Car Hire in Bloemfontein, South Africa

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.

Before booking a car hire in Bloemfontein, carefully examine the terms from suppliers like Tempest, BLUU CAR RENTAL, and AVIS. Focus on details such as payment card requirements, deposits, cross-border travel rules, and driving licence specifications to avoid unexpected issues.

Many car hire deals in Bloemfontein require a credit card for the deposit. If you only have a debit card, use our website's filter to find options that accommodate it or consider getting a credit card. Make sure the main driver’s card is used to prevent any extra charges.

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.

Some areas may have restrictions; ensure you know where you can and cannot drive.

Before driving away from Bloemfontein , thoroughly inspect the car for any damage. Document any existing damage with photos or video to avoid disputes later on.

For short trips, car-sharing services may be more economical and flexible.

If sharing driving responsibilities, check the policies regarding additional drivers. Some companies charge fees for each extra driver, while others may include it for free under certain conditions.
