For driving in Pretoria, a compact or mid-size car is recommended. The city's streets are generally well-maintained and allow for comfortable manoeuvring with smaller vehicles. However, if you plan to explore beyond the city and embark on adventures to nearby national parks or game reserves, hiring a 4x4 SUV or a sturdy off-road vehicle would be advantageous. This type of car is suitable for navigating gravel or unpaved roads, which are common in the surrounding areas of Pretoria. Car hire in Pretoria offers various car types to accommodate different travel preferences.
In Pretoria, the standard speed limit within urban areas is 60 km/h (37 mph). However, it's important to pay attention to specific areas where speed restrictions may apply. For instance, near schools or residential areas, the speed limit can be reduced to 40 km/h (25 mph) during specific times, usually indicated by signage. Additionally, it's crucial to be aware of speed cameras that are installed in certain areas to monitor and enforce speed limits. Observe the posted speed limits and exercise caution to avoid any penalties or fines.
Pretoria offers various parking options for visitors. When exploring the city centre, there are both street parking and car parks available. Street parking in metered zones may require payment, usually averaging around 15-25 ZAR (South African Rand, approximately 0.6 -1 GBP) per hour. It's advisable to have some cash on hand for small payments. Additionally, many shopping centres and attractions provide dedicated parking lots, often free of charge or for a minimal fee. Familiarise yourself with parking signs and restrictions to ensure compliance and avoid any inconvenience or fines.

Some Pretoria car providers already include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection Waiver into the hire price but not all of them. We recommend being aware of your coverage when hiring a car in Pretoria.
Keep in mind that car hire insurances often have a deductible clause, which is the amount you’ll have to pay if something happens during the time of your hire. If you want to avoid unwanted surprises, you should consider adding a non-deductible option to your Pretoria car hire.
