What is the cheapest rent to buy car in South Africa?

The cheapest EzAuto rentals start at R1,750 a week — about R7,583 a month — and sit on entry hatchbacks under R150,000 such as the Renault Kwid, Suzuki S-Presso and Hyundai Atos. That figure already includes comprehensive insurance, vehicle tracking, licence, servicing and 24/7 roadside assistance, so there is nothing further to add on top.

How do I get the rental as low as possible?

Two levers move it: choose a lower-value vehicle, and put down a larger rental deposit. Deposits run from about 10% to 50% of the vehicle value, and every rand of deposit reduces the monthly rental. The exact combination is confirmed on approval.

Is cheap rent to buy worse quality?

No. Every EzAuto vehicle must be under 125,000 km and no older than eight years, and each one is insured, tracked and serviced under the rental. The cheaper rentals are simply smaller, newer, more economical cars rather than older or higher-mileage ones.

Do I need a deposit for a cheap rent to buy car?

Yes. A rental deposit is required on every rental, typically between 10% and 50% of the vehicle value, and it is confirmed on approval. The conditions are set out in your signed rental agreement.

What income do I need for the cheapest rental?

A minimum gross income of R14,000 a month, verified with 3 months' payslips — or 6 months' bank statements if you are self-employed. EzAuto runs a soft credit check only, so approval is affordability-led.
