Avis takes the load off with their new commercial fleet

Avis Van Rental Eastern Cape really does try harder. We have invested close to R10million to include trucks in our fleet, offering you a wider range of commercial vans, bakkies and trucks. We offer hassle free delivery throughout the Eastern Cape, and back it up with support from our nationwide Avis Customer Service Centre.

“These vehicles will be available throughout the province, from Mandela Bay to Mthatha and beyond,” said Managing Director Louis du Toit.

Our extended fleet includes more than 250 vehicles ranging from Half Ton Utility Vans to 8 Ton Open and Closed Trucks.

We recognize that many countries might struggle to buy more commercial vehicles and will benefit from Avis Van Rentals as an alternative. We are also backed by the famous Avis brand, voted number one for business car rentals by the World Travel Awards.

From a capital expenditure point of view, it is easier for many businesses to hire commercial vehicles because it may cost less in the long run. Due to the Credit Act’s stringent criteria, most small operators now struggle to get approval for vehicle financing.

Renting is also the way to go for short term contracts or as quick replacement vehicles. Avis Van Rental can temporarily boost your fleet capacity when and where you need it – for special contracts or when a particular type of vehicle is required, such as dropside or refrigerated truck. You maximize your assets without spending capital to buy a vehicle that isn’t needed on a daily basis, saving on your company’s bottom line

Avis Van Rentals Eastern Cape, in which broad based empowerment initiative Ditikeni Investment Company is a 30% share holder, provides the newest vehicles available. Each vehicle has less than 120 000km on the clock, and maintenance schedules are strictly adhered to for worry free renting and no resale risk.

Whatever your needs, Avis Van Rentals has the solution that will take the load off your mind.

Our premises couldn’t contain the Avis Van Rental Team any longer – so we’ve moved on to somewhere bigger and better! Avis Van Rental Eastern Cape has flourished so we’ve had to relocate to bigger premises to accommodate our expanded fleet and staff.

“As our operation in Port Elizabeth has grown and as we have become more and more customer focused, our needs and perspectives have changed,” said Louis du Toit

From humble beginnings in 1999, the Eastern Cape Team has expanded to branches in East London, Mthatha and Queenstown. And now that we have expanded our fleet it was time to find larger and more secure premises for the vehicles. Avis Van Rental Eastern Cape Head Office and the PE branch have moved to 125 Albert Road in Walmer.

The result is a better experience for both our customers and our staff. Our fleet isn’t all that we’ve added to the team. With the increased number of vehicles came the need for a Fleet Manager who could manage the fleet, and concentrate on the movement of vehicles. Ian Grebe, who started with Avis as a Rental Sales Agent four years ago in Queenstown, has been promoted and assigned the responsibility of maintaining the entire Eastern Cape fleet.
