42 and Climbing

First Car Rental has opened its 42nd car rental branch in Bellville in the Western Cape. Located at 212 Durban Road in Oakdale, Cape Town, this 42nd branch quickly follows last month’s opening of our Rustenburg branch in the North West. Uta Wessels is the Bellville branch manager and we wish her and her team First success.
 
 
 
We Were There!

Let’s be honest. Put us all together and we make a beautiful sight. We are proud South Africans for putting on the best World Cup ever. Wednesday, 9th June 2010 marks a day in history for all who experienced it. The Vuvuzela Moment. First Car Rental staff from around South Africa joined thousands of Wold Cup supporters in the streets wearing their ‘First for Bafana Bafana’ supporters shirts and blowing their vuvuzela’s for 5 minutes and beyond. We were there!
 
     
 
Connor Scores a Century

First Car Rental’s ‘Kick it with Connor’ competition, which closed on the 11th July, was a great success with approximately 1500 Football First entries and 12 video entries of amazingly sporty dogs, cats and birds. The winners of the Chevrolet Spark Lite and car rental weekends will be announced on 2nd August and will be featured in our August newsletter.

First Car Rental joins SAFTLA

First Car Rental, a member of SAVRALA (South African Vehicle Rental and Leasing Association), has joined SAFTLA (South African Fleet Traffic & Licensing Association), a Section 21 non-profit organisation set up after a recommendation from the judiciary in Cape Town in 2009. SAFTLA was formed to create a mouthpiece for fleet companies with the Metro and Licensing Departments to reach a standard within the industry.
 
     
 
Special Thanks

A special thanks goes to Anita Duff from Doggy Parlour Supplies for making Connor (from Kick it with Connor fame) and Cameron’s (Connor’s #1 fan) wonderful supporter jersey by hand, and at no cost, but which they never got to wear as the day of the video shoot was just too hot.
