What it is
Long-term rental gives you a car for a monthly fee with no ownership. Rent-to-own also has a fixed fee, but at the end you can buy the car for a fixed R5,000.
Who qualifies
Take-home pay from R9,000 a month (or average turnover from R15,000 if self-employed). No credit card needed, unlike most rental companies.
What it costs
Rent-to-own from about R7 780 a month (R1 795 a week), all-in.
How fast
Keys in 2–5 working days after approval, versus same-day for rental. Worth the wait if you need a car for more than a few months.
Long-term rental vs rent to own
If you need a car for a few weeks, rent one. If you need a car for a year or more, the maths changes: you pay roughly the same each month, but with rent-to-own the payments buy you a car.
Rental: no deposit, credit card usually needed, mileage limits, you own nothing
Rent-to-own: a deposit, no credit card, 3,000 km a month, insurance and service included, buy the car for R5,000 at the end

The YeboAuto deal
Eight promises the others won’t put in writing.
We read every complaint about rent-to-own in South Africa: surprise fees, balloon payments, cars stuck at the workshop while the debit order keeps running. Then we wrote the opposite into our deal.
Every rand, upfront
Weekly amount, deposit, term, the price to buy it at the end, and where every rand goes: the vehicle, insurance, service, licence and our margin. Your price card is locked in writing for 7 days.
No balloon: a small, fixed buy price
At the end you can buy the vehicle for a fixed price written into your agreement on day one: R5,000 for a car, R500 for a bike. No R40,000 surprise.
Buy it early if you want
Had a good season? Ask for an early buy-out quote and own it before the term ends. Most rent-to-own deals make you sit out the full contract.
Unlimited km for drivers & riders
Drivers do 1,200 km a week. We don’t cap the kilometres you earn with.
Off the road? Your week is on us
If a repair takes more than 24 hours, you get a loan vehicle or that week is free. Never pay for a car or bike you can’t earn with.
Bad-week pause
Can’t pay one week? WhatsApp us that day. Once a year you can move one payment to the end of your term, no penalty, no fight.

FAQ
Straight answers
What does long-term car rental cost in Cape Town?
Monthly rentals from the big rental companies usually cost R6,000–R12,000 a month for a small car, often with a credit card and a kilometre limit. Rent-to-own costs about the same and you own the car at the end.
Do I need a credit card?
No. YeboAuto rent-to-own runs on a debit order. Most rental companies require a credit card.
Can I return the car?
Rent-to-own is a fixed-term agreement. If your situation changes, talk to us: you can settle early, and we’ll look at options before anything else.
