How does a buy-back vehicle purchase work?

How does the insurance work?

Who should buy a group A1-vehicle? This car group is not for use outside South Africa borders !

You are a student or an intern in Cape Town? Your budget is low but you don’t want to miss getting to know your new neighborhood and you still want to feel safe driving around in a well-maintained car? Renting a car for a longer term is too expensive for you or you are just too young to rent a car? So why don’t you just buy one at DriveAfrica with a guaranteed buyback? This car can be purchased from 2 months up to 12 months, longer extensions available on request. There is no minimum age to buy these cars as long as you have a valid driver’s licence which can be your countries national or an international driving licence. The car comes with full comprehensive insurance . The car group A1 Golf hatchback makes use of older cars in good shape with higher mileage on them however they are in tip top condition and regularly serviced and still looking very good. These well looked after A1 cars are ideal for students, interns, backpackers’ living and traveling in and around the Cape Town area and using it to explore the surrounding areas like the Winelands, Cape Point to Cape Agulhas and further a field like the Garden Route or the West Coast etc.

This car group may not be taken into countries bordering South Africa but therefore the insurance is less and the write-down is also the lowest in the car buyback category. Cars may travel throughout the Western Cape but when really planning to do bigger trips through the country a group A2 would be more suitable and will give you a better sense of security and knowledge that you won’t break down. The group A2 does not cost very much more in the write-down so it’s just the cost of the vehicle that is really more but you are still paying a price far under the market value so that you can rather keep your money invested in your home country. Drive Africa finances the difference for you.

Please be aware that these A1 cars are second hand and are the oldest in our fleet but definitely good enough to use as a run around in Cape Town and surrounding areas for taking students to classes or intern jobs as well as taking them out on evening and weekend excursions. The beauty is that at the end you don’t have to worry how you are going to sell your old car as you can rely on your guaranteed buyback agreement with Drive Africa. Cheap student cars forever!
