FAQ

Everything people ask us

What is rent-to-own?

You rent a car or bike from YeboAuto for a fixed weekly amount for a set term, with the option to buy it at the end for a small fixed price (R5,000 for a car, R500 for a bike). It is a rental agreement, not vehicle finance or a loan. There is no balloon payment.

Can I get a car if I am blacklisted or under debt review?

Yes. Rent-to-own is a rental agreement, not a new loan. We look at your income and what you can afford each week, not only your credit record.

How much does rent-to-own cost in South Africa?

In 2026 rent-to-own e-hailing cars cost about R2,500–R3,800 a week and delivery bikes about R650–R1,250 a week. YeboAuto shows the weekly amount, the deposit, the term and the full total for every vehicle before you apply.

Can I use the car for Uber or Bolt?

Yes. Our e-hailing cars come with e-hailing insurance cover, unlimited kilometres and help with your PrDP and operating licence. Many rent-to-own companies do not allow e-hailing at all.

Do foreign nationals qualify?

Yes, if you have a valid passport and a permit that allows you to work in South Africa. This applies to delivery bikes and e-hailing cars.

What happens if my car breaks down?

Roadside assistance is included. If the vehicle is in our workshop for more than 48 hours, you get a courtesy vehicle or that week is free.

Can I buy it early?

Yes. Ask us for an early buy-out quote at any time during the rental.

Do I need a PrDP to rent a car for Uber or Bolt?

Yes, you need a valid Professional Driving Permit to carry passengers for reward. If you don’t have one yet, we help you apply while your car is being prepared.

How much is a rent-to-own delivery bike in South Africa?

Rent-to-own delivery motorbikes cost about R650–R1,250 a week in 2026, over 12–24 months. YeboAuto bikes start at R699 a week with a R995 deposit and you can buy them for R500 after 18 months, with box, helmet, insurance and service included.

Can foreign nationals get a delivery bike?

Yes. You need a valid passport and a permit that allows you to work in South Africa, a motorbike licence or learner’s, and proof of address.

Can I get a car if I am blacklisted in South Africa?

Yes. With rent-to-own you rent the car for a fixed weekly amount and can buy it at the end of the term for a fixed R5,000. YeboAuto approves on income and affordability, so a bad credit record on its own does not stop your application.
