Had a great experience with Woodford Car Rentals, they were super quick and efficient. The Toyota Starlet was really fuel-efficient, but I only realized during the rental that it didn't have cruise control. Regardless, I still enjoyed the experience.

These guys are brilliant. Quick, easy frictionless booking process. Very quick and easy collection. What you see is what you get, no hard upsell. The staff are amazing, friendly and efficient. Highly recommended!

Had a great experience renting from them! I booked the car in advance and later decided to change my pickup location from the airport to their Loop Street office, as well as adjust my dates. They were very accommodating, made the changes smoothly, and I even ended up saving some money! The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and professional. The car was even better than expected – practically brand new, spotless, smelled amazing, and was an absolute pleasure to drive. All my questions were answered promptly, and the team was very responsive throughout the process. There was a small hiccup with the deposit, but it turned out to be an issue with my bank and an international transaction rather than anything on their side. Everything worked out in the end. Overall, a really positive experience. Great car, great service, and lovely people. I would happily rent from them again!

Hiring a car shouldn't be a hassle. Trust Woodford Car Hire to simplify this process. Efficiency is the order of the day.

On a recent trip back to South Africa, I rented vehicles from Woodfords three times: twice in Johannesburg and once in Cape Town. Sadly, I couldn’t use them in Port Elizabeth, as their office there has closed.

At every point of contact, the service was exceptional. The vehicles were in great condition, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout. The new pre-check-in option is also a welcome improvement.

I highly recommend Woodfords, and they remain my go-to whenever I’m in South Africa.

First time I’ve ever hired a vehicle. Was nervous because of all the stories I’ve heard about the stress of hiring etc. Online reservation was easy. Picking up the car was a smooth process. Returning the car couldn’t be simpler. And to my surprise, I received my deposit back sooner than expected. Car was in great condition. I was really impressed by the experience and will use Woodford if I ever need to hire a care again. Thank you for a smooth experience for this first timer!
