How delivery works

Who we are here for

Removing barriers to vehicle ownership.

We work with employed South Africans who have been turned away by traditional finance — people with bad credit, under debt review, or previously blacklisted. Our rent-to-own model is a structured, transparent and achievable path to owning your vehicle.

Proudly based in the Western Cape, we serve clients across every province with free nationwide delivery, provincial licensing and dedicated local servicing.

  • Employed, with a net take-home of R 12 500 or more a month
  • A decision within 24 to 48 hours of your last document
  • One fixed monthly amount — insurance, tracker, maintenance plan and licensing inside it

Our promise

Every client deserves a fair opportunity.

We believe a credit score should never define your access to mobility. Our team is committed to finding a vehicle that works within your budget and your circumstances — with full transparency at every step, and every amount in writing before you sign.

Why DrivePort exists

Built for the people the system left behind.

DrivePort started in 2017 with a pattern we had seen too many times: hardworking, employed South Africans turned away by the banks because of a credit history — people who could plainly afford a monthly payment, and simply needed someone to look at that instead of a score.

So we built a rent-to-own company around them. Bank-repossessed vehicles priced from where they already stand, no credit checks, one fixed monthly amount with the expensive things inside it, free delivery to every province, and ownership at the end of 60 months — written into a plain agreement, confirmed in a quotation before anyone signs.

We have built a rent-to-own model that benefits the client at every stage. That is the whole idea, and it is the test we hold every decision to.

What makes DrivePort different

Six things we do on purpose.

  • Bank-repossessed vehicles

    We work exclusively with bank-repossessed vehicles. Your agreement is structured from the previous owner's bank balance rather than retail value — a lower deposit and a more competitive monthly amount.

  • No credit checks

    We never run a bureau check. Your employment status, your income and your bank statements are what matter — not your score, a past blacklisting or debt review. If you are employed and earning, we want to help you.

  • Free delivery to every province

    Based in the Western Cape, serving all nine provinces. Your vehicle is registered and licensed in your home province and delivered to your door at no charge, typically 3 to 5 working days after payment.

  • Every cost in writing

    Your deposit, your fixed monthly amount and the once-off licensing fee are set out in your quotation before you commit. The monthly amount never goes up. No hidden fees, no fine print designed to catch you out.

  • Your own client portal

    Apply, upload your documents, follow your application, sign your contract digitally and manage everything in real time — from any phone, anywhere in the country.

  • Yours after 60 months

    After your 60th instalment the vehicle is registered in your name at no extra cost. This is not an open-ended rental with no destination — it is a structured road to ownership.

Prefer to sign in person?

You are welcome.

Approved clients are welcome at our Wellington branch to sign their agreement and make their payments in person, Mon–Fri 08:00–17:00. Our team walks you through every document and answers every question before you sign. Nothing requires you to travel: the whole process also works from your phone, anywhere in South Africa.

Please note that our premises are reserved for approved clients. Anyone else may visit only together with an approved client — this protects the security and privacy of all our clients.

Who may visit
Clients approved through the portal, with a confirmed DP reference number.
Collection
Western Cape clients may collect 48 hours after payment is confirmed; out-of-province clients receive free delivery, as the vehicle is registered in their province first.
