When considering car hire in Upington, we recommend a compact SUV or a sedan. The city has wide streets, but an SUV will provide better handling on gravel roads, if you plan to explore the surrounding areas. A sedan is a good option for city driving and manoeuvring through traffic. Keep in mind that some streets in the city centre, like Schröder Street, are known for being narrow.

The speed limit in Upington is generally 60 km/h (37 mph) in urban areas and 120 km/h (75 mph) on major roads, unless otherwise stated. Pay attention to signage as speed limits can vary.

Some of the common locations where speed cameras are often placed include Nelson Mandela Drive, the main road in Upington, as well as along major highways like the N10 and N14.
