UK drivers licence

Some info on the driving licence requirements for UK visitors in South Africa.

If you have a new style card licence then the International Drivers Permit (IDP) is recommended but not essential. If you have the old style paper licence then do bring a valid IDP.

For more info see www.theaa.com also well worth a read is the Govt website (especially see their views on travelling by road):

To be safe I'd say just get an IDP - they are cheap and easy to get from selected Post Offices:
