Is rent to buy the same as rent to own?

In South African car rental, yes — both describe a fixed-term rental with an option to purchase at the end. The differences that matter are in the inclusions, the deposit and the purchase option.

Neither, since they are the same arrangement. Compare the all-in monthly amount and what it includes, because a lower headline figure often excludes insurance, tracking and licensing.

Which one does EzAuto offer?

A rental agreement with the option to own the vehicle at the end of the term for a nominal R5,000. Both phrases describe it.

Is either one vehicle finance?

No. Ours is a rental agreement, not a credit agreement, which is why the credit check is soft and approval is affordability-led.
