The 2010 world cup will be hosted in South Africa and therefore many people will be visiting the country for the first time. The country has three major airports as well as other smaller airports all operated by acsa, which controls 98% of South Africa's commercial air traffic. For local and international travelers there are several ways to access the airport depending on your time schedule and budget. Being dropped off and picked up has its advantages. It allows the traveler to be dropped off directly in front of the terminal, and avoids the h***le of parking a car. The pickup may prove more complicated, as the exact arrival time may vary due to delays. The driver may have to wait an uncertain amount of time, and perhaps even park his or her car. Also, there are the usual costs ***ociated with the drive to and from the airport. This option does have the benefit of being able to be greeted by friends or family after a long trip. Another option is to use the shuttle service provide by most the major hotels located near the airport. These services operated several times a day between the airport and the hotel. Some hotels provide the service for free; others have a minor charge for using the service. The advantage of using the shuttle service is the fact it brings you right where you need to be. The disadvantage is that they normally operate on set schedules so you'll have to plan according to their schedule. Europcar, Avis, and Hertz are among the many car rentals companies operating at South African airports. This is an excellent option for transportation while conducting business or vacationing in South Africa. If you come to South Africa as a part of an organized tour, depending on the size of your group you'll have the service of a bus driver and tour guide to get you to your destination. In addition shuttle services operate between all the major towns and cities and airpor |

In addition shuttle services operate between all the major towns and cities and airports. You find information on some shuttle companies at this website http://www.shuttle.co.za you can also book shuttle transportation before you arrive or wait to arrange one on arrival. These shuttle services are very affordable, with the only drawbacks being the fact you might have to wait for your shuttle to fill with p***engers or an ***igned departure time has p***ed. Also you might not be transported directly to your destination as the shuttle driver will calculate the most optimal route based upon the destinations of the p***engers These reduce any chance of delay ***ociated with shuttle buses but the cost is much higher especially for longer distances. By 2010 there will be a quatrain running from Pretoria to Johannesburg and to the airports. This will further bring p***engers close to their destinations.
