When I arrived at the rental company, I told the staff that I had already completed all procedures, including insurance, back in my home country. I didn’t need any additional services. The staff agreed and only asked me to sign the contract without providing me a copy. When I requested one, they said it wasn’t needed. However, upon returning the car, I realized I had been deceived into purchasing an additional insurance for 629.99 RMB. It’s infuriating to see such a large company engage in this kind of dishonesty.

Having taken the extended insurance i was not really expecting to need it but whilst driving fom PE to East London we were most unfortunate to have the driver side window shattered by a ston. The customer service staff were extremely helpful and a replacement car was waiting at EL Airport by the time I arrived.

Not very satisfied with Budget for deducting money from my credit card for various reasons, even 3 months after we returned the car.

Overall, it's pretty good, quite user-friendly, and the prices are very competitive.

It should be acceptable in Africa, but the overall car configuration is much worse compared to the same model in other countries.

The car rental company inexplicably charged an extra 3000 Rand, which seemed like a deposit for returning the car with a full fuel tank. The staff could not clearly explain what the 3000 Rand fee was. First, they said it was for insurance, then they said it was some kind of deposit, but it was actually charged directly to the credit card instead of being held as a credit limit like usual. This fee was not listed on the order either. Thankfully, the customer service team of Zuzuche stepped in and took a long time to clarify this charge. Kudos to Zuzuche's customer service.

Very nice friendly and helpful staff at both pick up and drop off. The car had a lot of squeaks but probably more the fault of Toyota than Bidvest! Not major extra charges (speeding fines etc) at this point - hopefully that will remain the case. Would definitely use Bidvest again!

The vehicle was in a perfect condition. We enjoyed our road trip.

I originally booked a Toyota, but they gave me a Polo, which seemed smaller. However, the car was in good condition. The service was quite good.

When we arrived at the store, they told us to go to Europcar, saying it was one company. They didn't have a pickup truck and then claimed there were no four-seaters, even though the website clearly stated there were four-seaters available. Eventually, they downgraded us to a Toyota Avanza wagon. Nothing was reliable, and their partner was quirky.

An excellent car rental company with meticulous attention to detail. The damage markings on the vehicle were clear at the time of rental, and they offer emergency assistance. We accidentally locked the keys inside the car, and the rental company arrived within an hour to help us unlock it. Their service was very friendly and attentive. It was a great overseas car rental experience. Five-star review!
