Vehicles and driving in Margate

Margate is one of the best-known holiday towns on the KwaZulu-Natal South Coast, reached via the N2 and the R61. During school holidays the population swells with visitors in cars, caravans and motorhomes, many arriving with tired batteries or trailer light faults after the long drive. The salty, humid coastal climate is hard on electrical connections all year round, and corrosion is a constant battle. The town also has a large community of retirees whose cars often stand for long periods. Local taxis, delivery bakkies and tourism operators depend on reliable vehicles, and sugar cane farming inland adds rural work.
