Drive South Africa is a car rental and 4x4 hire company founded in 2002 and allows you to compare and save on the top rental brands in the country. 2001 A LIGHTBULB MOMENT Steve Conradie embarked on a six-month self-drive African safari, engaging his enthusiasm for 4×4 safaris and his desire to build on his previous African adventures. Upon returning, Steve met Andre Van Kets, a Business Science graduate with fervor for information technology, equally enthusiastic about Africa and the prospect of unlocking the continent to 4×4 fans through an online platform. 2002 DRIVE SOUTH AFRICA IS BORN Starting initially as 4×4 buy-back service, the company emerged as an early authority in the 4×4 market, being able to offer comprehensive advice and first-hand experience for journeys into Africa. 2003 RAPID GROWTH It wasn’t long before customers came looking for alternative to the 4×4 buy back option, wanting expert advice and short-term 4×4 hire. Drive South Africa decided to turn the outsourcing of 4×4 hiring into an in-house service and in March 2003 began leasing 4-wheel drive vehicles to customers. By June 2003, demand for Drive South Africa’s attentive customer service permeated into the car hire market, with increasing requests for car hire, Drive South Africa incorporated car hire into it’s product catalogue. 2004 MORE THAN JUST CAR HIRE Camper hire followed in 2004 and services such as chauffeur hire, transfers and self-drive tours emerged over the course of 2004 and 2005. 2006-2016 10 YEARS OF CUSTOMER SATISFACTION With just over 50 000 rentals to both local and international clients we take customer satisfaction to the next level.
