The global "credit crunch" of 2008 affected us all. Are you going to buy new off-road caravans or off-road trailers or camping gear that you going to use only once in 2009 or are you going to be smart and rent it at a fraction of the costs of buying it?
When you rent an off-road caravan from us the current rate is R943.80 which includes VAT and insurance - please check our latest rates card as rates and charges may change without notice. This rate is nearly 50% cheaper than owning such a unit.
RENT B-4 U BUY or rather just rent your camping gear and equipment for 2011
