6 Feb 2012 We hired a Volkswagen Polo from Europcar O.R. Tambo |
2 Feb 2012 Rental required from King Shaka Durban pick up Thursday 15 March at 14.00. We are leaving from Harbour on cruise on 19 March returning on 23 March (will not require vehicle for those 4 days) but require vehicle again from 23 March at 10 a.m. and would drop off again at King Shaka Durban on Monday March 26th at 12.30 a.m. Need small vehicle with power steering - 4 door aircon optional. |
The best quote I managed to get for you was from Europcar. These quotes are for the Hyundai i20 or similar with aircon, power steering and free 200 km/day. In addition a fee of R 250 will have to be paid each time they pick-up and deliver the car at Durban Harbour for you. |
30 Jan 2012 Looking for a Polo vivo in Capetown for 16/02/2012 to 19/02/2012. |
Best quote I could get for you was for R 979 (price subject to change) for a Polo Vivo with power steering, aircon & free 200 km/day. |
28 Jan 2012 I need a quote for a SUV car from Joburg to Kruegerpark and back from 28.02-03.03.2012 |
Cheapest is a Daihatsu Terios going for R2095 |

What are waivers? Waivers are to do with the potential limitation of claims against the person hiring the car in the event of loss of or damage to the vehicle.
What is the difference between a standard waiver and a super waiver? The renter is responsible for paying an excess amount if the car is damaged, with super waivers the excess is lower than for standard waivers (but the price is higher). In the case of negligence (e.g. accident due to alcohol or drug consumption, allowing an unauthorised person to drive the car, or the car is stolen when it was left unlocked), the renter is liable not just for the excess, but for the full amount of damage (i.e. the waiver is not honoured).
What is personal accident insurance (PAI)? For a fee, you may take out PAI, which provides some cover for occupants of the car in the event of an accident.
After renting, can your friends drive the car? No, unless other drivers have been included on the vehicle hire contract (and additional driver surcharges paid to cover the waivers), just the person who signed the car hire contract is allowed to drive.
Can anybody hire a car? People who have had a driver's lience for more than 2 years and are over 23 years or older (Younger drivers may be charged a surcharge), may rent a vehicle.
Can you pay by bank transfer? No, all customers must pay by credit card to enable the car rental company to hold a deposit to finance any damage or loss to the car. When you return the undamaged car, your credit card is refunded within 3 days. The exception is if you are are travelling on a company account.
How do you decide how many days to charge for? One day is 24 hours. So, if you hire a car at 11 am on Monday and drop it off at 12am on Tuesday, the vehicle rental period is 2 days.
