Car Hire with RaC SA

If traveling with pets, be sure to check the rental agency's pet policy. While some companies allow pets, there may be extra fees or specific requirements.

Typically, car rental companies require a credit card deposit that is temporarily held. Make sure to ask about the specific deposit amount and how it's handled once you return the vehicle.

If you plan to have another person drive, confirm if the rental company allows a second driver and whether there are any additional fees. Some may provide complimentary additional drivers under certain conditions.

If you have a specific vehicle in mind, opt for rentals that guarantee your chosen car type. This ensures that you receive the vehicle you expect, rather than being offered an alternative.

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 up fuel prices in the area where you'll return the vehicle. Refueling at a local station is often cheaper than paying the rental company's rates.

Before leaving the rental location, inspect the car for any existing damage and ensure it’s documented. Take photos if necessary to avoid disputes when returning the vehicle.

Ensure your rental agreement, identification, and insurance details are readily available throughout your rental period for easy access if needed.
