Guidelines for Self-Drive Road Trips and FAQs.
To prevent excessive spending on highways, be aware that traffic can be heavy at times. Always allocate sufficient time for your journey and avoid relying too heavily on GPS, as it may not always provide accurate information. When driving through urban areas, adhere to speed limits of 40 to 50 km per hour. Be cautious when entering National Parks, as the road conditions can be quite poor. Drive slowly to avoid hitting small rocks, which can help minimise the risk of breakdowns that could lead to delays. If you plan to stay in National Parks for more than a day, ensure you have enough fuel (especially petrol), as refuelling options may be limited in some areas. Carry extra fuel and refrain from lighting fires near your vehicle.
