I recently rented a truck from Power Truck Hire, and it was a terrible experience. The truck broke down while en route to my destination, which not only caused significant delays but also led to extra costs on my side. Despite the vehicle being in poor condition and unusable, Power Truck Hire still charged me for the rental. To make matters worse, I contacted their management, but they have yet to respond to my emails. I strongly advise against using Power Truck Hire—don’t risk the hassle and extra costs that come with their unreliable vehicles and unresponsive service.

We rented a 1-ton fridge truck from Power Truck, which also goes by the name Sparta/ Rent a Bakkie/Dial a truck/ Smart Truck. The fact that this company has to use this many pseudonyms is already a red flag. Upon returning the vehicle full of fuel, filled up at the filling station near their depot in Isando, we received an invoice charging us for an extra 2 litres of fuel, as well as a service fee. When we queried this, we were fobbed off. The second time we rented the same vehicle, we immediately drove to the filling station to see whether the fuel tank was given to us full. It wasn't. 8 litres empty in fact amounting to R240.10. We sent photos of the truck being filled at the filling station with the slip and gave them the name of the petrol attendant, only to be fobbed off again and the suspicion thrown on us. We never got our money back AND we were charged again for a few litres they said they had to add to the vehicle, even though we had filled it at the filling station around the corner from them. This company is corrupt and incompetent. Even getting an invoice with correct vat details on was a fight - I had to ask for it several times. Save yourself a lot of pain and never use: Spartan/Power Truck/ Rent a Bakkie/Dial a truck/ Smart Truck or whatever other name they might use in the future.

Will not refer anyone to this company. Useless company and unfortunately I use them because they are close to my client. If it wasn't for that would have told them to get lost along time ago.

I really don't like working with this company. They quick to charge you for things but you struggle to get invoices out of them to actually pay them. Then you drive 90km to pick up a truck and no paperwork is ready. You get brand new trucks with flat batteries, when you take the truck again you ask if it is right and get told its 100%. Low and behold you have to ask your client to jump start you. If you want your blood pressure to pushed through the roof use this company.
