As all of the roads are well maintained and wide enough for any vehicle size, you have a wide range of choices for car hire in Nelspruit, depending on your plans. If you're staying in the city, any vehicle will do.

The speed limits in Nelspruit are the same as in the rest of South Africa, and you'll need to be aware of them. If you're driving on any major highway leading into the city or between cities, stick to 120 km/h or below. There are various "speed traps" along these highways. Most public roads vary between 100 km/h and 120 km/h, depending on how remote the road is. If you're driving in the city, stick to 60 km/h. There are some areas, typically around schools and other places where children frequent, with a limit of 40 km/h.
The majority of parking spaces in and around Nelspruit are free on-street parking spots. However, there are usually local "car guards", who aren't always officially employed as security guards, that take it upon themselves to watch the vehicles and expect some small change in return. If you're parking in shopping centres, you'll generally be given a ticket upon entry that you'll have to pay before getting back to your vehicle. It's important to find accommodation that offers free parking, as it's difficult to find secure overnight car storage.

4.4 Mediocre
May 2017
Cons:
We rented from Avis on 3 different occasions in Sputh Africa. Each time they are very lax pn checking the car when upu leave and will not mark diwn any problems, however when upu reyurn the car they go over it with a fine tooth comb. They will not close out the contract either, just give upu a return receipt. The only place theu were nice eas picking up.the car in Cape Town.6.0 Okay

2.0 Poor
Jan 2019
Pros:
NothingCons:
The company was difficult and wouldn't let me rent the car because my credit card did not have embossed letters. The company also doesn't have email customer service which makes complaints and real time information difficult.2.0 Poor
Sept 2018
Pros:
NothingCons:
The rental agent and the manager would not fulfill the already paid rental car contract because the credit card we used to make the reservation was not imprintable. We were asked to show the card we had made the reservation with to charge a deposit for incidentals. They looked at the card, a Chase Visa, and said because it would not imprint with a decades old credit card imprinter we could not have the car. I will be disputing the charge on my credit card and as I said will not rent from this company ever again.5.2 Fair

Some Nelspruit car providers already include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection Waiver into the hire price but not all of them. We recommend being aware of your coverage when hiring a car in Nelspruit.
Keep in mind that car hire insurances often have a deductible clause, which is the amount you’ll have to pay if something happens during the time of your hire. If you want to avoid unwanted surprises, you should consider adding a non-deductible option to your Nelspruit car hire.
