New Rates effective 1 August 2006

Our new rates effective from 1 August 2006 are now updated on the "Prices" page.

We have endeavoured to keep the rates as affordable as possible and have hardly increased our prices in the smaller categories. We have introduced a Group P which is an economy vehicle for the budget conscious traveller. Our Group A now has airconditioning which differentiates us from our competitors and is a result of responding to our clients needs. A couple of exciting additions to the fleet are the Nissan X-Trail 2.0 and the VW Caddy - both in Group X to replace the phased-out Toyota Condor

The fully imported VW T5 Kombi replaces the T4 Caravelle which last year replaced the ageing VW Microbus. This is a vast improvement but comes with a substantially higher price tag, hence the price increase.

Car prices in general have stabilised in SA this year and this has meant that we have managed to keep prices affordable.

The good news is that we have kept the increases at a minimum and our rates are still extremely good value. Also, we offer the only genuine Full Cover option on CDW rates. With us you have no excess to pay on damage to the rented car if you choose this option - compare that to our opposition who sell "Super Cover" which still carries an excess of several thousand rand.

In addition, we genuinely offer rates with no hidden extras - we do not charge for additional drivers, airport taxes, tourism levies, accident admin fee or traffic fine handling fee. These are all points to consider when making your decision on which company to use.

Try us - you won't be sorry !

Put us to the test, hire a car today

Hire a car with us for business in Cape Town, a visit to Johannesburg or a holiday driving down the Garden Route or the Kruger National Park. We have offices in Cape Town, Durban, Johannesburg and Port Elizabeth

On return : Simply leave the car in the public car park. No "Airport Surcharge", No extra for additional drivers.

Public transport in South Africa is adequate but not up to international standards and the renting of a car is by far the most convenient and enjoyable way to see the country and all it has to offer.

We look forward to being of service to you !
