SURREY, ENGLAND, May 26, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Carrentals.co.uk has issued a selection of helpful tips on what to do to make a trip to South Africa for the World Cup an enjoyable one.

With so many fans about descend on South Africa for the World Cup, the car rental specialists have released a selection of great tips and hints on how travellers can make their experience a trip of a lifetime.

Talking about the travelling tips is Gareth Robinson. Managing Director of the carrental aficionado's Carrentals.co.uk: "Being prepared for a trip to South Africa is important as there are many things to take into consideration before people leave their home countries.

"We have compiled a list of some of the best tips that travellers will need to take into consideration when visiting South Africa."

Here is a look at some of the top tips to look out for:

Plan Ahead - Vaccinations for diseases such as Hepatitis A and B as well as Typhoid are ideal for World Cup travellers and a trip to the doctor to talk about your options is recommended. Credit card companies and banks in the UK sometimes place travel restrictions on cards so be sure to find out if these need to be lifted before you get to South Africa.

Getting Around - South Africa drivers drive on the left and when you fill up with petrol it is usual for an attendant to help you. Car rental is the preferable choice although if necessary public transport is available, if a little limiting.

Accommodation - Hotel bookings must be made in advance as there will be hundreds of thousands of people looking for places to stay. Camping is not advisable due to the cold weather at the time of the year.

Staying safe - Stick to streets that are well lit at night and avoid walking around the cities on your own after dark. Pickpockets and thieves will be out with a vengeance so keep valuables locked away in a safe along with excessive amounts of cash.

Match Day - Many car parks will be available and it is customary to tip attendants. Note where you park the car and make sure you leave plenty of time to get through the excessive security. Lastly, enjoy the fact that beer in South Africa is around GBP1!
