A Guide to Self-Service Car Hire, South Africa

February 2019 - The popularity of First Car Rental's Self-Service at its major airport branches is rapidly growing as renters seamlessly opt from counter service to self-service utilising First Car Rental's ground-breaking technology that puts them in the driver's seat from booking to checkout to the return of their rentals. This will soon become the new-normal in car hire in South Africa.

HERE IS FIRST CAR RENTAL'S QUICK GUIDE TO SELF-SERVICE CAR HIRE:

First Car Rental Self-service Car Hire

How to get started:

  • 1. Book your rental car through your usual booking method, such as:
    • • Our website - firstcarrental.co.za, or
      • Through your travel agent, or
      • Your personal assistant, or
      • Through your First Car Rental App
    Whichever booking method you prefer, we support them all.
  • 2. Arrive at the branch to pick up your rental vehicle.
  • 3. There will be a touchscreen monitor either side of the counter. The agent's monitor will be a mirror-cast of yours to guide you through the self-service checkout process, should you require it.
  • 4. The platform will capture your driver's licence and prompt you to check your renter-profile details, you'll choose a car from the selection offered on the screen, and sign on the screen to finalise your checkout.
  • 5. Now that you are self-service ready, your next rental checkout could take you as little as 15 seconds* to conclude, it will all depend on you.
