The cost of renting to buy a car in South Africa depends on the vehicle you choose, the monthly rental amount and the upfront activation fee. Unlike traditional car finance, rent to buy offers an alternative way to access a vehicle through an agreed monthly payment structure.
At Future Motor Lease, monthly payments vary depending on the make and model of the vehicle.
How Much Are the Monthly Payments?
Rent to buy car prices vary from one vehicle to another. As an example, monthly payments could look like this:
| Example vehicle offer | Monthly payment | Activation fee |
|---|---|---|
| Vehicle A | R3,999 | R8,000 |
| Vehicle B | R6,999 | R15,000 |
| Vehicle C | R11,299 | R25,000 |
These are examples of vehicle offers provided for comparison purposes. Prices and availability may change.
What Upfront Costs Should You Expect?
In addition to your monthly payment, you may need to pay an upfront activation fee before collecting your vehicle. This amount depends on the specific vehicle and rental agreement. Always confirm the applicable fees and what is included in your agreement before signing.
What Affects the Cost of a Rent to Buy Car?
Several factors influence rent to buy prices in South Africa:
- Vehicle model: Different makes and models have different monthly rental prices.
- Vehicle value: The value and specifications of the vehicle influence its pricing.
- Activation fee: The upfront amount required to activate your rental agreement.
- Agreement terms: The duration and conditions of your agreement can affect the overall cost.
Is Rent to Buy Affordable?
Rent to buy can be an alternative to traditional vehicle finance for people who want access to a car without following the conventional bank-financing route. However, it is important to compare the monthly rental, upfront fees and total contractual costs before deciding.
