Is the Vitz or the Atos cheaper to rent to own?

The Hyundai Atos is the cheaper of the two each month, from about R8 118 on a R150 000 vehicle value with a rental deposit from R15 000. The Toyota Vitz starts at about R8 815 a month. Both are best-case indicative figures confirmed on approval and set out in your signed rental agreement.

What is included in the monthly rental on either car?

One monthly debit order covering comprehensive insurance, vehicle tracking, licence and registration, 24/7 roadside assistance and all rental administration, plus the option to own the vehicle at the end of the term. Fuel and tyres are yours. It is a rental agreement with an option to own, not vehicle finance.

Can I switch between the Vitz and the Atos after applying?

Yes. You apply once and we match you to stock in the national dealer network, so you can compare the two side by side before signing. None on a floor today — searched nationally when you apply for the Vitz and 10 units in the network today for the Atos.

Do I qualify for either car with a low credit score?

Approval is affordability-led from R14,000 gross income a month with a soft credit check only, which does not affect your credit score. Blacklisted and debt-review applicants are welcome, and the same terms apply to both models.
