Why choose Planet42

Choose the car you want

You find the car, we finance it. It’s that simple. Just find the used car that’s perfect for you and contact the dealership. Then they’ll organise your financing application with us.

One simple monthly payment

Once you sign the contract and get your car, you make one monthly payment to us, which includes insurance and a tracker device.

Buy-out option

You can buy the car from us outright at any point – the buy-out price decreases every month.

We believe in you

Many banks don’t offer finance, even to qualified professionals with steady jobs. But we do.

Democratise mobility
– your ride, your journey

We want car ownership to be available to everyone in South Africa who can afford it, not just the fortunate few favoured by the banks. Find out more about what drives us to democratise mobility.

  • Access to employment
  • Access to education
  • More time
