Buying a car is no longer the clear-cut choice it once was. With interest rates rising, car prices climbing, and hidden finance costs catching buyers off guard, many South Africans are feeling buyer’s remorse before they even make the purchase. If you’re stuck between wanting a car and not wanting the debt,
long term car rental might be the peace of mind you’re looking for.
The shift in car ownership thinking
More people are choosing flexibility over ownership, and it’s not just due to cost. It’s about freedom. The freedom to drive what you need now, without locking yourself into a long term contract or watching your asset lose value over time.
Whether you’re a professional on a contract, a family between vehicles, or a business expanding into new provinces, long term car rental gives you options – and control.
Why long term car rental works
- One monthly fee: No balloon payments or surprise maintenance bills.
- Super Cover and free mileage: Super Cover wavers to help protect you and the car, as well as 3000 free kilometres per month, with the option to purchase additional top-up mileage when making a booking.
