Can I rent to buy a car for under R5,000 a month?

Not through EzAuto at the current entry price. The verified starting rental is R1,750 a week, about R7,583 a month, including comprehensive insurance, tracking, licence and registration, and 24/7 roadside assistance.

How much rental deposit do I need?

A rental deposit is required, typically 10%–50% of the vehicle value. The exact amount is confirmed during approval, and a larger rental deposit can reduce the monthly rental. Conditions are set out in your signed rental agreement.

What income do I need to qualify?

You need a minimum gross income of R14,000 a month. Employed applicants provide 3 months' payslips and bank statements; self-employed applicants provide 6 months' bank statements. Approval is affordability-led and includes a soft credit check that does not affect your score.

Which cars have the lowest monthly rentals?

Compact hatchbacks usually sit at the lowest end of the range. Examples include the Renault Kwid, Suzuki S-Presso, Hyundai Atos, Volkswagen Polo Vivo and Suzuki Swift, subject to current national availability and approval.

How do I get an exact monthly quote?

Apply online with your income and supporting documents. EzAuto assesses affordability, confirms the available vehicle, rental deposit and term, and provides an exact quote. Applications with complete documents are normally assessed within 24 hours.
