I booked a Toyota Corolla, but the rental company provided a very new Honda instead. It was smooth to drive, though the power was a bit lacking. For pickup, I called the rental company and they sent someone to pick me up. The vehicle inspection and pickup process went very smoothly. The staff also confirmed the drop-off location with me, and after adding WhatsApp, they sent me the return address, road conditions, and corresponding pictures through the app. Following these instructions, I easily found the drop-off point. The rental company staff were friendly and their service was excellent, deserving of praise!

Merci à Europcar et surtout à Gavin au guichet qui nous a dit avec un grand sourire que la voiture était neuve! Très facile à trouver.

Initially received a car that seemed to have some accident damage but they changed it. Struggled to locate the pick up but when we found it the staff were helpful.

The pick up counter staff would nor accept the on line voucher and as I couldn’t print it , it made life very stressful, they managed to print it for me in the end. They said we were upgraded but we think the car given was a downgrade. On returning the car the staff got very rude when I requested some paperwork saying the car was all in order on return

When we went to rent a car, there was almost no waiting time. Although our English was not very good and communication was a bit slow, the lady who assisted us was patient and very helpful.

Very poor experience. The rental platform promised a 1400KM driving limit, but charged extra for 700KM. After a long appeal, the customer experience was terrible with serious unexplained charges!!

The service attitude was decent, though there was only one person at the counter. When picking up the car, the staff informed us that the BMW 3 Series we reserved was not available and arranged an Audi A4 without our consent. We later spoke to the store manager who helped us get a Mercedes C180. Additionally, no one guided us during pickup; we searched in the parking garage for a while.

At drop off, they refused to give a paper or statement showing the state of the car and that the tank was full... the deposit was not an authorization- the amount had been taken off my account directly and the amount that should be retroceeded could take 10 working days and no proof that everything was ok. First time it happens to me with a society of car hire !

Like: I rented a people carrier for 6 passengers on this occasion. I got good service, a clean car and great value for money.
Dislike: Side sliding door did not work so we had to enter/exit using the opposite door during the rental period.

Rented a car from Oct28th to Nov11th in Johannesburg South Africa. At the counter, they were not pleased with the price already paid with "Easyrentcars". I had to pay for a second driver and an authorisation to cross border travel. They changed averythong in the contract, trying to make me pay more than the fees for these to addons. Finally, the final contract was to be R1004 more. They charged me R2275 on my card on the same day and I saw it when I received my account during december. They don't answer to my demands for a refund. A SCAM !!??

The car was pretty terrible. I ended up with a Renault Kwid which was the most underpowered basic car I’ve rented in years.

I have used all of the major hire car companies in South Africa over the past 2 years and this was my first time with Woodford. The Staff are so efficient (Justus especially)! nothing took time, no nonsense and the car was in great condition exactly as Id booked. Drop off was easy and no hidden charges or pressure to buy additional insurances. Id really recommend Woodford for car hire in Johannesburg... unbeatable!
