Can I drive in Durban with my U.S. Driver's license?
You sure can, just make sure your U.S. License is current. But consider getting an International Driving Permit anyway. They're relatively easy to arrange, and with one, you'll be able to drive in other places if your travel plans take you beyond Durban.

Where can I find a Durban car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the rental car companies that operate in Durban. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found a place that does cater to drivers under the age of 25, be aware that additional costs may apply. Conduct some research into any extra charges before booking your rental car.
