Avoid Drive.co.za – A Truly Disappointing Experience

I had the worst experience ever with Drive.co.za and I strongly advise foreign nationals, in particular, to steer clear of this company, especially if you're considering long-term vehicle rental.

The communication was abysmal. I had to repeatedly follow up, only to be ignored for days by Peter, which made the entire process extremely stressful and frustrating. Whether it's poor customer service or something deeper like xenophobic undertones, I can’t say for certain but the way I was treated felt dismissive and discriminatory.

Despite meeting and even exceeding their financial requirements, I was still denied without proper explanation. It felt less like a business decision and more like a matter of personal bias.

If their services are intended only for South Africans, that should be clearly stated upfront. Instead, foreign customers are led on and then dismissed without transparency or respect.

Save yourself the time, stress, and energy. There are far better companies out there if you're willing to look. This was not only unprofessional but entirely avoidable had they been honest from the start.
