The renter is responsible for the maintenance costs, repairing of flat, punctured, damaged tyres or excessively worn tyres.

The driver should not exceed the road traffic ordinance speed limits of 120km/h on tarred roads, and 80km/h on gravel/sealed or corrugated roads.

For your safety, SA Roadtrippers recommends a speed of not more than 100km/h on tarred roads, and 60km/h on gravel/sealed or corrugated roads, and max 40km/h in National Parks.

Tyres get hot and pressures increase at higher speeds. Tyres are then susceptible to damage especially on uneven surfaces.

When replacing a tyre, please ensure that it is of the same brand, size and ply rating as that of the damaged tyre. Reconditioned or re-treaded tyres are NOT acceptable.

Drive slowly, especially on gravel and dirt roads. Recommended to a maximum 60km/h on gravel and 30km/h on soft sand. Try to stay in the existing tyre tracks.

Should vehicle be returned with excess tyre wear the customer will be liable for the cost of such tyre replacement , fair wear and tear will be taken into account , the final decision of the tyre wear being excessive is in sole decision of the owner . (Many factors will increase tyre wear such as , but not limited to , uneven rocky or washboard gravel roads , incorrect tyre pressure for the specific road conditions , wreck less or negligent driving , high temperature road surfaces , excessive loading . The customer is responsible to continuously manage the tyres to ensure that tyre wear is not excessive. )

IMPORTANT TYRE PRESSURE

It is vital to understand and manage tire pressure according to the road and vehicle load conditions.

Poor tire pressure management is a big cause of serious road accidents on tar and especially secondary gravel roads

Tire pressure increases as the tire gets to operating temperature (after ± 10kms)

Tire pressure increases from a cold tire ( not been driven ) to tire that has been driven, i.e. a hot tire by between 10 to 15 percent, factors such as road surface, speed, load, heat, etc. effect tire pressure

Tire pressure gauges at petrol stations cannot be trusted as they vary dramatically and are generally not calibrated correctly, check your tire pressure personally, ask for a tire pressure gauge from our motorhome consultant for your trip.

On gravel

– Where your speeds SHOULD BE much lower and never over 80 kmph

– Deflate your tyres by 10 or 15%, to give a softer ride, one that will not shake the windscreen out of the car or the fillings from your teeth. Page 11 of 13

To get an accurate datum, make a note of cold pressures before you start, observe recommended tire pressure chart in the motorhome.

For long distance tar, it’s advisable to increase by 10% above the norm. On good gravel decrease by 10% to 15 % AND lower your speed

Keep large following distances on sand/dirt roads to avoid excessive dust which hampers visibility, hampers fresh air filters into cabin, clogs engine air filters resulting in possible increase in fuel consumption.

Ensure you brake timeously for water drifts in the road. These drifts are often dry and can appear suddenly and ar are not always clearly visible. Driving through them at excessive speeds can damage your suspension and more.

TRACKING

All SA Roadtrippers vehicles are fitted with tracking devices. Tracking is monitored in all Southern Africa destinations as allowed by SA Roadtrippers. SA Roadtrippers reserves the right to repossess the rental vehicle at any time if it is found illegally parked, driven wreckless and irresponsible driving or being used to violate the law or appears to be abandoned or if the renter is in breach of any terms or conditions of the rental agreement, has entered a restricted area or has infringed on the speed limits.

Effective travel date from 01 June 2015, regardless of the time of booking, all minors under 18 years of age travelling to and from the Republic of South Africa, have to present additional documents which were not needed until now. These new regulations apply to all travellers, regardless of their nationality. They were promulgated (set out) in terms of the South African Immigration Amendment Act of 2010 and define children as persons under the age of 18.

It is the responsibility of passengers to ensure their children have the correct documentation or risk being denied boarding. The new law will be enforced by airlines and immigration officials across the board (land, sea and air).

REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION:

When both parents are travelling with a child, they need to produce an unabridged birth certificate that shows the names of both parents. In cases where the certificate is in a language other than English, it must be accompanied by a sworn translation issued by a competent authority in the country concerned.

When a child travels with only one parent, additional documents should include an affidavit in which the absent parent gives consent for the child to travel, a court order granting full parental responsibilities or legal guardianship of the child, or the death certificate of the absent parent. The affidavit should be no more than three months old, from date of travel.

In the case of a child travelling with a person other than a parent, the unabridged birth certificate must be supplemented by affidavits from the parents or legal guardians confirming that the child may travel with that person, copies of the identity documents or passports of the parents or legal guardian, and the contact details of the parents or legal guardian.

Similarly, a child travelling as an unaccompanied minor would have to produce the unabridged birth certificate, proof of consent from both parents, or legal guardian and contact details, plus documentation relating to the person receiving the child in the Republic. The latter documentation should include a letter stating the person’s contact details and residential address and contact details where the child will be residing, plus a copy of his or her identity document, passport or residence permit.

All documents must either be original or certified as true copies of the original, by a competent authority. Documents not in English must be accompanied by a sworn translation.
