Seven Things to Do with a Rental Bakkie

what to do with a rental bakkie blog

Can you name seven uses for a rental bakkie? We can! From cross-country trips to mobile movie theatres, here are seven cool things you can do with a bakkie…

Rent a Bakkie to Move House

Make packing up your crib and heading over to your new home easy! Executing a DIY move with a hired bakkie is far cheaper than hiring a traditional moving company – so you can save your cents to buy yourself a nice little housewarming present. For small moves, choose between the dynamic Toyota Hilux 2.0 VVTi. For larger moves, we’ve got the Toyota Dyna 4093.

Hire a Bakkie to Go on the Great South African Road Trip

Want a vehicle that’ll take you across South Africa’s beautiful and often rugged terrain in comfort? May we recommend the tough but luxe Ford Ranger 2.2 Double Cab – spacious enough for the whole family, and their luggage, with both the pace to cruise the country’s freeways and the power to navigate the rockiest roads.

Use a Rental Bakkie to Take the Dogs to the Beach

Doggies love the beach, but you don’t love that dog hair all over your car seats quite so much? Preserve your spiffing sportscar or sensational sedan – hire a bakkie instead! Put your dogs on the back, and head off for day at the seaside without the worry of excited claws scratching your leather upholstery – humans and dogs both win!

Hire a Bakkie and Host a Tailgate Party

Tailgate parties may not be allowed at the big rugby games anymore, but no reason why you can’t host a tailgate party of your own to support your local community or club rugby team. Just flip down the tailgate, position the cooler box filled with your favourite beverages (remember the designated driver, folks) and snacks with easy reach of your deck chairs, and you’re done, son!

Haul Out a Bakkie to Go Camping

Happy campers, the back of a bakkie is the perfect base for your mattress or tent. The elevation will keep you free of pesky insects and protect you from damp ground, which makes for an all-round comfier camping trip!

Bakkies are Made for Transporting Goods

Got goods or produce to fetch or deliver, but purchasing your own bakkie isn’t warranted? Just hire one! We’ve got bakkies purpose-built for the task – whether you need to load up the back or use it to tow a trailer. A vehicle like the Toyota Hilux 2.0 VVTi can carry up to a tonnes of weight, while our Toyota Dyna 4093 has a mega hauling capacity of 1.5 tonnes!

Use a Bakkie to Make a Drive-In Theatre

Proper drive-in theatres are thin on the ground, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still enjoy the full outdoor movie experience. This is a great party idea for birthdays, anniversaries or Halloween – hire a bakkie, pile some bedding in the back, borrow a projector and screen, get your mates around and indulge in the ultimate retro movie night. Don’t forget the popcorn!
