First Car Rental at Cape Town Airport
Customer Ratings and Latest Reviews
Because we want to make sure each review listed here is left by a real customer, we don’t have the option to post a review here. Instead, we ask each and every customer to leave a review after they return their rental car. This way, you know that all reviews are authentic.
Pros: Nothing
Cons: Took our money twice, the fuel charge and condition of vehicle
Pros: Nothing. The price shown on the booking was way lower than the one I ended up paying at the airport.
Cons: According to the internet booking I had to pay only R1324 at pick up. The pick up process was very slow. They held a deposit amount of R12000 on my card, that was all right, I returned the car full BUT they charged me for some extras a total amount of R3000 (the concept is: fuel and possible extras). I never asked for any extra. I asked them several times where this comes from and their costumer service is pathetic since they mention what says to the invoice (as if I wasn´t able to read).
Pros: Easy to collect
Pros: easy to use efficient representstive
Cons: car was lowest end automatic without reverse camera
Pros: It was efficient and friendly
Cons: I felt deceived because I signed up with Discovery Cars when I booked and paid them. When I got to the rental cars at the airport, I searched for Discovery Car Rentals, but couldn't find them. Then I discovered that I was really renting from First Car and had to pay them again. So, two payments - one for booking and one for renting. That did not seem clear to me at the outset and therefore it felt deceptive.
