Hello all,

For our next vacation we intend to fly to Joburg and rent a 4x4 with camping equipment for a four
week period (last week of May, first 3 weeks of June).
We are looking for a reliable vehicle at a reasonable price.

Are there rental companies that you can recommend?

Thanks,

Yovka

Have rented several times from Bushtrackers and would highly reccomend them.
They have late model vehicles in excellent condition at a fair price and
they can supply all camping equipment, in fact everything you need, just
bring yourself !

Bushtrackers is a smaller owner operated company, Harry & Heather give great
personal service and attention to detail. See www.bushtrackers.co.za

I tried Bushlore once when I couldn't get a vehicle from Bushtrackers but
was very disapointed with the mechanical condition of the Bushlore vehicle
and personally I would not go back to them.

Regards,
Graham

Hi Yovka,

Not the answer you asked for, but I suggest you also ensure the vehicle
you rent is suitable for the area and purpose you have in mind. We've
come across people who had walked 25km through the wilderness after
getting stranded in mud, amongst others because their rented vehicle was
fitted with sand tyres. When we then tried to recover it, it turned out
not to have recovery points or tow bar and not even a back bumper!

Enjoy,
Francois
