Again, some suburban areas are sandy with uphill and bumpy roads, so consider getting a well-raised Centurion car hire to manoeuvre around most rural roads. In this instance, look for an SUV. In addition to offering better handling in bad roads and challenging weather conditions, an SUV is fuel efficient and guarantees more legroom for a comfortable journey.
What is the speed limit in Centurion?
When driving your car hire in Centurion, beware of the varying speed limits depending on the area. The speed limit is 60 km/h (37 mph) when driving on public roads within the urban area. The speed limit is 100 km/h (62 mph) when driving on public roads outside the city centre, and 120 km/h (74 mph) on freeways. When driving around built-up areas like residential areas, school zones, and business districts, the speed limit is 40 km/h (24 mph). Abide by the city's speed limits because speeding is heavily punished.
Where are the best places to park in Centurion?
Finding a car park can be challenging when driving your Centurion car hire. So, you should consider booking a Centurion hotel to avoid the stress of looking for a place to park. Several hotels are offering free parking if you reside on their property. For instance, consider African Pride Irene Country Lodge, Thatch Haven Guest House, or ANEW Hotel Centurion Pretoria. However, if you opt for metered parking, consider looking for a place in downtown Centurion. Olievenhoutbosch Ext 15 Park, Banana Park, and Eldo Park are worth considering. Parking your car hire in Centurion costs around 23 ZAR (1 GBP).
