Are you planning a longer stay in South Africa? Whether you are a foreign visitor or a South African citizen here on a visit, you should consider the option of buying a second hand car. Why would you ask do we recommend such an 'extreme' action?
Firstly, you must take into consideration that you will have difficulty getting around in South Africa as public transport is poor and sometimes non existent. When you have your own set of wheels, your own independent transport, you will be able to go anywhere you please, at any time! Whether you’re an explorer who wants to cruise through South Africa and enjoy the beautiful scenery, or whether you just want to be mobile in the city you are visiting- having your own car is just so much better than worrying about kilometres accumulating on a rental car.
Car sales in South Africa and especially car sales with a buyback option in Cape Town are extremely popular. Students, exchange students and interns who need transport for longer periods of time always opt for the car buyback option as it works out much cheaper than renting a car over an extended period of time.
You can buy a car at a car sales dealership in Cape Town, Johannesburg, Durban or any other of the major cities in South Africa and when its time for you to go back home, you can sell your car again. Now first of all, be sure that if you decide on buying a car at a car sales dealership that you take a buyback deal. With a buyback deal, specifically through Drive Africa, you will get a guaranteed buyback price from the outset no matter what happens and your only other costs would be the petrol, some money for insurance and of course the paperwork.
Here at Drive Africa we believe that our clients should get the better deal. When you take the buyback option from us, we will offer you car insurance for a shorter period of time- definitely not a deal you’d get from any of the other normal car insurance companies in South Africa.
