Vehicle rental is not exclusive to small vehicles any longer because in Cape Town and Gauteng bakkie hire is becoming increasingly popular. There are many places to visit off the beaten track and you often cannot get there with a small car. Sometimes you just need a bakkie. Manufacturers like Opel, Ford, Nissan and Corsa each have various single cabs and double cabs that are suitable for all types of removals. Removal trucks are also available from some car hire companies so if you need a larger vehicle then these might be best for you.

If you would like to hire removal trucks or bakkies there are some things you should no. First, they will not feel like driving your normal car, because they often have 4×4 steering abilities which means that you can drive over rough or uneven terrain. Secondly they can store a huge volume of things, but not necessarily all of your goods in one go. When you rent, find out how much a daily or weekly rate is to make sure you can get all of your things back and forth.
