Here’s How It Works
African Bank has teamed up with Pace Car Rental to bring you something audacious – a car rental experience that gives back. Whether you’re renting for the weekend or booking long term, you can now earn Audacious Rewards points just for paying with your African Bank card.
When you book a vehicle from Pace Car Rental and pay using your African Bank credit or debit card, you automatically earn up to 50% back in Audacious Rewards points.
