I will not give you a list of the most popular car hire companies in South Africa because popularity and excellent service are not always synonymous. I will give you information on the kind of service that you should expect from a good rental agency and then you can use that information to pick one that you think meets these qualities.
If you are going to need the car for a period of more than two days then you should be able to get a company that should be able to offer you a cover charge for the period than the usual daily rates and charge per extra km. A longer lease should qualify for a bigger discount when calculated against the daily rate.
Another thing that you can find out about are the add on features that you might need. A good car hire company will have roof racks for luggage and maybe sports equipment or extra storage facilities. Not for free of course I’m just saying they should have them available should you ever need them.
Find out the requirements of having extra drivers included in the lease agreement. Normally you would be required to register additional drivers at an extra cost but considering the length of your lease the car rental agency should allow you to have them simply registered and their details filed.
A good car hire agency should be able to arrange your other requirements as well. That is book your flights, tours, cruises and so on. This will normally come at an extra cost to you of course. A good agency will explan the conditions of your lease to you in detail.
Most agencies will either not point out the penalties and conditions of breach of your contract. You should be clear as to what these are and how they affect you. Did I say I wouldn’t mention the popular ones I was just kidding? The most commonly used agencies in the country are Avis, RAV, Hertz and Budget. If you want to access them and compare them all at once just look up any of these:
