Hertz Car Hire is an international car hire company whose history in South Africa is a turbulent one. Though it was South Africa’s first ever car hire company; the company which started in 1919 as Dalville Wood Motors and Car Hire and became a Hertz franchise in the 1950s South Africa, was somehow overtaken in popularity and fame by other car hire companies which came later even though it is ranked among the top. Maybe because of the ten to eleven year period that Hertz left South Africa between 1986 and 1997. It has now been back in the country for seventeen years.
