Alternatively, you have the option to take a taxi, which usually costs approximately ZAR 350.
Additionally, you have the choice to rent a car directly from the airport. Both international companies such as Europcar and Avis and local companies like Drive South Africa provide rental services. With a rental car, you can easily reach the city using highways like the M4, #2, or R102.
