Various flights are available to Johannesburg from Vancouver with air fares that vary according to the time of the year. In the following paragraphs I will mention three flights that offer reasonable rates even though there are other airlines operating this route.

British Airways

The cheapest flight to Johannesburg from Vancouver is likely to be offered by British Airways. The reason why I say “likely” is because prices fluctuate regularly.

This flight leaves Vancouver at 20:45 and heads for its home country. It will arrive at Heathrow Airport the next day at 1400hrs. Be ready to do some shopping as the next flight to Johannesburg is only available at 17:50. This is going to be a 12 hour journey that will arrive in Johannesburg at 06.35 hrs.

Virgin Atlantic Airways

This flight leaves Vancouver at 18:05 and flies to London where it arrives at 11:45 the following day. You have a whole afternoon for sight seeing as the connecting flight departs at 18.00hrs. The arrival time in Johannesburg is 07:05 on the 3rd day.

Lufthansa

If you are looking at taking off just before the sun goes down then consider this cheap flight to Johannesburg from Vancouver. It leaves Vancouver for Frankfurt at 15.40 hrs where it will arrive at 10.50 hrs the next day. This flight is ideal for those who want to spend a bit of time in frankfurt as the next available flight will take off at 22.35 hrs. It arrives in Johannesburg at 10:00 just in time to prepare for lunch.

I will not give you a list of the most popular car hire companies in South Africa because popularity and excellent service are not always synonymous. I will tell you what a good car hire agency should be able to do for you and then you can use that information to see whether any particular one meets those criteria.

If you are going to need the car for a period of more than two days then you should be able to get a company that should be able to offer you a cover charge for the period than the usual daily rates and charge per extra km. A longer lease should qualify for a bigger discount when calculated against the daily rate.

Another thing that you can find out about are the add on features that you might need. A good car hire agency will have roof racks for luggage and maybe sports equipment or extra storage facilities. Not for free of course I’m just saying they should have them available should you ever need them.

You should also find out about the terms and conditions of insurance in relation to extra drivers. Registering extra drivers means paying an extra fee, but since you are leasing the car for a long period extra drivers should be registered for free.

A good car hire agency should as a matter of routine be able to set you up for the itinerary of your stay. Basically take care of your flight and accomodation requirements as well. Although this will mean you paying more money. They should be able to tell you clearly the terms and conditions regarding your lease.

Most agencies will either not point out the penalties and conditions of breach of your contract. You should be clear as to what these are and how they affect you. Did I say I wouldn’t mention the popular ones I was just kidding? The most commonly used agencies in the country are Avis, RAV, Hertz and Budget.
