Vehicles and driving in Stellenbosch

Stellenbosch combines a busy university town with some of the country's best-known wine estates. Thousands of students drive older hatchbacks that suffer from neglected batteries, failing starter motors and dim headlights, while estate owners and farm managers rely on bakkies and tractors through the harvest. Tourism adds shuttle vans and tour vehicles that must stay reliable on the R44 and the Helshoogte Pass. Hot, dry summers in the valley take a toll on batteries, and winter rain tests the seals on light units and connectors.
