In today’s world, owning a car is often a necessity rather than a luxury. It gives you the freedom to travel, access to job opportunities, and the ability to meet daily responsibilities efficiently. However, for individuals who have been blacklisted due to financial difficulties, obtaining a vehicle can be a big obstacle.
Understanding Blacklisting and Its Impact on Car Ownership
Impact on Car Ownership
Being blacklisted impacts car ownership in many ways:
- Difficulty in Obtaining Traditional Car Financing: Blacklisted individuals are often denied loans from banks and traditional lenders, making it nearly impossible to finance a vehicle through conventional means.
- Limited Access to Reliable Transportation: Without the ability to finance a car, blacklisted individuals may have to rely on public transport or older, less reliable vehicles, which can affect their quality of life and job prospects.
- Higher Interest Rates and Unfavourable Terms: In cases where blacklisted individuals do obtain financing, they often face high interest rates and unfavourable terms, making car ownership costly and stressful.
Gaining Back Freedom and Mobility with Rent-to-Own
What is Rent-to-Own?
The rent-to-own model provides an alternative pathway to car ownership, specifically designed to help those who struggle with traditional financing. It allows individuals to rent a vehicle with the option to purchase it at the end of the rental period.
The Rent to buy a car Process
Application: The initial application process for a rent-to-own vehicle is straightforward and designed to be more inclusive than traditional financing methods. You will need:
- Are you a South African citizen?
- Do you have a valid driver’s licence?
- Do you take home a net income of R15,000 or more a month, or are you self-employed with an average monthly turnover exceeding R60,000?
If you answered “yes” to these questions, you’re closer than you think to having a car.
You will also need to provide:
- Proof of income to ensure you can afford the monthly payments.
- Necessary documentation such as identification, proof of residence, and a valid driver’s licence.
Approval: The focus is on the applicant’s current financial situation and ability to make regular payments rather than their past credit history.
Rental Period: The rental period is 54 months and we guarantee the rental you pay at month 1 is the rental you will pay at month 54.
Benefits of rent to own cars
Accessibility: One of the key advantages of rent-to-own cars is the accessibility they offer to blacklisted individuals.
Affordability: Rent-to-own agreements often require less money upfront compared to traditional financing.
Flexibility: Rent-to-own agreements provide flexibility in several ways:
- Vehicle Choice: Renters can choose to upgrade or downgrade their vehicle at any time after the 18th month during the rental period.
- Repayment Terms: The terms can be set to match the individual’s financial ability, with manageable monthly payments.
- No Mileage Limits: Unlike traditional leases, the majority of Rent to Buy programmes have mileage limitations, but No Finance Cars does not. This gives you more freedom to use the car with no restrictions.
- Location: No Finance Cars has a footprint in all major metropolitan areas across South Africa, making it easier for clients to walk into a branch and drive out with a car.

Notes:
Definition of Blacklisting
People are put on a “blacklist” by credit bureaus when they have had past financial problems like not paying debts, defaults, or bankruptcy that make them a high risk to borrow money from again. This status limits a person’s ability to secure loans and other financial products.
Blacklisted individuals may find it particularly difficult to obtain a car. They often lack the good credit necessary to qualify for traditional auto financing options.”
