R169/day
The big brands price out the people who drive for a living.
Avis, Budget and First Car Rental are built for tourists on expense accounts. Rent-to-own providers lock drivers into years of credit. Neither works for someone who just needs a reliable, affordable car to go online and earn today. MotoRent is built for exactly that — and nothing else.
Built for e-hailing
Every car is Uber & Bolt platform-ready on day one — clean, inspected and documented so you can go online the moment you collect the keys.
R169/day, honestly
The daily rate you see is the rate you pay. No airport surcharges, no mystery admin fees, no surprise excess traps buried in the fine print.
Weekly rent-to-drive
Lock in a flat weekly package tuned for full-time drivers. Predictable costs, more kilometres included, and the freedom to hand it back anytime.
We own the Uber & Bolt driver niche.
While everyone else chases tourists, we go all-in on e-hailing drivers. Weekly rent-to-drive packages, platform-ready cars, and pricing engineered so more of every fare stays in your pocket. This is the product we wish existed when we started driving.

Loved by the people behind the wheel.
I switched from a rent-to-own deal that had me locked in for three years. With MotoRent I pay a flat weekly rate and I can stop whenever I want. My take-home is up every week.
R169 a day and the price actually stayed R169. No airport fee, no admin fee, no nonsense. I had the car online on Bolt within an hour of collecting it.
I only needed a car for a long weekend and every big brand wanted a fortune plus a huge deposit. MotoRent was a fraction of the price and dead simple to book.
