Our Fleet

"When we started Tortoise Car Hire back in 2006, it wasn't because we set out to build a car rental company. It was because we couldn't rent a vehicle ourselves without a credit card, and we knew we weren't the only ones.
We're based in Sedgefield, which happens to be known for its tortoises and was proudly named South Africa's first Slow Town. It felt like the right name for a business built on being steady and reliable rather than rushed.
Nearly twenty years later, that's still what matters most to us: looking after every single client who chooses to support a small, local business. Thank you for being here."
