Can I rent a bakkie for work without a deposit?
Yes — you can put a brand-new bakkie to work with no deposit, from R13,995 a month. That one figure covers the vehicle, comprehensive insurance, maintenance and servicing, tyres, a tracker, 24/7 roadside assistance and a courtesy car during servicing, with 3,000 km a month included. Approval is assessed on affordability and stability rather than your credit score. There is no deposit, but a once-off, non-refundable start-up fee applies before delivery, from about R20,000.
A bakkie earns its keep. It carries stock, tows a trailer, gets to site and back, and it cannot be off the road for a week waiting on a quote. That is the problem this page is about.

Why does a work bakkie cost more to run than a car?
A bakkie on bank finance looks cheap until the running costs land. Commercial vehicles wear tyres faster, service more often and cost more to insure than a hatchback, and every one of those bills arrives separately and unpredictably. For a small operator that is the difference between a good month and a bad one.
Our monthly figure already contains them. You quote a job knowing your vehicle cost to the rand, twelve months out.
What happens if the bakkie is off the road?
A courtesy car is included while yours is being serviced. For a bakkie that is not a convenience — it is the difference between working and not working that week.
Insurance, maintenance, tyres, tracking and a courtesy car are built into the monthly figure — see exactly what is included.
Can my business rent the bakkie?
We do company deals. If the bakkie is going onto a business, talk to us about how the contract is structured before you apply — call 010 500 8621.
