Car hire in South Africa
Here's the cheapest car hire quotes we did this week for car hire. Note that prices could well have changed since we did these quotes. Navigate here to request a car rental quote.
Car hire from Johannesburg
I would like to enquire the cheapest quote for car hire for 5 people from Lanseria Airport to Sun City and back from 6 to 13 January 2011 |
The smallest car I'd be willing to squeeze 5 people in is a Toyota Yaris (depending on their size). This goes for R1917 at Car Trawler. But unless the people are small, I'd pay R300 more and go for the Renault Megane. |
Can you provide me with the best price to hire a car from Johannesburg international airport to George on Friday 10 Feb 2012. |
Best price is R780 , but that has limited mileage of 100km (after which you pay R1.17/km). I suggest you rather pay R879 for an unlimited mileage deal on a Chev Spark (R279 + R600 one-way fee). |

Hopefully we'll be back to exploring London's magical streets soon! South Africa is currently on the UK's Red List, which means only British nationals are allowed to travel from South Africa to the UK and then they have to complete 10 days quarantine in a hotel. There are no direct flights connecting South Africa to the UK currently.

The Bottom Line: Eish, yesterday's Comair trading statement is not looking good: "Based on a review of Comair's results for the first four months of the half year to December 2011 ("reporting period") and current trends, it is expected that the Company's headline earnings and earnings per share will show a loss for the reporting period due primarily to significant cost increases including a 70% increase in the fees of Airports Company South Africa, high oil prices and a weakening Rand. As a result of the foregoing, Comair is required to issue a trading statement. Comair cannot at this stage with reasonable certainty quantify the extent of its results for the reporting period within the 20% range required by the JSE Listing Requirements. Comair's balance sheet, however, remains strong and it is well positioned to take advantage of any opportunities that present themselves in the future. A further trading statement for the reporting period will be issued once the Company has more certainty with regard to its results. The forecast financial information on which this trading statement is based has not been reviewed and reported on by Comair's external auditors."
