                Our Car Hire Offers & Deals

                Senior Driver Car Hire Johannesburg

                Once you pass the age of 75 years old, some suppliers do not offer car hire to you. We think this is wrong and regardless of your age you should still be able to hire a car for your holiday. We offer senior driver car hire; this means you can hire a car all the way up until your 99 years old.

                Young Driver Car Hire Johannesburg

                Hiring a car as a young driver can prove to be very difficult as suppliers either will not allow you to hire a car or will charge you an extortionate amount. We have arranged young driver car hire that allows drivers from the age of 18 years old to hire a car. For this offer you must have held your licence for at least 1 year. As a young driver depending on your age you may be charged a young driver surcharge, however this will be kept to a minimum and you will know about it before you book.

                Debit Card Car Hire Johannesburg

                If you do not have a credit card or simply don’t like to use your credit card, car hire can be tricky to find.

In order to hire a car with a debit card, your card must meet some restrictions that have been put in place by the supplier. To verify if your card complies with these restrictions, please get in contact with our team directly.

We can offer car hire with a low deposit, so you have more money to spend while you’re on holiday.

                Yes, providing you have held your licence for at 1 year and are at least 18 years old.

                Do I need to pass a credit check if using my debit card to hire?

                If renting a car in the UK and you are a UK resident most of the large multinational suppliers will carry out an electronic address check to ensure you have strong enough links to the address provided. However most of the suppliers with the exception of 1 or 2, still carry out the same checks so not unique to when you need to hire via a debit card. Key indicator are if you are named on the Electoral Register and named on the council tax bill.

                When renting a car overseas as an inbound client our suppliers do not carry out any checks.

                Do I need to leave a deposit if hiring with a debit card?

                Most suppliers do require a security deposit when renting a car, in the UK we have a range of options. The best value suppliers would request a £200.00 – £300.00 deposit. However we do have selected locations where our supplier does not require any deposit, so a full zero deposit.

                In Europe we have options where you can just leave a fuel deposit of 110 EUR, and there is no mandatory requirement to take the Super Cover as this can be the case with some of the smaller budget suppliers.
