  • Frequently Asked Questions About Monthly Car Hire
    • How long is a long term/monthly car rental?

      A long term or monthly car rental is any vehicle booking that runs for one to twelve months. This option is ideal if you’re in South Africa for extended work trips, long holidays, or even a temporary relocation. Compared to short-term car hire, it offers lower monthly rates, greater flexibility, and the convenience of extending your rental as your plans evolve.

    • What’s included in the rental rate?

      Your monthly rate covers everything you need to drive with peace of mind. This includes 3,000 free kilometres, comprehensive insurance with optional Super Cover, and full vehicle maintenance. You won’t need to worry about surprise servicing costs or breakdowns. If you expect to drive more, you can add extra mileage or adjust your deposit based on your preferences.

    • Can I swap my rental car during my rental?

      Absolutely. If your needs change, you’re welcome to swap your rental car at any point during your booking. Whether you need something larger, more compact, or fuel-efficient, we’ll help you switch to a better fit—subject to availability. Just reach out to our team and we’ll take care of the rest.

    • What payment options do you offer?

      We aim to make payment as easy as possible. You can pay via EFT, debit card, credit card, or even cash at selected branches. We accept cards from all major South African banks including Capitec, FNB, African Bank, ABSA, Nedbank, and Standard Bank. Payments are made monthly in advance, so your rental never gets interrupted.

    • What deposit will I need to pay?

      A refundable deposit is required and typically ranges between R4,000 and R11,000. The exact amount depends on the vehicle group you select and whether you choose Super Cover or the Standard Waiver. The deposit is held for the duration of your rental and refunded in full if the car is returned in good condition, with no major damage or excess mileage.

    • How does the mileage top-up work?

      Your monthly rental includes 3,000 km, but if you expect to go further, you can easily top up. We offer an additional 100 km per day at a discounted rate, which you can add when you book. It’s a great option if you’re planning road trips, commute long distances, or just want the freedom to explore without worrying about overage fees.

    • What documents are required to rent a car monthly?

      To rent a vehicle, you’ll need to provide a valid South African ID or a passport if you’re an international visitor, along with a valid driver’s licence. If your licence is not in English, a certified translation or international permit is required. These documents help us confirm your eligibility and get your car ready for collection.
