Car Hire Pietersburg Airport - Mini guide to Pietersburg Airport

Pietersburg Airport is an international facility in South Africa’s Limpopo Province. It is located on the outskirts of Pietersburg, another of South Africa’s cities that went through a name change in the last decade. Now known as Polokwane, this is one of the largest cities leading up to Kruger National Park.

Pietersburg Airport is north of the city centre, and it is easy to drive between the two with car hire at Pietersburg Airport. The facility sees around 40,000 passengers per year and has ample facilities including several onsite car hire firms. The sole airline is South African Airways with regular service to Johannesburg.

Once you land at the airport, cheap car hire at Pietersburg Airport provides a convenient means of exploring the region. The airport is on Gateway drive, an access road that quickly connects to the N1 highway. Cutting through the centre of town, this road is the fastest way in and out.

A railway also accesses the airport along Gateway drive. This transit line connects south to the large exchange near the intersection of N1 and R521. Both rail and road ultimately connect both to Johannesburg and Kruger National Park.

Pietersburg Airport is certainly the most convenient means into Pietersburg, but some tourists take it upon themselves to drive the 3 hours, 30 minutes between these two cities with car rental at Pietersburg Airport. An alternative is to fly into Pietersburg Airport and then drive 4 hours on to Kruger National Park, enjoying the scenery along the way.
