Driving in Durban when Hiring a Car: Essential Tips

  • Driving Orientation: South Africa follows left-hand driving. Make sure to keep to the left side of the road, especially at intersections and roundabouts.

  • Traffic: While Durban is not as congested as Johannesburg, expect some traffic during the peak hours of 7-9 AM and 4-6 PM.

  • Parking: Paid parking is common in the city center. In beach areas, try to secure parking early, especially during the summer months.

Choosing the Right Rental Car

  • City Explorations: A compact car is efficient for navigating the city streets and finding parking with ease.

  • Adventurous Escapes: If you plan to venture to the Drakensberg Mountains or coastal drives, consider hiring an SUV for better road handling.

Key Attractions & Driving Routes

  • uShaka Marine World: A short drive from the city center, this attraction offers a marine-themed wonderland suitable for all ages.

  • Golden Mile: Drive along this iconic beachfront stretch, stopping at cafes or just to take in the breathtaking ocean views.

  • Valley of a Thousand Hills: An hour's drive from Durban, this scenic route offers panoramic vistas and rich Zulu heritage.

  • Durban Botanical Gardens: A peaceful escape located right in the city, perfect for a leisurely afternoon drive.

First-Time Visitor Recommendations with Rhinocarhire

  • Taste Local Delights: Don't miss out on a Bunny Chow, Durban's signature dish. This bread loaf filled with curry is a culinary delight.

  • Safety First: While Durban is welcoming to tourists, always ensure your car is locked and avoid leaving valuables in plain sight.

  • Beach Time: Durban is renowned for its beaches. Allocate a day to drive down the coast, hopping from one beach to another.

In Conclusion

Durban, with its balmy weather and myriad attractions, is waiting to be explored. Let Rhinocarhire be your travel companion, offering you the best vehicles at competitive prices, ensuring your South African escapade is nothing short of magical.
