24 Hour Billing Period

Daily car rental rates run for a 24-hour period from the time the vehicle was rented. Returning the vehicle after the checkout time leads to an additional days charge (1-2 hour’s grace is usually granted.)

A vehicle not returned on the date shown on the rental agreement is regarded as overdue for return and any waiver option taken or included in the rate will be negated in the event of an accident/theft occurring during the overdue period.

Should your rental vehicle be driven by a non-listed person and damage/theft be incurred, any waiver you may have taken or included in the rate, will be negated. Additional drivers fee is not an insurance cover. Never allow non-listed persons to drive your rental vehicle – not even hotel valet parking services.

The renter and/or authorized driver/s must be in possession of an unendorsed drivers licence to be produced on commencement of hire.

Petrol is not included in the rate. All vehicles leave our depot with a full tank and renter pays for re-fuelling on termination.

All speedometers are sealed and if found tampered with or disconnected on the termination of rental, a minimum charge of R500 per day will be charged.

One-way rentals are permitted only if prior arrangements have been made with Alpha Car Rental and are subject to a drop-off charge.

Clients must obtain written authorisation from Alpha Car Rental should they wish to cross state borders.

Rentals may be extended at the discretion of Alpha Car Rental, provided that we are notified at least 24 hours before the agreed return date. Failure to notify us will result in all waivers taken and/or included in the rate being negated.

Payment is by American Express, Diners Club, Master or Visa card. A minimum deposit plus the estimated cost of the rental is required at the time of taking delivery of the vehicle. Final adjustments are made on termination. Deposit must be in cash, bank guaranteed cheque or recognised credit card.

Rates are subject to change without notice.

All rentals are subject to our standard terms and conditions, which may be changed without notice.

A cleaning valet service may be charged if the vehicle is returned in a dirty condition
