2. The Scope of Our Service
JustCarHire provides you with car rental booking services ("Services") acting as agents for car rental providers ("Providers"). JustCarHire represents the Providers as agents only and accordingly accepts no liability of any kind as a result of any act or omission on the part of the Providers to fulfil their obligations. Your hire of any vehicle is subject to the terms and conditions of vehicle hire imposed by the car hire Provider. We provide our summary of these Provider terms for your convenience; you are required to agree to the Providers terms on pickup of your vehicle.
3. Common Car Rental Provider Terms
The renter will be required to supply the following on pickup:
  • Credit card (in the main driver's name)
  • Name, address, telephone number and email address
  • Local contact details
  • A valid drivers license and passport (International drivers license required for non-South African citizens)
Forms of payment
Rentals will be required to present a Visa, MasterCard, American Express or Diners Club credit card in the main driver name, on collection of vehicle. The credit card needs be embossed. No debit cards are accepted
Deposit / Authority taken on Pickup
The car rental providers take a deposit at the start of the rental period to cover petrol, insurance excesses and other charges. This authority differs, depending on the car hire company and your vehicle excess and insurance cover chosen.
Provided the vehicles and extras are returned in the same state as rented and in accordance with the fuel policy, the deposit will be refunded when the vehicle is returned.
Choice of vehicle
The car rental providers are unable to guarantee a particular make or model. Renters make a reservation for a vehicle group and not a specific vehicle type. The car advertised may be substituted for an alternative similar model or upgraded.
Driver Age
The minimum age for drives is 21 or 23, depending on supplier. There is no maximum age.
Additional Drivers
Additional drivers may be authorised to drive the vehicle. There is usually a charge per additional driver. Additional drivers must be pre-approved and added on or before pickup.
Use of Vehicle
The vehicle may only be driven by the renter or authorized additional driver. The vehicle may not be driven by the renter:
  • To transport passengers and/or goods for reward
  • To propel or tow another vehicle (including caravans and trailers), unless authorized
  • In motor sport or similar high risk activity
Cancellation, Amendment and No Show Fee
  • There is no amendment fee
  • There is no cancellation fee (supplier dependent): Bookings need to be cancelled in writing
  • A "No Show Fee" equivalent to R250 or 2 days rental will apply, if we are not notified of your cancellation prior to pickup.
Extension of Rental / Early Return
Extension of rentals beyond the original date must be authorised by the car hire company. If an extension is required, please contact JustCarHire during office hours (weekdays) by telephone or email in order to qualify for these discounted rates. If the extension is made directly with the car hire company, then the higher extension rates of the relevant car hire company will be charged. Failure to comply with this procedure will result in renter driving the vehicle without Collision Damage Waiver and/or Theft Protection and without lawful permission. Failure to inform the car hire company may result in the car hire company reporting the vehicle as stolen. Unfortunately JustCarHire are unable to make refunds for vehicles returned early.
Insurance Cover
Standard insurance cover is compulsory for every vehicle rented out by the car hire company. Insurance cover limits the renter's liability in the event of collision or theft of the vehicle. Additional insurance cover may be purchased which further limits the renter's liability. Personal Belongings are not covered by the insurance provided.
Irrespective of cover purchased the renter will be liable for the full value of the damage and/or loss where such damage or loss is sustained in circumstances including but not limited to the following:
  • As a result of driver negligence, malicious or criminal actions of renter or passengers
  • Where the vehicle is driven by an unauthorized driver i.e. a driver not specified as a driver or additional driver on the Rental Agreement
  • Driving under the influence of alcohol or illegal substances
  • Failure to obtain authorization from the car hire company to extend the pre-booked rental
  • Where a vehicle is driven on a road or surface not suitable for the vehicle type rented
  • Collisions where no other vehicle, person, animal or object is involved
  • Where there has been a material breach of the Terms and Conditions of the Rental Agreement
Procedures in the event of accident
If the vehicle is involved an incident, is damaged, stolen or lost, the renter must take every reasonable precaution to safeguard the interests of the car hire company, including but not limited to:
  • Notifying the car hire company within 3 hours of becoming aware of the occurrence, and completing the relevant supplier's form within 24 hours
  • Obtaining the names and addresses of everyone involved and possible witnesses
  • Not admitting responsibility or liability, not releasing other parties from liability, and not settling or claiming
  • Reporting all incidents, regardless of value, to the police within 24 hours and supply the car hire company with an accident case number
