Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Welkom car reservation?
You should receive your money back on your reservation if it's cancelled at least six hours ahead of collecting the car. Read through the rental agreement for the specifics. Our Customer Service Portal may have the answers too.
What types of cars can I rent in Welkom?
Bustling city streets and tight parking spaces are no sweat for an economy car — the most popular type of rental in Welkom. Take the wheel of one of these and get around traffic easily. Affordable, reliable and with excellent mileage, these small cars pack a punch. But Welkom can be explored in almost any sort of rental you like. Compacts, premiums and SUVs are among your options.
Where can I go on a road trip from Welkom?
Welkom offers adventures galore, but don't limit yourself to one place. Rent some wheels and head off to see what's in the wider area. Here are some ideas:

  • Potchefstroom is approximately 145 kilometres from Welkom. Well-known tourist attractions like Potchefstroom Dam deserve to be high on your list here.
  • Located 137 kilometres away, Bloemfontein is also popular with travellers. Be sure to get to Supreme Court of Appeal while you're in town. It's one of the reasons people love coming to this thriving city.
  • Carlton Centre is about 241 kilometres from Welkom and is one of the region's most beautiful nature spots. Go for a walk around and enjoy the fresh air.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Welkom?
Rental car rules in Welkom require drivers to be 18 and older. Are you a young driver? Some restrictions and surcharges may apply. Rental suppliers impose what's known as a young renter surcharge, which is an additional fee to the car rental cost. Restrictions often apply to the categories of cars young motorists can rent as well. Age limits may differ between companies, so check before you book.
What do you need to rent a car in Welkom?
While booking conditions may differ between outlets, the essentials are a current driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. You don't need to take out the company's auto insurance. However, proof of alternative coverage may be required.
What side of the road do you drive on in Welkom?
If you hop behind the wheel in Welkom, you'll need to drive on the left. Take note that the driver's seat will also be on the opposite side to what you're used to. Consider booking a ride with automatic transmission if it's your first time driving on the left.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Welkom?
Yes. We partner with trusted companies that offer weekly and monthly rentals for many car classes. Head to our long-term car rental deals and discover every corner of Welkom — or beyond!
Where can I find a Welkom car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the rental companies located in Welkom. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found an outlet that does cater to drivers under the age of 25, be aware that extra costs may apply. Conduct some research into any extra charges before collecting the vehicle.
