15 business days and still waiting for my deposit, ridiculous that this customer experience is acceptable. Clearly making money from hoarding customers deposits. Never will I use this service again, I feel sorry for the hard working & genuinely nice employees working at the physical store

  • Jessica Pentz

STEALING MY MONEY. I rented a vehicle from this company in May 2024 when it was still called Thrifty Car Rental. It has since changed to ‘Sani Car Rental’. Since the beginning of October I have had money taken out of my bank account

  • Rose Ooo

Beware of dealing with this company I was unable to recover the refunded insurance amount even though all my bank information registered with them is correct. I recommend not dealing with this company due to the lack of care in returning

  • Toni Yannick Kalombo

What a terrible experience. I rented from Thrifty or shall I say Thefty at Cape Town International Airport. They lied about the cars that were available and chose for us what car they would give us, though the specific car that we requested

  • Y L

We were worried about going with Thrifty since the reviews are bad but we’d already booked online before reading them so figured we were screwed anyway so might aswell go with the flow. However, it was a super good and easy experience. Plus

  • Lance Landore

Planned a holiday away for 19th March. Arrived at the pickup only to be told that my license needs to be atleast 1 years old. This was after deposits and everything was paid. Things like should be questioned before any payments are made.

  • Martin T

I rented a SUV for one day to travel from George to Cape town, the car was fine but a bit expansive. When I brought it back I did not get any documents about the car and it was 100% in same condition I got it 7h before (same day return).

  • Nyasha Chinyani

Avoid renting a car here at all costs. Firstly, when I got there they told me that the place was not a thrifty location and then when I told them I had made a reservation at that exact location they later on said that the company has now

  • Rob Woolcock

I have no issues with the service I received, however, I received a 700 Rand charge to my credit card over 3 months after I hired the car with absolutely no correspondence as to why. I emailed them and have yet to receive a reply some 2

  • Nini NĀMO

We rented a 4x4 Truck for a 8 days tour in the desert in April. Unfortunately, they provided us with a car that we couldn't close from the inside and the trunk door couldn't open neither. We also asked two times, to get two replacement

  • Phinias Tongayi

This the second time that the same branch and same employee "branch manager" has screwed me. I booked a car via telephone. When I got to the branch the lady wanted to give me a cheaper car at the same rate as the car that I had booked.

  • shahier davids

Nadeem and Tasneem made us feel comfortable and provided excellent service, yoh, felt like our needs were attended to. 5 star treatment with a few extra jokes in between. Thank you for making the booking as pleasant as possible.

  • Guy Veysey

After filling the car next door, they still charged for refueling. Upon query they said you could have squeezed another liter in. Completely unacceptable practice to just grab some more fees. Won’t use them again.

  • Daniel Zinn

Disappointed as I was a repeat customer who will no longer be using their services. It’s a shame that these large companies are so quick to charge customers but when they cause issues you never hear from them.

  • Dee Boshoff

Absolutely dismal service. Do yourself a favor and read the reviews! First off, the the lady behind the counter looked as if she would be anywhere

  • Nava Bgh

We had a great experience. Booked the car through their website. Pick up and drop off was fast and easy as well. And deposit was back quickly.

  • Jaco Malan

I do not want to rate them even one star but the system does not allow me to review without a star. Very bad and dissappointing.

  • Angela Erasmus

Always get very good service from Nadeem. Vehicles always clean and no hassles. Extended my hire by another week.

  • Eduard Gorkh

Worst experience ever. If you don't want to say goodbye to your deposit — go to another rental.

  • Roydon macrae

Car was good not the best but the service was great
