Rental info and charges

• Rates and conditions are subject to change without prior notice and all vehicles are rented subject to the detailed terms and conditions published on the back of our Rental Agreement and also available on our website within the Rental Handbook section 'Terms and Conditions'

1.     Credit cards will be accepted as payment; we also accept debit and cheque cards with major participating South African banks are accepted. These include:

·         Nedbank

·         Standard Bank

·         First National Bank

·         ABSA

·         Capitec

·         Mercantile Bank

Regrettably, we do not accept cash, cheques or bank transfers.

2.     The card holder must be the renter and the card is not transferable. In other words, the card holder and the primary driver must be the same person and needs to be present at the time of collecting the vehicle.

3.     How payment works: Upon collection of the vehicle, your card will be charged with the rental amount, an additional day's rental and a tank of fuel. Any expenses for extras will also be billed. Additionally, an authorisation hold will be placed on your card for the applicable reduced liability amount; this hold will be released within 4 to 14 working days once the car has been returned, providing there is no accident or theft damage. For debit and cheque cards the reduced liability amount will be added to the deposit and charged as one amount. We will require your account details for the refund to be processed.

4.     The Renter must be in possession of a credit, debit or cheque card and 2 valid forms of identification for the rental of Group E vehicles. A valid, unendorsed driver's license is a pre-requisite and a second form of identification such as an ID Book, Passport, Medical Aid card or ATM Card must be shown to validate the Renter's credentials.

1. Reduced Liability
   Rates are inclusive of collision damage waivers and theft waivers. In the event of an accident you are liable for the reduced liability amounts as shown below:-
   
   Please note the reduced liability amounts do not cover repairs to tyres, windscreens, glass and under-carriage, and the costs for these repairs will be for the Renter. Should these components be damaged as a result of an accident, they are covered by the reduced liability amount.

   • Where damage to a vehicle is caused by you and no other vehicle is involved, and the damage is less than R50,000, the Renter is liable for the reduced liability amount. Should the damage exceed R50,000, the Renter is liable for the Exceptions amount. This applies to both standard and super waivers.
   • Where damage to a vehicle is caused by you whilst driving on roads not suitable for it, on weekend rentals and where the vehicle is uneconomical to repair, the exception liability amount is payable.
