
