All-inclusive rental cars in Johannesburg
Compare rental cars in Johannesburg (South Africa) from 5 different car rental brokers. Cheap, all-inclusive & no hidden costs!
Our car rental brokers Cars For Less, RentalCars, Atlas Choice, Affordable Car Hire and Economy Bookings negotiate the best deals with all international and local car rental companies in Johannesburg. Every broker has his own search form to check available rental cars.
Renting a car via our brokers is cheap and without unpleasant surprises: unlimited mileage, local taxes, airport delivery and almost all insurances are included in the quoted price. Compare their rental conditions.
The only extra insurance you may want is a No Risk Warranty to cover excess plus damage to tires, windows, roof and undercarriage. All brokers offer this insurance for a fair price: much cheaper than at the pick-up desk of the car rental company!
Excess insurance is mandatory because your own risk may already be covered by your travel insurance (including some credit card travel insurances).

Comment: Despite numerous emails we are no closer to getting the hold placed on our credit card released. We were also charged for fuel even though we had filled up the car prior to returning. When we pointed out to Budget that they had incorrect information it took a while for a reply and an apology though no closer to having our problems sorted.
