car rental or short term lease

[deanrobert7]

Hi

I will shortly be arriving in south africa to work a short term contract (6 months, maybe longer) and I have been told that a lot of contractors allready living there rent cars rater than buy one. Are the rental rates reasonable or can you arrange a short term lease?

Cheers

Dean

Hi Dean,

What did you find out was the best option...I am heading out for four months with work and have had some ridiculous car hire quotes.

Any advice very welcome!

Car hire on monthly average rates in SA starts from $980- average $1300-1600 per month .
There is a European company that gave me a great deal, but you have to have a foreign drivers license to get it . Contact me private messages and I will give you the info.

If you hire watch out they dont give you a Chico, the favourite of cheap car hire companies. it will do 0 to 60 in three or four days with a following wind, brakes work every second or third press (mind you will be going so slowly you could jump out and grab the back bumper). It will start when it is good and ready to and not before. It would appear that the steering wheel is only for show and has no direct input to the direction of the car.
