Pace Van and Bakkie Rental: Powering the future of business car rental in South Africa

The rising demand for car rental in South Africa

The car rental market in South Africa continues to grow as more people choose transport without ownership. Rising travel, small-business logistics, and flexible working trends have created high demand for short and long term vehicle hire.

For many South Africans, owning a vehicle is expensive and impractical. That is why long term car rental solutions from companies such as Pace Car Rental offer the best alternative: reliable transport with none of the ownership costs.

From busy hubs like Johannesburg and Cape Town to routes connecting Gqeberha, Umhlanga, and East London, more individuals and businesses are discovering the convenience of renting instead of buying.

Why South Africans prefer renting vans and bakkies

Bakkies and vans are the backbone of South African businesses. These workhorse vehicles are used for deliveries, building projects, catering, helping people move homes, and even family getaways. Renting these vehicles gives you flexibility without worrying about maintenance or depreciation.

At our new Pace Van and Bakkie Rental sites, every vehicle is serviced regularly and ready to work as hard as you do. Whether you are transporting stock, moving house, or heading out on a road trip, Pace has a bakkie or van to suit your needs.

Car rental trends among business owners

Small and medium-sized enterprises form the heart of South Africa’s economy, and efficient transport keeps them running. Instead of buying and maintaining a fleet, more SMEs now rent vehicles to stay flexible and reduce overheads.

Pace Van and Bakkie Rental offer tailored business rental packages for companies needing multiple vehicles or recurring bookings. Businesses can rent for a few days, a few months, or on a long term basis, scaling up or down as demand changes.

How Pace Car Rental grew into Pace Van and Bakkie Rental

Pace Car Rental began in Johannesburg with a simple idea: to make car rental affordable and accessible for every South African. From day one, the focus was on excellent customer service, transparent pricing, and reliable vehicles. What started as a single branch in Marlboro, Sandton, grew into a national brand trusted by thousands of local and international renters each year.

Over time, customer needs evolved. More businesses and individuals began asking for practical vehicles such as vans and bakkies that could handle both work and lifestyle demands. To meet this growing demand, Pace expanded its offering and launched Pace Van and Bakkie Rental, a dedicated division focused on providing high-quality commercial and utility rentals for both companies and private renters.

Today, Pace Van and Bakkie Rental continues the same promise that built the Pace name: simple, affordable, and reliable rentals across South Africa.
