Car Rental in Pretoria

Convertible rental in Pretoria

The most widespread cabriolet models offered for rent in South Africa are: Peugeot 206 Cabriolet and Renault Megane Cabriolet.

At the booking time, please check the rental conditions carefully. Quite often, rental offices in Pretoria require two credit cards to guarantee issuance of a cabrio or a roadster.

We recommend ordering additional no-excess insurance that covers your risk (franchise), since the franchise amount for cabriolets in South Africa is quite high.

Make sure to inspect the rental invoice issued at the office in Pretoria and compare it with the information indicated in your voucher. Sometimes, rental officers make 'unintentional' mistakes in rental invoices.

In parking garage, examine the vehicle for defects and scratches carefully. If you find any of them, check whether they have been specified in your rental document.

When parking a cabriolet in Pretoria, it is recommended to unfold the roof and close windows in order to prevent theft or robbery.

It will be easier to pay with money of little face-value, because salespeople often imitates the lack of change.

In restaurants and cafes clients must leave the tips, 10% of the total price will be quite enough. Taxi drivers, Spa-centers’, beauty shops’ and hairdressing salons’ employees will expect the same tips. You can give 2-3 rands to housemaid or porter in the hotel.
