Suzuki Celerio
10/28/22

Pros: FYI that petrol deposit of R3500 had to be paid immediately and would be refunded10 days after the return of the car. Those little cars only take about 50 litres at R20 a litre which is no more than R1000!! what a rip off. Basically you are keeping that money and rolling it over. I always make sure I fill the cars at the airport fuel station and provide a receipt.

Cons: I was fuming when I picked up this car. I was going to be charged a huge extra amount for a petrol deposit of R3500 and excess of R10000!!! I absolutely refused. It was 8pm at night after a long flight. Absolutely horrific service. I went to woodford cars and was charged no petrol deposit and the excess was R4000. I complained and of course had no real answers. I feel that you should refund my deposit. It was a con from start to finish!!!
United Kingdom

Pros: Car was waiting for us when we arrived. No waiting when we arrived at the desk office, there was a assistance waiting for us behind the desk. No hours of papers to fill in on arrival. We pay what we agreed on the online website, no confusion in regard to that.

Cons: We took full insurance on the online website when we booked the car. When we did go picked up the car the lady behind the counter offer another full insurance cover on the car we rented for additional costs. That make things a bit confusing. We just politly decline the offer as we did already booked the car on the website with the option off full insurance.
