About

We’re Jimmy’s – and we keep car hire simple

We started Jimmy's to take the stress out of hiring a car in Cape Town. Instead of queues, counters and complicated paperwork, we offer a personal, straightforward experience. Every Jimny is one we maintain and hand over ourselves, so from booking to pickup, you'll always know what to expect.

Fast. Friendly. Local.

We know your time matters, especially when you've just landed. That's why we skip the rental counters and long forms. We meet you in Sea Point, our office in the city centre or at the airport, hand over the keys and get you on the road. The whole thing usually takes about 10 minutes.

Clear pricing, no surprises

What you see when you book is what you pay. No hidden fees, no unexpected charges, no fine print. If you ever have a question about pricing, insurance or what's included, we're easy to reach and always happy to help.

Designed around the way you travel

Our Suzuki Jimnys are perfectly suited to Cape Town and its surroundings. Compact, comfortable and easy to drive, they handle coastal roads, mountain passes and weekend trips without feeling complicated or intimidating. One fleet, one focus, one simple experience.

We couldn’t have asked for a better car or better service. We’ll definitely choose Jimmy’s Car Hire again on our next visit. Highly recommended!

A very well-organized small car rental company that only offers Jimny's. We initially searched in vain for an office location in Seapoint, but it doesn't exist. Everything is done via the website and WhatsApp. The clear contract is created and signed online, and data and documents are uploaded online. Everything is quick and pragmatic, without unnecessary, time-consuming, and confusing paperwork.
