For cheap car hire in Seoul, you can’t go past a compact car. You’ll save money on the daily booking costs, but you’ll also save on fuel, which is a big deal in South Korea, where fuel prices are generally quite high. A compact car will get you everywhere you need to go in the city, from the lush parks of Han River and the museums and shrines of Jongno to the skyscrapers and neon lights of Gangnam.
On inner-city roads in Seoul, the speed limit will generally be anywhere from 60 km/h to 80 km/h. The highway speed limit can range between 80 km/h and 110 km/h. If your vehicle has a GPS installed, it’s a good idea to use it, as they are quite advanced in South Korea and generally keep you informed of the speed limit at all times.
When you’re in Seoul’s CBD, you can expect to pay for on-street parking. The cost can be anywhere from ₩ 1,000 to ₩ 2,000 per 10min (approximately A$ 1.16-2.32 per 10min, or A$ 6.96 to A$ 13.92 per hour). Major shopping centres like Times Square Mall and Mecenatpolis Mall sometimes charge for parking, but you can often get your ticket validated by making purchases, thus earning yourself free parking. It’s also a good idea to book a hotel that offers free covered parking, like The Mayfield Hotel & Resort or Lotte Hotel World, both of which offer valet parking.
The average price of fuel in Seoul is R88,58 per litre over the past 30 days. Filling up a tank of fuel costs between R1 063 and R1 417, depending on the car size.
Intermediate (Kia Sportage or similar) is the most frequently booked car hire type in Seoul.

Pros:
Nice car with a competitive price.Cons:
When I came to pick up the car, the customer service person at the counter could not speak english at all which was not helpful. Thanksfully another person with whom we were able to speak showed up and properly handled the process. The rental facility of this branch is not referenced on Google Maps. I had to use street view to be sure there actually was an Avis office at the address provided. When customers are on the booking page it would be useful to see a picture of the front window of different offices along with pin on a mini map showing the geograpical location. Then customers can select the branch they are the closest to.10,0 Wonderful

Cons:
The address was not given to me correctly. I had the building but not the actual room number. There are many shops in this building. Also, it was not a Hertz shop, it was a Lotte Rent A Car shop, so this needs to be corrected. Room is on the third floor, go right off of the escalator.2,0 Poor
