Car Hire In South Africa
By OnTopic | January 30, 2010
I will not give you a list of the most popular car hire companies in South Africa because popularity and excellent service are not always synonymous. I will give you information on the kind of service that you should expect from a good rental agency and then you can use that information to pick one that you think meets these qualities.
If you are going to need the car for a period of more than two days then you should be able to get a company that should be able to offer you a cover charge for the period than the usual daily rates and charge per extra km. A longer lease should qualify for a bigger discount when calculated against the daily rate.
You might also want to know if the cars have any extra features that you are going to need. A good car hire agency will have roof racks for luggage and maybe sports equipment or extra storage facilities. Not for free of course I’m just saying they should have them available should you ever need them.
You should also find out about the terms and conditions of insurance in relation to extra drivers. Normally you would be required to register additional drivers at an extra cost but considering the length of your lease the car rental agency should allow you to have them simply registered and their details filed.
A good car hire agency should be able to arrange your other requirements as well. Basically take care of your flight and accomodation requirements as well. This will normally come at an extra cost to you of course. They should be able to tell you clearly the terms and conditions regarding your lease.
Most agencies will either not point out the penalties and conditions of breach of your contract. You need to be aware of them and their implications. Even though I will not list the popular ones I will just mention them quickly Hertz, Avis, Budget and RAV are just some of the more preferred car hire agencies in the country. I suggest you check out one of the following for a good deal:
