HERTZ Southern Africa Dollar & Thrifty gets the delivery of Jetour T2 Odyssey models.
The rental fleet company also confirmed more delivery will be made in weeks to come.
“This is Jetour South Africa’s first direct rental fleet customer, making it a significant milestone for our business.
Rental car companies are highly selective about the brands and models they introduce into their fleets. They need vehicles that have proven reliability, strong resale value and the ability to perform under the demands of daily rental use,” says the excited Lazola Qungwana, Head of Sales at Jetour South Africa.
“Being chosen by a company like Hertz Southern Africa Dollar & Thrifty is a vote of confidence not only in the Jetour T2, but in the Jetour brand as a whole”.
The delivery was held in Midrand, this week, at the head office of Hertz Southern Africa Dollar & Thrifty.
“Our hope is that our partnership with Hertz Southern Africa Dollar & Thrifty will be the first of many, as we continue building Jetour into a brand that is trusted not only by everyday consumers, but by large-scale fleet operators who put our vehicles to the test every single day,” says Qungwana.
“Our growth to date has been driven primarily by individual retail customers. Our entry into the fleet market provides valuable additional brand exposure. We look forward to Hertz Southern Africa Dollar & Thrifty customers experiencing all that Jetour has to offer for themselves,” he continued.
For Hertz Southern Africa Dollar & Thrifty, it offers a comprehensive range of short- and long-term mobility solutions for business and leisure customers through a nationwide network of more than 40 rental locations at major airports and in key cities. Its fleet includes passenger vehicles, SUVs, bakkies and premium models, with a focus on quality service, convenience and reliability.
In 2026 Jetour retained its 8th-place position in South Africa’s new vehicle sales rankings for several consecutive months.
Having launched in South Africa in September 2024, Jetour had already broken into the country’s top 15 passenger vehicle brands by July the following year.
Driving sales demand has been the launch of the T-Series last October, while the T2’s victory at the 2026 South African Car of the Year awards in May further cemented Jetour’s growing reputation and popularity locally.
The Jetour brand has found a niche market in SA, no wonder its smiling all the way to the bank.
