Question 1

Is it cheaper to hire a car for a week with Firefly in Upington

Accepted Answer

Sometimes it can be cheaper to hire a car for a week rather than for a shorter period, but it's better to double-check while booking.

Question 2

Do I need to return the vehicle with a full tank of gas?

Accepted Answer

The Firefly fuel policy you select in Upington will determine your fueling responsibilities. With a full-to-full or same-to-same option, you need to return the car with the same amount of fuel it had at pickup. If not, you'll be charged for the missing fuel at a rate higher than the local gas stations. Alternatively, you can choose to prepay for a full tank. This means you won't need to refuel the car before returning it. However, the cost will be higher overall since you'll be charged the local gas price minus a per-gallon discount, leading to an increased total cost.
