Long term 4x4 rental in South Africa?
Posting this on behalf on a friend
Does anyone know of a 4x4 in South Africa for long-term (2 months) rental for a reasonable price? I am heading down from Europe on the moto and a friend wants to meet me for a couple of months half way. He has no motorcycle licence so is looking at a 4x4 option. He is flying out of South Africa so that would be where he gets rid of the vehicle, which I thought could end up being a nightmare if he tried to buy a vehicle in West Africa somewhere. I suggested he aquire a vehicle in SA and drive up through Botswana, Zambia and dare I say it DRC Lumbashi to Kinshasa (alternatively through Angola to DRC). Meet in Kinshasa and then continue together back down through Angola, Namibia, back to SA.
The rental companies I have looked at are quite expensive, so if anyone has any contacts of a rental company or a friend of a friend who has an old 4x4 he wouldn't mind renting out for a couple of months it could be perfect. From what I've read, the paperwork with buying a vehicle can be quite time consuming and a bit of a headache... a borrowed/rented vehicle with an affidavit could work out quite well.
Cheers
