By far the best car rental. I always use Drive Africa.
My friend and I arrived in Cape Town with a plan to buy a motorbike and ride to Tanzania. We had little idea what would be needed in terms of documentation for crossing borders in Southern Africa. Alex was tremendously helpful to us in guiding us through the logistics of the process and navigating recent changes in South African vehicle registration laws. He is truly an expert in this arena. Alex went above and beyond what we would have expected from anyone and literally saved us weeks of time getting underway with our trip.
I first made contact with Drive Africa in 2005 while browsing car rental in South Africa, my plan was to hire a vehicle for our 3 month stay. I noticed that they did a "buyback" scheme, it all sounded a great idea and Im delighted we went down that road. We were looked after so well by Alex and his team that we have used Drive Africa ever since. Now Alex is doing rental only and this year we have received the same sort of service as we have always had. I consider that we were very lucky to find them, they are an honest, trustworthy, and fair company. Mike Evans, Norfolk, England
The team at Drive Africa provide an exceptional service. I have been a customer for over two years, initially through their long term, buy back service and now for rental. Not only are their prices very competitive, but (unlike the larger hire firms) they can offer a flexible, personal hire service. Drive Africa is exactly what you need from a car hire firm, reliable vehicles, low rates and a team with local knowledge to get you on your journey.
After the stress of planning a holiday schedule for my trip to South Africa, I wasn’t looking forward to finding an affordable car rental. We’d decided to road trip through the Garden Route and then up to Johannesburg along the East Coast before heading back to Cape Town and needed a reliable car that would get us there safely and in one peace. I was surprised however, that when I typed my search into Google I found the website of Drive Africa – a car rental company that offered long term car rental. I found exactly what I was looking for online and contacted them quickly. We had an unforgettable holiday experience and couldn’t have asked for a more comfortable or affordable vehicle for our adventure. Thank you Drive Africa!
At first I was a little skeptical due to Drive Africa almost having 'too many glowing reviews' on here, but I'm happy to say that skepticism was misplaced. Alex and the Drive Africa crew did excellent work for me. They fixed numerous issues on my vehicle and got it through roadworthy for me without me having to do anything other than approve quotes & what needed fixing over the phone. They supplied their end-to-end service at a very low cost, to the extent that I'm not even going to bother trying to find another mechanic in Cape Town for future work as I can't see anyone else providing a better deal. Based on my experience you'd be silly not to give Drive Africa a go.
