Discovering Pretoria with Rhinocarhire: Your Ultimate Car Hire Guide

Pretoria, South Africa's administrative capital, is a city characterized by its Jacaranda-lined streets, historic monuments, and a genuine blend of cultures. With Rhinocarhire as your travel companion, immerse yourself in Pretoria's unique rhythm and explore its myriad attractions with ease.

Driving in Pretoria: Need-to-know Tips

  • Driving Orientation: Remember that driving in Pretoria, like the rest of South Africa, is on the left-hand side of the road.

  • Traffic Dynamics: While not as busy as Johannesburg, Pretoria has its own traffic patterns. It's wise to avoid the main arterials during rush hours, typically between 6-9 AM and 4-7 PM.

  • Parking: Most public areas in Pretoria have designated parking zones, many of which are overseen by parking attendants. As customary, a small tip is appreciated when you return to your vehicle.

Choosing the Perfect Car for Your Adventure

  • City Cruising: For navigating the city's streets and tight parking spaces, a compact car is ideal.

  • Countryside Exploration: If you're venturing to nearby natural reserves or embarking on a road trip, consider a comfortable SUV from Rhinocarhire's fleet.

Not-to-miss Attractions & Driving Routes

  • Union Buildings: The seat of South Africa's government offers panoramic views of the city. It's easily accessible via the main roads from any part of Pretoria.

  • Voortrekker Monument: A short drive south of the city center, this iconic monument celebrates the pioneering spirit of early Afrikaans settlers.

  • Nature Reserves: Rietvlei and Dinokeng are within an hour's drive from Pretoria, offering game drives and a true South African bushveld experience.

Top Tips for First-timers in Pretoria with Rhinocarhire

  • Local Bites: Enjoy the local culinary delights, from boerewors rolls to creamy milk tart. The city is dotted with eateries that showcase the rich culinary heritage of the region.

  • Safety Measures: While Pretoria is generally safe, always be alert and aware of your surroundings, especially when parking or at traffic lights.

  • Cultural Pursuits: Drive to cultural hubs like the National Zoological Gardens or the Pretoria Botanical Gardens for a day of relaxation and learning.
