Rent to Own cars through our finance broker service, is free. We refer you to the BEST Rent-to-Buy car companies in South Africa and they pay us a small commission, if you choose to rent a car from them.
Our flexi-drive car rental service does NOT decline you if your credit score is bad or if you do not have enough credit history to qualify for vehicle finance. We want to help you get a car. So why buy cars with endless monthly repayments when you can go the no-finance car rental option?
The Rent To Buy Cars program enables clients that have a negative credit report, to rent a car and at the end of the term, they have the option to own the car. The renter signs an Option-to-Buy the car at the end of the rental term.
Normal finance companies always check your credit profile first and if there are any issues on your credit profile, then they will decline your application. This often happens to young professionals who have not yet built up enough of a credit history. Our car-rental system does not do this. They want your business!
