Avis at JNB?
How does one get to the Avis at JNB? Is there a shuttle? I'll be coming from the IC.
Does anyone happen to know if their GPS units are up to date with all the new roads built over the last couple years?

IIRC they're in the same parking garage as all the other rental companies. It's a short walk from either terminal - on the way to the IC hotel.
Can't speak to the GPS question - never use 'em.

Can't speak to the GPS units being up to date, but if you don't know your way around, you should definitely get the GPS, especially if you're sticking to the Joburg area. Are you driving around the country, or staying in the Joburg area? You wouldn't need a GPS for some of the longer drives, however in the larger cities you might find that they're lifesavers (sometimes literally - not being hysterical, but there are a couple of neighborhoods in Joburg that you'll really want to avoid).
