Roads in Pretoria are well-established, especially the urban roads. Thus, if your destinations revolve around the city, consider a smaller vehicle to help you beat the traffic on most city roads.

If you plan to visit destinations away from urban areas, look for a well-raised vehicle for navigation. In that case, an SUV is a great option for travelers on a budget.
