How long do you want to hire a vehicle in Durban?

Short-term car hire

Long-term car hire

Durban is situated along the east coast of KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) Province in South Africa. The eThekwini Municipality is the local government held accountable for its management and service procurement. 

Durban is considered the third-most dense city in South Africa and the biggest city in the South African province of KwaZulu-Natal. The city shares a section of the eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality and is inhabited by nearly 3.9 million people. It is found on the east coast of South Africa and is well recognized for being one of the most bustling ports in the country.

It is also recognized as a major center of tourism, the second most valuable manufacturing hub in South Africa, and is placed in a global biodiversity “hotspot.” 

Durban’s apartheid history has struck a vital role in forming many of the challenges endured by the city. This includes the ongoing spatial marginalization of various communities from transport access and their places of work. Another is the rising levels of the informal community (e.g. informal settlements) as people try to push closer to the city and economic opportunities.

Driving in Durban

Durban is just one of the cities in South Africa that may deceive you into thinking you’re in Europe or America. It’s thought to be one of the safest cities in South Africa, despite the high crime rate.

The city of Durban is settled along the east coast of South Africa in the region of KwaZulu-Natal and the municipality of eThekwini. It’s the third-biggest city in South Africa and the most bustling port in Africa.

Durban has lots of activities and fascinating destinations to offer, but the tourist is mostly drawn to The Golden Mile, the network of beaches near downtown that go along the Indian Ocean. These beaches are renowned for world-class surfing opportunities and extensive sandy beaches.

A bonus if you tour off-season is that you’ll nearly have the place to yourself.

Though Durban is considered an unsafe city, the areas that stretch near the beach are secured. The beach strip is regularly monitored by policemen, and it is also equipped with CCTV cameras apart from it being brightly lit.

Since there are poor neighborhoods in this city, it is not at all surprising to hear about muggings and armed robberies. And while theft is common, female tourists should be wary of rape. There have also been records of food and drink spiking, with victims ending up being attacked and looted after the incident.

However, what is more, relevant than identifying what kind of crimes tend to happen in Durban, is identifying the areas and hotspots where they’re more likely to happen.

The promenade along the beach, for instance, is very safe to visit, but be sure to blend in yourself and not go to the side and back roads of the hotels. The usually bustling central business district is empty after dark, so it’s best not to walk to it. At night, it is highly advised to stay on the main streets and not go out on look walks after dark unless you are very familiar with the areas you’re going to.

Places to Visit in Durban

Durban (eThekwini in Zulu) is South Africa’s third-biggest city and one of its best vacation destinations. It’s also the best place for surfers.

Driving Tips in Durban

Durban has much to offer for international visitors. Luckily, the government is taking steps to ensure a pleasant and safe stay for their international visitors.

Tourism officials in South Africa would like to elevate the beauty of tourism destinations across the nation. That said, we are here to provide you with road safety suggestions that you can use if you intend to drive in South Africa, particularly in Durban.

Road infrastructure/ Toll roads

  • Road infrastructure is mostly great with national roads managed by the South African National Roads Agency [SANRAL].
  • Several national roads between the main centers are toll roads. Be sure to check the toll fees before you drive, and make sure that you carry with you either a credit card or cash to pay.
  • While you have to pay on most of the national roads which are in good condition as well, the more rural the road, the more likely it is to be pot-holed and badly surfaced.
  • Driving is a viable alternative with careful preparation as advised by the South African government, it is still a big country not easily traversed in a day
  • With a good map, visitors should have slight trouble finding their way around.
  • Later knowledge on the situations of roads can be acquired through the Automobile Association of South Africa. The AA also presents valuable guides for road users in the form of strip maps tailored for particular destinations and knowledge for tourists on accommodation and routes.
  • Plan your journey thoroughly. If you’re not used to driving long distances, rather cut the journey, as tiredness is a major contributing part in motor vehicle accidents.
  • Inform your friends and relatives which routes you will follow and where you intend to make an overnight stay.
  • All signposts are addressed in English.
  • When inquiring for directions, you may be astounded to get the answer “turn left at the next robot. A “robot” is the South African word for traffic lights.
  • Petrol/Fuel Stations are regularly open 24 hours and scattered along all the routes. They are not self-help but protected by employees who can also check oil, water, and tire pressure if needed. Tips for these services are at your own discretion.
  • Many of these petrol stations also have restaurants and restrooms. Use them to freshen up before you continue your long drives.
  • There are three kinds of fuel available, leaded, unleaded, and ‘dual fuel’ which can be applied in place of either.
  • Petrol rates are fixed and regulated by the government. You can also pay for them in cash.
  • When driving through South Africa’s neighboring countries, petrol-station are more limited, so be prepared

Rules of the Road or Traffic Enforcement

Drivers License

  • An International Driver’s Permit must be provided in conjunction with your national driving license and must be printed or validated in English.
  • If your license does not display your photograph on it, then you must also carry along your passport with you so that you can be classified as the legal holder of the driving license.
  • Please remember that the car hire companies might possess different laws concerning the length of time that you require to have held a driving license, so it is prudent to check with your hire car company about their terms.
  • Always make sure that you carry the proper documentation at all times while driving.
  • Traffic officers will expect to scan documentation if they stop you for any cause.

Rules of the Road

  • In South Africa, they drive their vehicles on the left-hand side of the road, and the cars, as well as rental cars, are set as right-hand drive vehicles.
  • Always keep to the left and pass right
  • All distances, speed limits (and speedometers) are displayed in kilometers.
  • The country also imposes strict drinking and driving laws ー with a maximum permissible alcohol blood content of 0.05%. This is tantamount to about one glass of wine for an average woman and possibly 1.5 or 2 glasses of wine for an average or large man.
  • Four-way stops are generally located at the quieter junctions – the first vehicle to come has priority. On roundabouts, always give way to the right, although this is frequently ignored and it is wise to progress with caution.
  • Wearing seat belts is mandatory. All occupants of a vehicle are expected to wear seat belts whilst traveling, if you are caught without your seatbelt on, you will be subject to a fine.
  • Using hand-held phones while driving is absolutely against the law – use a vehicle phone accessory or hands-free kit, if you want to speak on your mobile phone while driving.

Speed limit

  • The prevailing speed limit on national highways, urban freeways, and other main routes is 120km/h (75mph).
  • On secondary (rural) roads it must be within 100km/h (60mph).
  • In built-up areas, it is normally 60km/h (35mph) unless otherwise shown.
  • Always check the road signs and follow the speed limit at all times
  • Speed limits are also known as maximum speeds. If it is raining, misty or the road is jammed, reduce your speed.
  • Reduce speed when approaching areas where there is pedestrian activity.

Safety / Protection against Criminals

When driving anywhere in South Africa, try to implement the following safety precautions:

  • Always drive with your doors locked and windows wound up, particularly when held at traffic lights.
  • Don’t ever stop to pick up hitchhikers, however innocent, lost, or appealing they seem. If you are concerned about someone’s situation, stop at the following town and report it to the authorities there.
  • Do not leave anything important on display in your car when you leave it unattended, and always lock your car when you leave it, even if you are just going for a few minutes.
  • Try to park in a busy, well-lit area at all times.
  • Take directions from your hosts where you are staying, and inquire if there are any places that tourists should avoid driving through
  • Do not confront hostile or offensive road users.
  • If possible avoid driving at night or in isolated areas.
  • Thieves have been perceived to use different methods to make a vehicle stop, allowing them to rob the occupants. One such method is the laying of big stones in the middle of the road. In the event, it is prudent to carefully drive around the stones or obstruction, rather than stop the vehicle.

General tourism and road safety tips for driving in South Africa

  • Make sure that your vehicle is monitored and checked thoroughly and in good condition before leaving on a journey
  • Always check your vehicle at the start of each day. Check the oil and water, that all indicators and lights are working and that tire pressure is sufficient.
  • Plot your journey to avoid accidental stops [e.g. off-ramps to unknown destinations].
  • If you need to ask for directions, it is ideal to stop at a petrol station and ask the attendants.
  • Always keep a safe following distance and turn your headlights on when visibility is poor, assuring that you are visible to all road users.
  • Always consider the warnings on road signs. Keep in mind that the roads in several rural areas are not enclosed, so you could encounter dogs, chickens, sheep, and even horses or cows along the way, so it may be unsafe to drive at night.
  • Large antelope crossing the road can also be a risk in particular areas. Watch out for the road signs representing a leaping antelope, and take it slowly, particularly in the evening.
