We hired our 4wheel drive Toyota via Riksja at Johannesburg airport. Service was perfect! Pickup great, with help of kgabo mahlo we got a nice upgrade. We drove many km in this beautiful country where the roads are sometimes challenging. Very happy during our stay and handing in was also very easy and customer friendly.

We hired a car at Johannesburg airport, we booked it using booking.com with full insurance since we had to drive over 3000km, mixed city visits and the parks, also Swaziland (you need to ask for a special paper if you are planning to do that). The pricing was good. All went really fine, easy pick up (you need to have the Booking.com booking information, we found it back in our emails), smooth handling when we brought the car back after +2 weeks. We got our full deposit back after a few days. Really nothing to complain about.
Good and friendly service and we will use Bluu again in the future.

I arrived in Johannesburg, airport 7th of February 2025. To my annoyance they asked me tto provide copies of my agreement with booking.com. for their own use. They said they didn’t have any information about my agreement. After returning the car, I’ve received information that the car had a damaged front fog light and a scratched bumper. I accused Bluu of fraud and also was asked for extra costs for fuel. When using any hire company you keep all receipts and video evidence of the car you hired. On returning do the same saving time and money in the future. The car I hired didn’t have a front fog light fitted

UNFAIR
Arrived a Johannesburg se realised would charge us with unreasonable deposit
2 times and mi credit card plafond has been drained for all my vacations period

Still waiting to unlock those amounts

My overall experience with Bluu was disappointing. We booked car (suv) online starting from Kimberley to Cape Town. When we arrived at the airport in Kimberley to pick the car, they gave us a car different from what we booked. Then they asked us to pay an additional caution to the one we payed online, which we payed. When we gave back the car in Cape Town everything went well and the car was examined by them and the car was given in the same state as we received it. But then after 2 weeks, they started to contact us saying that we should pay reparation of the car because of scratches and they never returned our caution!!!!!! Also in Kimberley, there was no copy given for anything we signed. All in all, this was a bad experience and I would not recommend anyone to rent car from this company!!!!

Für unsere Rundreise in Südafrika haben wir online einen Wagen gebucht. Beim Schalter von Bluu in Kimberley war dieser Wagen dann gar nicht vor Ort. Wir haben einen kleinen Wagen ohne Preisnachlass erhalten. Dieser sei anscheinend noch komfortabler als das gebuchte Modell.
Als wir den Wagen in Kapstadt abgegeben haben, war nachweislich bei der Übergabe alles ok. Drei Wochen später habe ich dann eine Email von bluu erhalten. Ich soll einen Kratzer im Lack verursacht haben. Die gesamte Kaution von ca. 500 € wurde einbehalten.

DO NOT USE BLUU...!!!! How stupid am I to read all negative reviews and I still proceeded to book.They are a scam as other reviewers say.Anyway if you have extra monies to throw around go ahead and use them.

If everything was normal, good car, clean... When we return the car with a full tank, everything was ok except a few days later we were charged of 80 rands aproximatively 4€ for 3 liters of fuel??? We just have drive 10 kms (nearest gas station). Sorry but it's a scam ...

zeer tevreden over de autohuur. AUto werd gebracht op de locatie, goede service. Prima auto, een keer gebruik moeten maken van de service onderweg, pin in de band, prima geholpen. Geen verborgen kosten en geen gezeur over bijkopen van extra verzekeringen. Afgesloten via Riksja AAA.

Das Unternehmen hätte ehrlicherweise nicht einmal 1 Stern verdient. Bitte lasst die Finger davon! Egal was dir die Mitarbeiter vor Ort versprechen, schlussendlich wird irgend ein Phantasie-Betrag der Kreditkarte belastet, da man nicht voll getankt hätte. Vorweisen von Tankbeleg und Foto der Tankanzeige reichen angeblich nicht als Beweis. Habe dies gleich in 2 Fällen hintereinander erlebt. Zudem werden dieselben Schäden am Auto immer und immer wieder dem Kunden verrechnet. Es gibt eigentlich nichts, was reibungslos abläuft bei der Miete mit Bluu. Unfaire und unmenschliche Maschen, anstatt ehrlichverdientes Geld... Nie wieder!

This company is a SCAM!!! DON’T USE!!! I had paid 100% rental fee online while they still tricked me into signing an agreement at the counter with hidden fees including Collision Damage Waiver Top Up and Theft Loss Waiver Top Up which are definitely not legit and the agent said the fees, similar to gas refuelling fee, did not apply to me. But they still charged 550 rands from my credit card 3 days after I returned the car and left South Africa. I did some research online and found many other customers who were scammed in similar ways.

Awful customer service. I arrived at the Cape Town central branch to collect my pre-booked hire car (arranged months in advance) only to be told that the company had "cancelled the booking" without telling me. This left me with re-arranged accommodation but no car to get to it. The employee just shrugged at me, wholly disinterested.

Hired a car in March 2024, filled up with fuel beside the returns area . Everything was ok when returning the vehicle. A week later i received a bill for refuelling and an admin charge.Now this week, 4 months later they have taken £17.20 from my card saying it is a late payment charge. This company are scammers and should be avoided. Please do not use them, they are the worst ever, poor poor poor. If you use them you will regret it. I gave them a star at the start of this review but trust me it should be a minus.

Absolute Frechheit. Nach über 4 Monaten kommt eine Rechnung über 40 Euro. Verspätungsgebühr. Schämt Euch für diese Abzocke!

Nie mehr!

Dont use BLUU, they will take you fuelled up rental return drive it to a garage to put q or 2 ltr in then charge you extra to fill it up. They also charge a rediculous R120 for stupid contract fee. If you chip a windscreen be careful as it seem they dont have insuranve on their vehicles if did not take out additional insuranve cover. They will not charge excee only but the full replacement amount. And likely thencaim the same from their insurance. Useless dodgy car rental stay clear. Never had nonesense like this before from any rental firm. Two weeks later they still sitting on R18000 DEPOSIT.

Hired a car in capetown, collected and returned no issues. Only to be a sent an invoice for a contract fee of R120 that will be taken from my credit card. Yet this was no where stated or informed that a contract fee will be taken in addition to what we paid.

Absolute scammers.

Bluu car rental was actually good. Pick up was easy and fast. BUT... I just received my final invoice and have been charged for refuelling!!!! We refuelled the car at the airport in Joburg and asked the attendant 3 times to top up. Leads on to believe that there is something fishy going at that branch

Do not rent any vehicle from these scammers, you will not receive your deposit back, they invent excuses, claiming my card is an international one, when they are based at CT International airport, you couldn’t make it up. Please avoid at any cost, you will be scammed!!!

Normally, I am not writing reviews. HOWEVER for this company I will do it to ensure that people would not rent a car from this firm. We went to South-Africa to rent a car from Johannesburg to Durban and afterwards from Port Elisabeth to Cape Town. When we had to deliver the car back at both airports, the people from the bluu company did their very best to search for the smallest scratches/damages on the car. They blaimed us for damaging the car, even we were sure that it was not our fault. Even if this firm looks attractive due to the lower price of car renting, in the end, the money you have to pay is even higher than at the regular firms. So my recommendation: do not hire a car at bluu!!

During our roadtrip in south africa we did rent a car two times (johannesburg - durban and port elizabeth - cape town) with this company. When we wanted to hand in the cars at both destinations, they again find ‘ scratches, damage’ that were not present during pick up they told us, which was not the case (they even search for scratches below the car) we didn’t had any car accident or problem, so please don’t use this company, they only want money.
