In case you are renting a car in RSA. Some new charges that will be appearing on your bill.

e-Tolls will affect your car rental

Changes due to the implementation of the Gauteng e-Toll system. To comply with the law they are all in the process of tagging their entire fleet and building new systems to handle the billing for these extra charges.

What is e-Tolling?
On 3 December 2013 the South African National Roads Agency Limited (SANRAL) rolled out the much awaited e-toll roads system in Gauteng. These Gauteng e-Toll roads are South Africa's first multi-lane free-flow toll system using Electronic Toll Collection (ETC). This provides the road users with a smoother, safer journey and is an important contributor to keeping the country's economic hub moving.

There are forty-two planned e-Toll gantries within the Gauteng e-road and the Gauteng e-road falls within sections along the N1, N3, N12 and R21 national roads.

How will I be billed for e-Tolls?
You will be billed on return of the rented car. The client will have to pay for the tariffs incurred by the car while driving on the e-road. Depending on how efficient the e-Toll systems are, you will either be billed for usage at the end of the rental, or sent a sundry invoice afterwards. This process is still being tested and may differ from one Rental Partner to the next.

Why is there an extra deposit added to my bill?
The extra REFUNDABLE deposit is to cover the e-Toll amount which is part of the legislation and is R450 - R500.

I知 not even in Gauteng, why am I paying the extra deposit?
Any client can pick up and return a car almost anywhere in the country. The extra deposit for non-Gauteng renters is for when (or if) the car ends up being driven on the Gauteng e-roads. The extra deposit is also refundable, should there be no costs incurred.

I made my booking before e-Tolls. How will my current booking be affected?
If you are currently renting a vehicle or have made bookings before e-Tolls, you will see an extra deposit amount being held on your credit card. All our Rental Partners have implemented this and we are systematically contacting all our clients to inform them of this extra rental deposit charge.


For more information please visit the SANRAL website.

Sir, I think I have been writing to you about the purchase of the HK 639 rifle under an email "Tt Jake." If this is you, then I am truly interested. I am just trying to verify identify. Tt Jake is asking for a cash transaction. No disrespect intended, Just trying to verify who I am talking to. Thank you. Respectfully. Dan

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
Finally back to somewhat normal I missed reading the messages and posts
