About Us

We have been running the website SouthAfricaCarHire.com for almost a decade as a car rental comparison and booking website.  Within the last few years, we have partnered up with CarTrawler, giving our clients an even larger range of vehicles over the best car hire companies in South Africa.  CarTrawler is known for their excellent prices in the industry – we have brought this service South Africa.  Companies that are listed on our site include Sixt car hire, Avis, Thrifty car hire, Europcar, Tempest car hire and a few other reputable and national car hire companies.

About the booking engine…

The booking engine on the website offers both local and international clients several options when generating a quote.  Its very simple to do – choose the location that you would like to pick up the vehicle first, and then enter the start and end date of your rental.  This is important for the quoting process, as the prices change accordingly.  Enter your age, and then choose the type of vehicle that you would like a quote on.  You can choose the “show all” option as well.  The booking engine gives you the option of changing the currency to your preference, or selects the South African Rand as a standard.

Once you click on the “search” button, all the factors that you have entered will be taken into account and you will be presented with several car hire options.  From this page you can select certain groups of vehicles, make the booking, or have the quote emailed to you for further perusal.

Once you have made your booking, you will receive an email with the relevant information. The email will also have your reservation number, assuring you of the vehicle group that you have requested. For any questions, you can contact one of the South African car hire call centers on the contact page.
