Find your Rent-to-Buy vehicle and get the advantages of ownership, loyalty benefits and significant savings.
Rent to buy is NOT a credit agreement. Rent to Buy is a long-term rental, where you can get the benefits of ownership and significant savings and loyalty benefits while renting the vehicle. SA Motor Lease offers a cost-effective option for people who live and work in Gauteng, Cape Town, uMhlanga, or Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth) looking to Rent to Buy a car or bakkie.
Rent to Buy provides a tangible solution for those who’ve been declined for traditional finance due to low credit scores, being blacklisted, or under debt review. They grant individuals access to a vehicle when they otherwise would not have been able to be mobile.
A larger initiation fee reduces your monthly rental (Minimum initiation fee still applies). Should you have your initiation fee and first month’s rental available we will process your application within 100 minutes (conditions apply). Should you need a vehicle at a later stage in the month we will process the application within 3-4 working days, upon receipt of all documents. In summary, a Rent to Buy is an innovative and accessible path to car ownership that provides opportunities for those who might have found traditional financing options out of reach. It’s more than a car rental – it’s a journey towards ownership, providing a sense of stability and independence to many people.
Apply online and send us your recent bank statements. We’ll assess what you can afford, then you can choose a vehicle within your approved budget. Once you’ve signed your agreement and paid the amount due for your chosen car, you can collect it and make monthly rental payments. See how Rent to Buy works or browse our vehicles.
No. Our Rent to Buy programme is a long-term rental with an option to purchase the vehicle under your agreement. You do not need a bank vehicle loan. Read more about our no-finance vehicles.
Our Rent to Buy terms are 48, 54 or 60 months. After you make the required payments on time, you can purchase the vehicle for R100 under the terms of your agreement. If you want to buy the vehicle sooner, ask us for the cash price set out in your agreement.
You’ll need to pay the initiation fee and the first rental amount due for your vehicle. The amount depends on the car and your collection date. Ask us for a written breakdown of what you’ll pay at collection and when your next payment is due. You can compare available vehicles before you apply.
