About us

Noah Tourism - rent a car with complete peace of mind.

Renting cars since 2018, without an insurance excess hanging over the trip.

Since 2018

Why we started, and what we insisted on.

When we launched our car rental service in 2018, one thing became clear very quickly. Travellers wanted simple, transparent rentals without excess surprises.

Questions around damage, windscreens, tyres, scratches, assessor fees and undercarriage cover can make car rental confusing. Through us, these are included where applicable to the destination and rental conditions, while we still work hard to keep our rates competitive.

Do you have to pay the excess first and claim it back later?

For most of our destinations, the answer is no. We offer excess-free cover rather than a reimbursement system, meaning you are not expected to pay for covered damage upfront and then complete forms or wait for a refund.

For most destinations, we provide a comprehensive no-charge policy for damages rather than a traditional refund system, eliminating any upfront obligations.

To date, no renter booking through us has been charged for vehicle damage.

We also offer competitive rates on flights and hotels in destinations we know well, including Seychelles, Mauritius, the Maldives, South Africa and Zanzibar. Visit our website.

The fine print

When could you still be liable for damage?

Excess-free cover applies as long as the rental conditions are followed. If damage is caused by negligence, unlawful use or a breach of the rental agreement, the rental company may still charge for the damage.

This includes situations such as driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, excessive speeding, unauthorised drivers, misuse of the vehicle or ignoring road and safety conditions.

Some rental companies also classify single-vehicle accidents as negligence simply because no other vehicle was involved. We do not partner with providers that apply this type of blanket exclusion.

Good to know

What else should you know before renting a car?

One-way returnsIf you collect and return the vehicle in different locations, a one-way fee may apply. We will make any applicable fee clear before payment.
Your credit cardThe main driver must have a credit card in their own name with sufficient available credit for the rental deposit. We recommend carrying a second card as a backup.
Your driving licenceBring a valid driving licence that is clearly readable in English. If it is not in English, an international driving permit or English translation may be required.

We rented a car through Stav during our 3 week trip in SA. Stav was extremely helpful, and having full coverage and his help was much appreciated when we were involved in a minor car accident. Stav took care of everything and we got a replacement vehicle without any problems, additional charges etc.

Furthermore, his website is a goldmine with useful tips and recommendations. We booked a whale watching experience following the recommendation on his website which was amazing. Although we visited at the end of the whale season, the company took extra time to locate a whale and in the end it paid off! We got to see a Bryde’s whale! We wholeheartedly recommend Stav!!

We received from Stav a complete trip plan that fits exactly the group (a family with 4 children aged 11 to 18), including travel routes during the day. The recommendations are excellent and accurate. Accommodations in amazing locations and at great prices.

Stav took care of booking vehicles and a variety of attractions. Feel confident that you have someone to talk to when you are in Africa – Stav is always available to help, even with booking the WILD CARD. (We didn’t have to worry about anything). Highly recommended!!!!

A very warm recommendation to use the local agent Stav!!! for planning a trip, booking accommodations and cars.

He arranged for us the route, hotels, car, recommendations for attractions, restaurants, etc. and was available for any need, there is no reason not to use him, he closes the hotels at the same price as Booking or other websites, Stav has a very good relationship with the hotels and restaurants he works with and when you come through him you receive good and preferential treatment!

I used Stav for help, and not for the first time, in booking hotels and vehicles for a trip to Victoria Falls and South Africa that I planned myself. In addition, I received very useful advice and tips from Stav that contributed greatly to the success of the trip. Stav is professional, courteous, patient, and available. I highly recommend using his services.
