Vehicles and driving in George

George is the main commercial and transport centre of the Garden Route, sitting on the N2 where the N9 and N12 climb the Outeniqua Pass to Oudtshoorn and the Karoo. Holidaymakers towing caravans and trailers pass through in large numbers over the December season, often needing urgent trailer light, fridge or charging repairs. The surrounding timber plantations, dairy farms and hop fields keep logging trucks, tractors and farm bakkies on the road. George gets frequent rain and misty mornings, so moisture in connectors and corroded earth points are common faults, and the airport adds rental car and shuttle fleets to the local workload.
