Save 50% on Your Next Avis Safari 4x4 Rental

Drive South Africa has partnered with Avis Safari Rental to offer our customers up to 50% off 4×4 rentals. That means you can get out there and explore southern Africa’s wild side this summer without breaking the bank!

This deal is exclusive to Drive South Africa customers and applies to all Avis Safari Rental 4×4 vehicles on our site, including camping-equipped and unequipped 4x4s. But why should you choose a 4×4 over any other vehicle?

Well, with an Avis Safari 4×4, you can head off-road and explore wilderness areas and national parks in countries like South Africa and Botswana – two of the most sought-after self-drive safari destinations in the world. Thick sand and muddy roads are no problem for these high-clearance off-roaders, so you’ll get closer to the wildlife action than you ever thought possible.

So, how does the discount work, where can you collect your vehicle, and what brands and models can you choose from? Read on to find out.

Meet Avis Safari Rental

Avis Safari Rental invites you to experience the African wilderness like never before. As one of South Africa’s premier 4×4 rental suppliers, it offers rugged, highly-capable vehicles that it calls “the overlanding version of the Swiss Army Knife”.

• Upgraded off-road suspension
• All-terrain tyres
• Trailer sway control
• Vehicle stability programme (ESP)

How Does the Discount Work?

Usually, there’s an advantage to booking your rental vehicle far in advance. However, our exclusive special rewards spontaneous travellers who embody the spur of the moment spirit that makes southern Africa such an exciting safari destination. After all, who wouldn’t want to escape to the Okavango Delta on a whim?

Here’s how it works:

• Get 50% off your booking if you collect your vehicle within seven days of booking and payment.
• Get 25% off your booking if you collect your vehicle within eight to 45 days of booking and payment.

It’s that simple! Please note that this discount is available for a limited time only. The discount applies to the daily rental rate and does not apply to insurance, excesses, or add-on products like Super Cover.
