Re: Car rental advice for foreign visitors
After our recent experience with BIDVEST, I strong recommend NOT to use them as a rental company.

God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.

Has anyone any views on the Ford Ecosport for 21 days in KNP? Mainly for the higher seat position and ground clearance. How does it compare with the Toyota Avansa? There are only two of us.

Where do you pick it up? If at Tambo Airport they only have the Toyota. I have also tried to find something else, but have only found that one. Maybe the Ford is a too recent model

What did you think of the Avansa, is it worth paying the extra for the higher ride?Lisbeth wrote:Where do you pick it up? If at Tambo Airport they only have the Toyota. I have also tried to find something else, but have only found that one. Maybe the Ford is a too recent model

Hello, Ray! 
Avanza is better than sedan, lots of space and quite cheap and high, and fine for highway too!
