When it comes to choosing car rental companies there are number of things that you should be aware of. Planning the trip in advance and doing a little research about the available agencies will also help you.

Do not be misled into thinking that an advance booking will give you discounted rates, normally this is not the case. Car charges are not constant and vary through out the year. So you must be quite clear on the conditions that are described to you and when they apply.

One thing that would really help is knowing how much you want to spend on renting the car, and the different sites that you intend to visit. Then you should be clear on your dates and how flexible you are on these dates. These facts will help you choose the right car and help you when you are negotiating as well.

The best way to make a car booking would be to do it online. Online bookings are convenient for the car rental agencies and they will offer you a discount for booking online. When you are getting your quote from the car rental ask if their cars have any add on features that you might require. Extra features like storage facilities, roof racks for luggage or sports equipment.

Car rentals will have daily rates for a limited number of km and then charge per km there after. Some will offer cover charges for rentals that are up to a week and not consider the number of km’s traveled. Some will require you to pay for extra drivers whilst other just need you to have them written down only. What it comes down to is looking at the original deal, comparing it with others and then good negotiating skills. Some of the agencies that you might want to look are:

  1. Car Hire Sandton Johannesburg
  2. Car Hire Johannesburg For A Week
  3. Hertz Car Rental South Africa
