| In 1979 Carol Scott started a car hire company just outside of Johannesburg with a modest fleet of just nine cars. Today Imperial Car Hire is regarded as a true market leader among other car hire companies with a fleet of well over 16 000 vehicles in 120 locations around Southern Africa. |
| It is unique especially in the fact that it is the only home grown car rental company to have been awarded Proudly South African status and remains a dedicated supporter of the Proudly South African initiative. |
