Almost every “no deposit” deal hides the money somewhere else: a start-up fee, a higher weekly amount or a balloon. Here’s what a low deposit really gets you, with the full price shown.

A deposit is money paid upfront that lowers your weekly amount. “No deposit” deals usually charge a start-up or admin fee instead, or add the deposit to your weekly payments.
Anyone who qualifies on income. A bigger deposit is not required to be approved; it only lowers what you pay each week.
Our lowest deposits: R995 on a delivery bike, R7 500 on an e-hailing car and R13 500 on an everyday car.
You can pay the deposit when you collect, after approval. First answer in 60 seconds.
Providers need some money upfront to cover the first weeks of insurance, licensing and admin. If they don’t call it a deposit, it usually appears as one of these:
Compare the full price, not the deposit: weekly amount × number of weeks + deposit + fees + balloon. A R15,000 deposit with a lower weekly amount is often thousands of rand cheaper over 3 years than a “no deposit” deal.

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.
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.
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.
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.

Some providers advertise it, but most charge a start-up fee or a higher weekly amount instead. YeboAuto shows the deposit and the full price upfront: from R995 on a delivery bike.
For bikes, the R995 deposit is all you need. For cars, choose a longer term to lower the weekly amount, or ask about splitting the deposit.
The deposit is part of the price of your vehicle, so it counts towards ownership. It is not a refundable security deposit.
