More ways to pay with Woodford Car Hire

You can now pay for your rental using a debit card, offering greater flexibility and more convenience. While certain conditions apply, this new payment option ensures a seamless rental experience for more customers.

How to book
• Website: Follow our easy three-step booking process on www.woodford.co.za and simply select debit card payment on the confirmation screen. You’ll see the rental costs broken down in the cost summary section.
• In-branch: When booking in-branch, debit card transactions will be handled by dedicated rental agents, who will guide you through the terms, deposit, and fees before processing.

Deposits and admin fees
View our Deposits and Waivers Rates Schedule to understand the deposit amounts for debit card and credit card bookings. An admin fee of 5% of the daily rental rate (capped at R1000) applies to all debit card rentals. One debit card can be used per rental and the same card must be used for booking and collection.

Extending your rental booking
If you need your vehicle for longer, you can return to a branch to open a new rental agreement. Rental extensions are not allowed for debit card bookings.

Refunds process
Refunds are processed 7–10 working days after the rental agreement is closed.

Vehicles which can be booked with a debit card
Debit card payments are restricted to selected vehicle classes. View our Deposits and Waivers Rates Schedule to see which vehicles can be rented with a debit card.

Paying traffic fines
Traffic fines cannot be charged to debit cards and will need to be settled separately. If you get a traffic fine in your rented car, we will communicate with you and send you an invoice to make the payment by EFT (bank transfer).

Credit checks
South African customers need a minimum credit score of 550 to qualify. Foreign customers will not require a credit check but must provide a 365ID passport and license check along with proof of a return flight.
