Booking Vehicles at Tempest Car Hire Centurion
- Customers may go to the Tempest Car Hire Centurion branch and do their car rental bookings with the consultant on site. Unfortunately, this means actually going to the branch which is not an option for many especially if the renter does not reside in Johannesburg and will only need the car when visiting the city.
- Customers may also choose to call the Tempest Car Hire central reservations call centre to make their booking. While a bit more accessible for non-residents of Johannesburg, it means spending quite some time on the phone which not many people find appealing.
- Customers may also book their vehicles online. This method allows for customers to do their own booking at any time, since the booking engine on the Tempest website is open all day long. The customer will also get an immediate confirmation on the booking through email.
Whichever method is chosen, the 3 step process remains the same. The following details are required during bookings. To save time in the rental queue at the Tempest Car Hire Centurion branch or on the telephone it is best to have details on hand.
- Dates for when the vehicle will be hired need to be given in. Also needed at this point are the time of day and the branch. Time and branch are needed so that Tempest will know when and where to have the vehicle ready.
- The second step is to choose a preferred vehicle. A list will be given of cars that are bookable for the dates given in step 1.
- Lastly, some personal and contact details are required and payment needs to be finalized.
Once these 3 steps are done, the booking will be confirmed.
