Renting a Car from First in South Africa: Good to Know

Get the Best Deal With First in South Africa

Choose Convenient Pickup Locations

Select a pickup location that is convenient for you. Some rental companies offer locations within the airport for quick access, while others may require shuttle transportation.
Find the best pickup locations

Know Your Roadside Assistance Options

Before your trip, confirm if your rental includes roadside assistance. This can be crucial in case of breakdowns or emergencies during your rental period.
Check for included roadside assistance

Understand Free Tank Options

Some rental companies offer a free tank of fuel with your rental. Be sure to understand the terms, including how much fuel you need to return the car with and any potential fees for not meeting these conditions.
Make the most of free tank offers

Check for Free Cancellation Policies

Before finalizing your booking, check if the rental company offers free cancellation. This can provide peace of mind if your travel plans change unexpectedly.
Look for flexible cancellation options

Fuel Policies: Full-to-Full vs. Same-to-Same

When renting a car, understand the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy means you return the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' means you return it with the same level of fuel. Full-to-Full is often more cost-effective.
Choose the right fuel policy

Understand Mileage Policies

Some rental agreements come with mileage limits, while others offer unlimited mileage. Make sure to review the mileage policy to avoid unexpected fees.
Know the mileage limits and fees

Research Fuel Prices

Research fuel prices in the area where you'll return the vehicle. Filling up at a local station may be cheaper than paying for fuel through the rental company, especially if they charge higher rates.
Know local fuel prices before returning

Familiarize Yourself with the Vehicle

Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the vehicle's controls and features before driving off. Knowing how to operate essentials like headlights, wipers, and navigation systems can enhance safety and convenience.
Understand car features before driving
