If you've been searching for rent to own cars and struggling to get approved by the bank, you're not alone. Thousands of South Africans search for rent to buy cars as a more flexible alternative to traditional finance.
At Rent To Buy A Car, we make it easy to rent to buy a car without the stress of bank rejections, blacklisting checks or massive upfront payments.
What does rent to own mean?
When you choose a rent to own car, you rent the vehicle for a fixed period with the option to own it at the end of the contract. It's different from normal rental — every rental payment moves you closer towards ownership. That's why so many people prefer to rent to own instead of just renting.
Rent to own cars with no deposit or R3,000 per month?
Many clients ask whether rent to own cars with no deposit, or rent to own cars at R3,000 per month, are available. The straightforward answer is no — and you should be wary of such offers. Rent to own cars with no deposit is one of the biggest searches we see, but it remains an illusion.
Most dealerships ask for a R20,000 – R40,000 deposit. We understand that's not possible for everyone. That's why we have select models available as cheap rent to own cars for qualifying clients, with low deposits and low rental payments. We have stock in Johannesburg, Springs, Pretoria, Durban and Cape Town.

Rent to buy cars vs rent to own cars: what's the difference?
People search both rent to buy cars and rent to own cars. In South Africa they mean the same thing — whether you type rent to buy a car or rent to own a car, the process is identical.
Legally there is no difference. Consumers tend to separate the two by the buy option at the end. On that basis, Rent To Buy A Car is, ironically, more of a rent to own model because of our R1,500 buy option.
How does the process work?
- Choose your car
- Submit your documents (ID, driver's licence, payslips, bank statements, proof of residence)
- Get approved in 48 hours
- Drive while you pay towards ownership
So if you're looking to rent to buy a car, you're in the right place.
Who qualifies for rent to own cars?
- You must be 21 or older
- A valid South African driver's licence
- Employed or self-employed with a provable income
- Blacklisted, debt review and low credit score clients are welcome
