When it comes to driving in and around the city of Cape Town, you’ll see that the majority of roads are in good condition with spacious lanes. So, you’ll enjoy a smooth ride, especially in the central areas. If you plan to drive on suburban and rural roads outside the city, it's worth noting that many of them are not paved. This means there are plenty of dirt track roads with rocks to contend with, so you will need to be careful driving on these surfaces. Be sure that your car can handle this type of terrain when you head out onto the roads.
When driving around Cape Town in your hire car, it’s worth making sure that you drive carefully and observe the speed limits accordingly. Keep your headlights on at all times when driving, and always stick to directions set by a GPS app or satellite navigation system so you don’t get lost. Within the vehicle, it’s a good idea to keep various things stored in the vehicle, such as sunglasses, water and a first aid kit, as well as having your hire agreement, driving licence, identification and International Driving Permit on you at all times. This is important if you are ever stopped by the police or involved in a traffic accident. Keep valuables on you and not in your vehicle, and ensure it is locked at all times when parked.
