Tempest’s Tantalizing History

Time flies when you’re having fun and we’ve been having fun since 1986. Back in the days of bad hairstyles, pastel clothing and the birth of rave music, Tempest Car Hire opened our doors for business to take on the car rental big guns. We saw a gap and went for it: The market needed a car rental provider who was super economical and offered personalised service with a smile. And our clients have been smiling ever since, after all, who can resist great rates, new cars and world class service?

What makes us tick?

Ridiculously low rental rates. That means servicing cost conscious, smart corporate and leisure markets who want to save on their travel budgets. A narrowing of the economy, both locally and internationally and the substantial increase in car rental competitors have led us to rethink our positioning strategy.

Today, we focus specifically on being a price sensitive car rental company and are totally committed to cutting costs to offer great value for your money each time you rent with us.

Our Connections

The success of this small little fox terrier of a company was noticed by the heavies and we got snapped up as a really valuable proposition by the Imperial Holdings Group in 1991. This was a pretty cool move as it enabled us to expand our infrastructure and gain accessibility to a much larger fleet pool to service our expanding client base. Did we mention that we are one of South Africa’s leading car rental companies? Yip, we’ve become a heavy but still offer that same personalised service while keeping our rates economical.

Howdy Partner

Things are always better in pairs, like Batman and Robin or fish and chips! At Tempest Car Hire we have created strategic alliances with various partners to make your travel experience more pleasurable. Our partners represent all spheres of the South African leisure industry and are committed to helping you find the best travel and accommodation deals around. When you book your travel arrangement through their website, you may very often also book car hire directly at the same time.

Doing it Right

We ain’t no wild cowboys, Tempest Car Hire is a member of SAVRALA (South African Vehicle Rental and Leasing Association) and maintains the strict code of conduct necessary for members of the Association.

We are proud to announce our partnership with Dreamfields, a partnership which is about making a difference in the everyday lives of young South Africans.
