Here are our recommendations on how to jump behind the wheel of a rental car with some extra cash in your pocket:
Get set for a fun-filled adventure in Bota. Which car you decide on depends on what sort of vacation you're planning. If you're traveling by yourself, why not opt for something smaller, like a compact or mini? They're cheap to run and a cinch to park. If you're traveling with a few friends, consider an intermediate or a standard car. They offer more room to move and space for bags.
You'll be glad to hear that there's a huge range of luxury rental vehicles on offer in Bota. What you opt for will depend on your budget and what you plan to do. Specialty and prestige vehicles are all about comfort and class. If you're splashing out, why not pick up a high-end SUV, or perhaps an upmarket mid-sized vehicle? Otherwise, if you just need a set of wheels to get you around town at the cheapest price possible, you're better off going with a budget compact vehicle (or something else that won't burn a hole in your pocket).
Before you get behind the wheel in Bota, get your head around the local road laws. From which side of the road to drive on to parking restrictions, here's what you need to know:
In Bota, motorists drive on the left side of the road. That means the steering wheel is on the right side. If you've chosen a manual transmission rental vehicle, get ready to be changing gears with your left hand.
It's relatively easy to find somewhere to park in Bota, though you might struggle to nab a spot in the busier areas. Staying at a hotel that has parking included is a wise idea.
While navigating through the streets of Bota, keep in mind that the speed limits usually range from 35 km/h to 110 km/h. Residential zones are 35 km/h unless stated otherwise.
Generally speaking, your chosen car rental company will bill the amount stated on the fine to your credit card, including local taxes and surcharges. Or they may supply your information to local authorities, who'll then send a fine directly to you.
Provided you have Bluetooth or similar functions enabled, it's fine to use your phone while driving around Bota. Just make sure you keep focused on the road.
The legal BAC (blood alcohol content) limit while operating a vehicle in Bota is 0.08%. If you're planning on partying, leave your car behind and organize some other way of getting home instead.
Yes, drivers may turn on a red light in Bota. But before doing so, you are required to bring the car to a complete stop. Proceed only when the coast is clear.
