Satisfied customer

I've used carrentals.co.uk before and always been happy. This time I needed a car in South Africa for 2 weeks. The company First Car was new to me but there were no queues, everybody was friendly and the whole experience of getting and returning the car was straightforward. Of course, the price was good as well.

Good customer service

carrental through bidvest in Durban

It was simple and straight forward and the staff at Bidvest were friendly and helpful.The only dissappointment was that we were given a suzuki swift instead of a ford Fiesta.

Car Rental is my go to search engine…

Car Rental is my go to search engine fir car rental, wherever I go. The results are clear, concise and provide a good choice of vehicles at different price points. My only criticism is that, from time to time, individual terms required y car rental companies are not accessible until after I choose a vehicle.

Read properly what you are getting!

This is a comparison site and will probably give you the best prices. I use then frequently. BUT check what you are getting for the money! Check with the car hire company directly.

Great company and did what I needed it…

Would recommend Car Rentals

Would recommend Car Rentals. In my experience, renting cars never goes smoothly (getting something different to what you paid for, being charged for unfair damage etc) and the car hire companies don't normally excel in customer service to say the least. Renting with Car Rentals rather than directly with the hire company worked very well as they had a very efficient customer service team. Our car was supplied by First car rentals and the category of car that we paid for was not available. We were given a car several categories below but no refund. When we returned from holiday a short call with Car rentals resulted in a significant refund.

Hatfield Menlyn BMW Pretoria East

South Africa’s capital city is a lot more pleasant than its former association with the apartheid government would suggest. Situated a mere half hour’s drive north of the metropolis of Johannesburg, it is an unhurried city, typified by streets lined with its iconic purple jacaranda trees, government departments and a handful of interesting museums.

The sweeping Union Buildings are considered one of the country’s architectural masterpieces. Built in an arc facing the enormous park in which hundreds of thousands came to witness Nelson Mandela’s 1994 inauguration, the buildings are closed to the public, but the spacious, terraced gardens command fine views of the city.

Across the city is the Vortrekker Monument, a stout edifice dominating the skyline and built to commemorate the Afrikaner pioneers who travelled north to settle the area in the late 1800s. It includes a museum and a view point at its summit. The magnificent Melrose house, in the city centre, is where the peace treaty ending the Boer war, was signed.

Pretoria is one of the safest cities in South Africa for strolling around the CBD, practical for pedestrians and full of restaurants and coffee shops, but it becomes dead by night as people typically retreat to shopping malls and entertainment precincts out in the suburbs.

Around the city are a number of pleasant, green, undulating suburbs. One unusual attraction is the Wonderboom, a tree of enormous girth. Pioneer open-air museum gives visitors an intriguing insight into settler life 150 years ago. Other worthwhile museums include the Eksteen transport museum, Art museum and Police museum. There are also the Botanical gardens, Austin Roberts bird sanctuary and Zoo for outdoor lovers.

By car you can also make an excursion to nearby Haartebeestpoort dam and the tranquil Magaliesburg, al little further on (90 minutes) is the famous Sun City casino and entertainment resort.

Pretoria is serviced by Johannesburg international Airport (40 mins drive), a major regional hub, and shuttles can be arranged from here.

Is Carrentals.co.uk the cheapest?

Yes, we offer a guarantee of the lowest price - because we compare various retailers, we can always offer you the best price in town.

What do I need to do when picking up a car?

To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver. Keep in mind that the local rental company will reserve a certain amount on your credit card as a deposit. This requires the PIN code for your credit card. If your driver's license is foreign (for example, in Chinese), you must bring a translation with you. Only your original passport and driver's license will be accepted - a copy is not sufficient.

Are there any additional costs?

In general, our rates are all-inclusive. Should there be any additional costs, our booking department will get in touch with you before issuing the invoice. Should you object, you can always cancel your reservation with no obligations attached (at least 48 hours in advance).

What kind of insurance is applicable to my car rental?

In general, Liability Insurance, Fire Insurance, All-Risks Insurance and Theft Insurance are included in the cost of your rental car.

What is a worry-free label?

This label indicates that a rental car satisfies the following requirements: Unlimited kilometers, no excess liability (and no excess cover available), sustainable energy policy, and that the car rental company has a good reputation. Availability of cars satisfying these four requirements will speed up the selection of a suitable vehicle for you.

How can I change or cancel my reservation?

You can cancel your reservation through "My Account". We recommend contacting us by phone if your changes to your booking or cancellation takes place at short notice (48 hours or less).

When will I get a confirmation of my booking?

Most reservations will receive confirmation within minutes after payment takes place. We recommend contacting our Booking Department for last minute reservations (pick-up within 48 hours).
