Woodford Car **** ( Your local death trap provider)
This company is *****ulent and nearly cost my colleagues and I our lives. We rented a car for 5-days on their unlimited package. After taking the car we fiind out that the unlimited package is actually false marketing that is there to bait you in as they only give you 500km per day and you have to pay for anything above. That can't even get you to from Johannesburg to Durban. Then as soon as we got home (1.2 km away from Woodford Car Hire in Sandton) to pack out clothes we realized that the tank was not filled up but they were already closed by the time I noticed. We left Johhanesburg and by the time we got to Harrismith it got dark and alas the headlight were not working!!! It hit me then that this car had not been through any form of safety and maintenance inspection. They told us to call the emergency number but they never came to deliver a replacement car. Instead, they told us to drive 200 km and desert our project if we wanted the car to be replaced which we obviously couldn't do. We drove back Tuesday afternoon and got back in Joburg at 2:30 am on Wednesday morning. I counted 6 times that we were nearly in a fatal accident and all Woodford had to say was that I should be happy that they are not fining me for the couple of instances that I had to use speed inorder to get away from the bright truck lights surrounding me. Don't use Woodford!! They will literally kill you in order to make a quick buck.
