you will see eye to eye with me on how
extremely affordable and unique car hire is in South Africa. Well without much further waste of
your time; let me get into the thick of things.
Drive South Africa Car Hire
In our car hire reviews in South Africa
we will start by looking at Drive South Africa. The coming about of
this car rental came about in the year 2002, and at that time it was a basically a Cape Town car
hire specialist. However this company has steadily grown in leaps and bounds and has attracted a
diverse amount of clientele that require car rental services. This company as much as it has grown
has not lost or given up it roots, as it still maintains that Cape Town is their backyard, but by
no means their limit.
This is very true when you look at that now they
have branches even in Botswana and Namibia. Even after the acquisition of these
other
Southern African branches
, a team of passionate travel advisors is always
at hand to provide you with exceptional client service. So as you can see Drive South Africa is
certainly more than your average car hire. They also have other services like chauffeur services,
exciting self drive adventures and also 4x4 hire.
On these tours and also with the car hire you will
be assisted with whatever you need by the highly trained team of customer service representatives,
and travel advisors. So with that being said, you certainly are guaranteed a truly memorable
Southern African holiday.
This I assure because this is taking into
consideration that the price for a daily rental of a compact economy car is somewhere around $23,
vans or bakkies as they are known in this part of the world are priced around $113 a day and luxury
cars tend to cost around $142 per day to rent.
One of the Drive South Africa branches can be
found at the following address, 38 Hout Street, cnr Burg Street, Cape Town, South Africa, 8001, or you can call them on these
numbers, Tel: 021 423 1912 or 021 423 6957, or you can email them at info@drivesouthafrica.co.za
When you get to this site be sure to
also check out their chauffeur drive package.
Europcar South Africa Car Hire
Moving on with our car hire reviews in South
Africa . Europcar is one South Africa’s leading car rentals,
and also boasts that it is truly a South African company as it forms part of the IMPERIAL group of
companies. Even though this car hire has been a major player in the car rental business for over 30
years customer service is still the one thing they live by. This is also another company which has
gone through serious growth over the years, as it has more than
120 branches across Southern Africa. These
branches can be found even in the other African countries like Swaziland, Namibia, Lesotho and
Botswana.
What you also must know and I must mention here,
in this car hire reviews in South Africa page,
is that SouthAfriCar is also an agent for Europcar, South Africa. These car rentals together,
provide the customer with cars, at affordable rates. One of the places you can find this car rental
is at the following address, Hilton Hotel, Shop B3, 12-14 Walnut Road, Marine Parade. Or you call
the number, 0861131000 or +27115741000, this is their 24 hour call center numbers, and if you can’t
get in touch with them using these means then you can simply

Thrifty car hire in
South Africa
This is yet another car hire that can be found in
South Africa, and other than the fact that they have constantly been aiming to be South Africa’s
number one car hire company, especially for the money-conscious traveler, they are also true proof
of how far South Africa has come as this is one car rental that is part of the South African Black
Empowerment entity. This rental also incorporates, unparalleled professionalism, honesty and
delivers exceptional service as it goes about conducting its business, plus the exceptional budget
vehicles.
Thrifty
is kind of like a yardstick for other
businesses as it is part of the Safy group, and is committed to ensuring a clean and safe working
environment, and it also encourages staff development through training schedules. Thrifty car hire
can be visited at the following addresses, Cape Town Airport, telephone number 0219362121, or email
them at cptairport@thrifty.co.za. You can also reach thrifty car hire at Bloemfontein airport, and
their number is 0514334506 or you can email them to at ziyaad@thrifty.co.za.
Above I have just taken the liberty to only give
you just three of the leading car rental services in South Africa. This is just a simple guide to
show you the readily available means you can make use of to make things simpler on yourself. There
are more steps and tips that I will provide you with below on how to further go about this exercise
of car hire reviews in South Africa This I say because
these are not the only ways you can use to rent a car in South Africa, and also these are not the
only car hire service providers in South Africa.
Summary
What is certainly clear here is that we can go on and on and on discussing car
hire services in South Africa as it is clear there are numerous of them, therefore your options
are basically limitless.
Also something of considerable note is just how quickly and diversely these car hires have grown,
in the few years (for some), to be able to now even have branches in other Southern African
countries.
Another thing I love the most is that all have the common goal of providing their services at the
lowest possible rate each can afford so as to satisfy and lend a helping hand to the
money-conscious traveler (this we shall further see below).
Lastly what is also great is to know that they all put their client’s satisfaction, and exercise
very high professionalism, when going about their business.
Additional information
As already stated above, these car hire services
in South Africa are just too many, thus the car hire reviews in South
Africa are just too vast, thus I will just give you a few
more.

Reviews:
Tempest car hire
Tempest car hire simply came about as a result of
there being a need or there being a gap in the car hire market for a car hire service that was
extremely economical and that would offer personalized service. This was tempests’ chance and it
was seized with both hands, and all this was way back in 1986.
Even today Tempest is very much price sensitive,
and is dedicated to cut costs in order to offer great value for money so that there are no qualms
when renting with them. Tempest also does give back to the community as is evident with their
partnership with Dreamfields.
With Tempest standard cover for a car like a Kia
Picanto, costs as little as $19.5 a day for 1-6 days, with discounted rates applying the longer you
have the car in your possession, for if you were to have it for a month you would have to pay $16.3
a day. Luxury vehicles range in the region of $87 to $89, per day for 1-6 days and $73 to $75 if
you are to “own” the car for a month. For an in depth look, visit the
Tempest car hire
website.

sourcing the best prices around the world before putting forward their own price. Should it happen
