rental ref - UER-5114793-5094242 - Good day I would like to thanks all the staff assisting in the renting process of the vehicle for the fantastic and kind service we received, what pleasure dealing with such friendly staff and efficient staff. We were kept up to date before the booking, met by a friendly staff member ( Nolu Dlamini) upon our arrival and assisted quickly. The vehicle was immaculate and well worth the money. We do not always find positive feedback on service, but in this case i have the utmost gratitude for the service and will continue using this service in the future and inform my travelling colleagues to make use of this service.Again thank you for this service.

I am incredibly impressed with the PE branch. I arrived at the airport and a friendly man (didn’t get his name) had my name on a sign and had everything ready. When I departed I forgot my expensive battery charger pack in the car. Thuli really went the extra mile to get it back to me. Thanks so much for a great experience!Posted on Google![]()

The Milnerton Depot is filled with amazing and extremely helpful staff. We needed to rent a car. We dealt with Athenkosi. He was professional, and within an hour, we had a quote, which we accepted. This company goes the extra mile for their clients. It was an absolute pleasure meeting you all and dealing with your company. See you soon.Google rating score: 3.7 of 5, based on 111 reviews
