AFRIRENT CAR RENTAL: HOME-GROWN

In a market completely dominated by European and US companies, local companies (and certainly black-owned local companies) has notoriously struggled to make a significant impact on the car rental business.

Apart from a handful that has been around for more than a decade, the stories of struggling or failed car rental companies are abound.

Enter Afrirent with a 14 year heritage and bullet-proof reputation in end-to-end fleet management expertise. Combined with equity in automotive retail dealerships, which allows for in-house vehicle acquisition and disposal into the rapidly growing used vehicle market, Afrirent is perfectly poised to challenge the car rental status quo.

In 2017 we opened our first car rental office at Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport in Nelspruit with plans to expand to other national airports and business centres soon.

With a full complement of vehicles on offer from budget hatches, luxury sedans, SUVs, minibuses, commercial bakkies to off-road and overland vehicles, we can cater for the needs of any traveller, tourist or business.

Our focus is always on exceptional value for money, extraordinary customer services and top quality products. All our vehicles are brand new and will never have more than 30,000km on the odometer, ensuring complete peace of mind motoring for our clients.

Backed by the robust management, heritage and trusted brand rapport of Afrirent Fleet Management, Afrirent Car Rentals’ has a non-negotiable customer focused strategy, set to become a revered home-grown player in this competitive industry.
