What qualifies as cheap car rental with Pace Car Rental?

At Pace Car Rental, cheap car rental refers to our budget-friendly vehicle hire options that do not compromise on reliability, safety or service. Our economy vehicles start from a low daily rate and include benefits such as Super Cover and 200 km per day on selected deals.

Are there hidden costs or surprise fees when booking a cheap rental?

No. Pace Car Rental focuses on transparent pricing. We clearly indicate what is included in the rate, such as Super Cover and the daily kilometre allowance. Any potential extras, such as additional kilometres, additional drivers or one-way fees, are explained before you confirm your booking.

What are the mileage and fuel terms for cheap car rentals?

For most budget rentals, up to 200 km per day is included in the rate for short-term hires. We operate a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you receive the vehicle with a full tank and must return it full to avoid refuelling charges. If you exceed the included kilometres, additional per-kilometre charges will apply.

Do I need a credit card to book a cheap rental vehicle?

You do not always need a credit card. Pace Car Rental accepts cash, debit card and EFT for many rental options, including cheap car rentals. Deposit amounts and waiver options may vary depending on the payment method and vehicle group.

What is the minimum age and driver licence requirement for booking a cheap car?

In most cases you need to be at least 23 years old to rent a passenger vehicle from Pace Car Rental. You must hold a valid driver’s licence, such as a South African licence for residents or an international licence or permit for visitors, and provide a valid ID or passport.

Can I extend my rental if I want the car for longer than originally planned?

Yes. You can usually extend your booking with Pace Car Rental, subject to vehicle availability and payment of any difference in rate. Longer rental periods often attract lower daily rates, so extending your hire can reduce the average cost per day.

Are one-way rentals allowed for cheap car hires?

One-way rentals may be available depending on the branch, route and vehicle group. In some cases a one-way fee or additional conditions may apply. It is best to confirm one-way availability and any applicable charges with the reservations team before finalising your booking.

Can I rent a cheap car for a long-term period, such as monthly rental?

Yes. Pace Car Rental offers long-term and monthly car rental, and many budget vehicles are available on these plans. Longer rentals can provide excellent value because the daily rate is often lower than short-term hire.

What happens if I damage the cheap rental car or it is stolen?

If the vehicle is damaged or stolen, you must immediately report the incident to Pace Car Rental and follow the instructions provided by our team. Do not move or tow the vehicle unless you are told to do so. Your liability will depend on the cover selected, including the applicable excess or waiver terms stated in your rental agreement.
