Is rent to buy the same as rent to own?

Yes — they are two names for the same arrangement: a fixed-term vehicle rental with an option to own at the end. EzAuto uses both terms interchangeably.

How much does rent to buy cost in South Africa?

From R1,750 a week (about R7,583 a month) for an entry hatchback, rising with the vehicle value. That figure already includes comprehensive insurance, tracking, licensing and 24/7 roadside assistance.

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

Yes. A rental deposit is required on every rental, typically 10%–50% of the vehicle value and confirmed on approval. A larger deposit reduces your monthly rental. Conditions are set out in your signed rental agreement.

Can I rent to buy a car if I am blacklisted?

Yes. Rent to buy is a rental agreement, not a credit agreement, so we run a soft credit check that does not affect your score and approve on affordability. Blacklisted and debt-review applicants are welcome.

How soon can I be driving?

Applications are assessed within 24 hours of receiving your documents, and most approved applicants are driving within 2–7 business days.
