What was once known as the halfway point between Johannesburg and Pretoria on the N1 is now the bustling town of Midrand. It has rapidly expanded as both a business hub and a safe residential area in which to raise a family. Midrand is also one of the best places to stay as a tourist in Gauteng owing to its central location.
This truly modern town has many sights to explore and hiring a car from Tempest will give you the freedom to move about on your own time. Whether you need a people carrier to transport the whole family or want something a little more on the sporty side to fit into the city lifestyle, Tempest has plenty of Midrand car hire options.

Often thought of as the home of motor racing in South Africa, Kyalami race course is a definite must-see in the Midrand area. You won’t be able to drive your Tempest rental car around the track, but you can be entertained by the professionals at the carting and other racing events regularly held there.
If you’re a golf lover, the Kyalami Country Club should be on your check list of places to visit while staying in Midrand. The country club offers a challenging and exciting 18-hole golf course with championship level tees as well as club level. The clubhouse itself has top of the range change room facilities, a Pro shop and an excellent bar and restaurant. If golf is your game, make sure your Midrand car hire choice has enough space for your clubs.
One of the highlights of any trip to Gauteng should be a visit to the South African Lippizaners. Recognised as the only performing Lippizaners outside of Vienna, their Sunday morning show is not to be missed. Take a drive through to Kyalami to see the breath-taking show and then visit these magnificent horses in the stables afterwards.
Midrand car hire from Tempest makes it possible for you to take a drive to one of the many animal sanctuaries in Gauteng. In the Midrand area, the Lory Park Animal and Owl Sanctuary is a great place to take the whole family for a holiday treat. Your children will be delighted to pet some of the tamer animals as well as get their picture taken with them. There is also a tea garden where you can have a light lunch.
Another great day out for the whole family is a trip to the popular Midrand Urban Market. Held on the first Saturday of every month, this outdoor market has lovely trinkets and jewellery available to buy as mementos of your holiday. There is also a big area in which kids can play on a trampoline and a jumping castle. Don’t worry, even though the market is a popular event for families, there’s plenty of parking for your hire vehicle.
