Your travel agent should also include this in your world cup packages because the number of cars available for rent are limited.Licensed taxis, coaches, shuttles and regular buses are all being pressed into service to accommodate the more than 3 million football fans expected to travel to South Africa during the tournament.

Don’t despair if you don’t have tickets to a match. You can still soak up the atmosphere in 10 fan parks that are due to be placed near the stadiums. In fact it is anticipated that more people will watch the games from the fan parks rather than within the stadiums. Ask your World Cup travel agent to supply you with a list of the location of the various fan parks. You will be happy that you did. Enjoy the party, but don’t get too drunk as police will definitiely not allow any access to anyone exhibiting bizarre or drunken behavior outside the stadiums or fan parks.
