SIXT Car Rental at Johannesburg Airport

O.R Tambo International Airport is located in the Kempton Park region of Johannesburg, nearby Germiston, and in the country of South Africa. It is the largest airport in South Africa, and is also listed among the 100 busiest airports in the world. The airport is currently able to handle 28 million passengers, and served approximately 21 million people in 2018. The airport was formerly known as Jan Smuts Airport, and Johannesburg International Airport, but in 2006, its name was officially changed to O.R Tambo International Airport, in honour of Oliver Reginald Tambo, a past President of the African National Congress. A rented car in Johannesburg is the best way to get around the city, and many customers enjoy the services of Sixt. Sixt is worldwide car Hire Company, offering a range of innovative services.

Sixt at O.R Tambo International Airport, can be found among a number of other car hire companies, in the multi-storey parking arcade just opposite the domestic terminal. The airport has recently been expanded and upgraded to allow for the increase in passengers during the 2010 FIFA World Cup, for which South Africa received hosting rights. A new Central Terminal was constructed and a new international pier was added, expanding the airport’s annual capacity to 28 million passengers per year. O.R Tambo Airport now handles all check-in processes from the Central Terminal, and its other six terminals are for international and domestic arrivals and departures. Passengers arriving at the airport can go directly to Sixt in order to make car hire arrangements, or reservations can be made in advance, from Sixt’s website at www.sixt.co.za.

Customers with a Sixt Express Card can access the services of the Sixt Quick-Check-In terminals, Sixt Mobile-Check-In and Sixt Online-Check-In. The Sixt Quick-Check-In terminals allow passengers with an existing reservation to bypass the rental counters, by creating their own rental agreement in three easy steps.

Vehicles from Sixt come in all shapes and sizes, ranging from the smaller Chevrolet Spark and Ford Fiesta to the large VW Kombi, seating up to nine passengers. Although the smaller vehicles from Sixt, similar to the VW Chico Golf and Fiat Grande Punto as well, seat up to four people, families may need a larger sized vehicle, as they don’t have much room for luggage. They are very popular choices for single drivers and couples, with less luggage to transport. Smaller vehicles also come with good rental prices, and are ideal for driving in the city.

Many customers at Sixt enjoy a vehicle with an automatic transmission, and these types of vehicles are similar to the Nissan Tiida and Ford Focus Auto, as well as the more elegant and stylish BMW 320i Auto. and Mercedes-Benz C180 Auto. These vehicles mostly have a limousine style body, and store up to three large luggage items, and three smaller items. They are also ideal for business renters who require a more up-market vehicle for corporate functions.

Sixt, at O.R Tambo International Airport, aims to fulfill the rental needs of all their clients, and therefore offer a range of larger sized vehicles as well. The Opel Zafira seats up to six people, and is a great car for families who enjoy more interior space within their vehicles, while the VW Kombi can be classed as a ‘people carrier’, with room for nine passengers and a number of luggage items. Groups of travelers who would like to hire just one vehicle often choose one of Sixt’s MPV vehicles.

All vehicles at Sixt’s Johannesburg Airport rental location can be hired by anyone 21 years of age or older. They should have a valid drivers license that has been held by them in their country of residence for at least three years prior to the rental date, and a major credit card for payment of the rental. Foreign renters may require an International Driving Permit, and a young drivers surcharge is applicable to drivers between the ages of 21 and 25.
