A tweep has shared that his Mercedez Benz V Class is available for hire for this forthcoming Durban July weekend.
He revealed that it’ll cost R20 000 to secure his V Class for three days – a driver is included in the package.
He tweeted: “Hi guys. V-Class is available for rental from JHB to Durban or in Durban for this July weekend. Driver included. 20k for the 3 days (negotiable). DM for more details.”
The 20k rental fee has left social media users appalled as they see no reason why it should cost so much money to get the car for just the weekend.
The sentiment around most tweeps is that the fee is exorbitant while a few believe it is justifiable.

Kaya 959 reached out to Luxury Executive Priority, a luxury car rental company to find out the market price to rent a Mercedes Benz V Class.
A representative of the company says “it shouldn’t cost more than R8500 to hire the vehicle for the day (This includes a driver).”
So if we’re going according to the R8500 a day, which adds up to R25 500 for a weekend, then the R 20 000 for a weekend fee is justifiable.
According to the luxury rental company, this amount (R8 500) “would be less if you’ll be driving the car yourself.” A background check would have to be done for “security reasons.”
