KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Centurion

  • Centurion is adorned with both vintage and contemporary features defining its culture and people's identity. It's a city worth visiting to adventure its beauty and vibrant streets, and nearby natural features. If you are considering visiting the city, endeavour to get car hire in Centurion to visit the city's top attraction areas. It's okay to use public transportation, but it's limited to certain zones. Again, public buses have fixed terminus, making accessing your destinations on time challenging. With car hire in Centurion, you can visit several destinations within a day, including Centurion Country Club, SMUTS House Museum, and Rietvlei Natural Reserve. Hennops Hiking Trail is located 30.2 km (18.76 miles) from Centurion city centre. You can get there in about 30 minutes via car.

You should pay attention to bus drivers who abruptly stop in the middle of the road when they sight a potential client. Also, approach built-up areas with caution when driving car hire in Centurion.

Typically, weekday rush hours begin from 06:00 to 09:00, and the evening rush hour start from 15:00 to 18:00. Unless it’s urgent, do not drive during these hours to avoid traffic delays. Populated areas are worth avoiding, too.

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Centurion?

    Most roads within the city centre are well-tarmacked. However, some roads are unpaved in certain parts of the city. 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).
