MLT Car Hire and Tours in Cape Town

A vehicle rental industry frontrunner offering bespoke shuttle and chauffeur services and airport transfers

“For us, the car is just the means to go on an adventure”, Janet Pillai, CEO and founder of MLT (Multilayer Trade Corporation) Car Hire and Tours says. “It’s not just about the car. It’s about the value of the experience for the individual who is behind the wheel of that car.”

Since the beginning – the rental company was founded in 2002 as a two-car start-up – MLT has strived to be far more than just your average vehicle-hire establishment offering an experience above and beyond their expert car rental facilities. Having gone to great lengths to provide local and international folk with a wide range of accessible and affordable automobiles and bespoke services, the car hire agent aims to ensure that many journeys take place behind the wheels of their vehicles.

“We go on adventures and that is what we provide our customers with; an experience rather than just a car rental”, Janet enthuses.

Offering professional and affordable custom-made car and bakkie hiring services as well as a plethora of other tailored facilities and activities, namely shuttle and chauffeur services, airport transfers and day tours, the fun and quirky MLT team wants nothing more than to provide their clients with the best vehicle and hire packages.

With a fleet of over 300 automobiles from leading car brands, clients can choose from a wide selection of foreign and domestic vehicles based on their specific car and budget requirements. Focusing on providing clientele with tailor-made packages explicitly suited to their particular travel needs and auto specifications, MLT takes pride in offering personalised vehicle hire solutions for a fraction of the price typically associated with larger car rental operators.

The vehicles are categorised in groups depending on the car type and engine size and clients can choose between anything from a Volkswagen Polo and Toyota Corolla to a Mercedes C Class and SUV Hyundai IX35. Much-loved features – air conditioning, radio/CD/MP3 player, power steering, airbags, central locking and ABS breaking – are generally seen across the board providing customers with all the functionality, comfort and luxury they need.

Understanding its versatility and resourcefulness, bakkie hire is also a key component of the rental company. Offering flexible hire packages suited for both private and commercial occasions, MLT hosts an array of light trucks including half- and one-ton and petrol and diesel options. Furthermore, should roof racks, a canopy or tow bar be required, just let the friendly MLT crew know and they’ll sort everything out at no extra cost.

The cars and bakkies are available for short-term, long-term (anything over a month) as well as contract-based hires where the daily rate is inversely proportionate to the number of days a client rents for. Comprehensive insurance – standard and super damaged waiver (SDW) – is included as well as all vehicles are guaranteed for all eventualities and MLT’s infrastructure enables them to meet the needs of insurance, fleet and retail sectors.

In addition, MLT provides bespoke and professional shuttle facilities. Utilising a wide range of modern vehicles and operating 24/7, services include point-to-point shuttle and chauffeur transport as well as non- and executive airport, hotel and corporate meeting transfers. MLT’s expert staff can also meet, greet and assist passengers arriving or departing from any ACSA airport – this service can be tailored to suit individual needs. All vehicles are equipped with GPS and Wi-fi.

Although not physically located at the airport, MLT will deliver its vehicles to the airport as well as collect (no tourism levy or airport fee attached) at a client’s request. Furthermore, MLT too will deliver its vehicles anywhere at an extra delivery and labour fee. Customers can also hire GPS systems and car seats from MLT directly.

“I’m an adventurer”, Janet concludes with a mysterious glint in her eye. “For me it’s the discovery – it’s all those hidden treasures you’ll notice along your journey that I really enjoy.” Therefore, it comes as no surprise that MLT encourages that sense of exploration, not only through providing its clients with a physical means to discover their surroundings, but also by offering a variety of bespoke packages and services.

So no matter your car-desires and hiring-needs, MLT Car Hire and Tours has you covered and so much more. Are you ready for an adventure?

NOTE: Clients picking up vehicles from MLT’s Foreshore offices are welcome to leave their car – at their own risk – for the duration of their rental agreement on the MLT premises.

Tip: Ask MLT about their econo-line vehicles. These cars are quoted at a cheaper rate with the clear knowledge that they’re an older model with a slightly higher mileage.

Free km: MLT is owner-managed and are therefore very hands-on and open to negotiation. They also offer a standard free 100-kms per a day per rental (excess kms will be charged at an additional cost). There is also a free 200-km per a day option at a slightly higher rate. Although there are no travel limits, drivers are advised to let MLT know when they’ll be leaving the Western Cape region.
