First Car Rental at Pietermaritzburg Airport
Customer Ratings and Latest Reviews
Because we want to make sure each review listed here is left by a real customer, we don’t have the option to post a review here. Instead, we ask each and every customer to leave a review after they return their rental car. This way, you know that all reviews are authentic.
Cons: Efficiency of the attendant at the pick up point
Pros: Simple enough process, located at the airport.
Cons: The vehicle was truly awful, a miniature Honda of some kind. Clean enough and new enough but a nasty piece of plastic with a pitiful engine and a very very sad automatic gearbox. I've never seen that model Honda anywhere else in the world. Plus First Car Rental has had a computer system meltdown and are currently unable to return my deposits.
