Transport

Here are a few fast details on transport options:

While Ready4Life does not provide vehicles, the organisation can communicate with local rental companies who can assist.
- Local companies are usually cheaper and have fewer restrictions like some don’t require 2+ years of holding a license.

Vehicle sharing is possible:
- This cuts down rental and petrol costs
- Having access to a car gives you more freedom in the evenings and over the weekends.
- Average rental cost: ±R 8000/month (depending on car type)
- If no one in your group has a license or enough experience, your options include e-hailing services (like Uber).

Optional insurance is available to reduce potential costs from accidents:
- Ask the rental company for their terms and conditions.

Depending on circumstances, Ready4Life may help organise transport on your second day after arrival.
Uber is a good alternative.
