“Everything they agreed with us turned out better than agreed. Special thanks to our driver Omar for his manners and good judgement in every situation, and a great plan for each day. I recommend him to everyone.”

Compared with Uber and an airport taxi

Uber and Bolt pick up at CPT and cost less for a short trip. With us the price is agreed before you fly, and your driver is already in the arrivals hall when you come through.

Questions

Is the price per person?

No. It covers the vehicle and driver: up to 3 passengers in the sedan, 7 in the people carrier and 6 in the luxury van.

Where will the driver meet us?

In the arrivals hall, international or domestic, holding a sign with your name. Your driver’s name, phone number and car reach you on WhatsApp the day before.

What if my flight is delayed?

We track it and move the pickup. Waiting is free for up to 2 hours after you land. After that, each extra hour is £21 in the sedan, £23 in the people carrier and £40 in the luxury van.

How much luggage fits?

The sedan takes 3 medium suitcases. The people carrier and the luxury van take 8. If you have more or larger bags, add a note when you book and we will suggest the right car.

Can you take us back to the airport?

Yes. Choose “Both ways” when you book, or “Departing” for the trip to the airport only. A return costs twice the one-way price.

Do you drive to the Winelands or Hermanus from the airport?

Yes. Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, Paarl, Somerset West and Simon’s Town are in the Winelands row of the price table, and Hermanus and Langebaan are in the Further out row. For the Garden Route we send a price for your route.

Do you have child seats?

On request. The first seat is free, a second is £7.

Are prices higher over Christmas and New Year?

Yes. From 15 December to 10 January, prices are 15% higher. These dates are marked in the booking calendar, and the price updates when you choose one.

How do I pay?

Airport transfers and full days booked at least 24 hours ahead can be paid by card when you book, and the booking is confirmed at once. For other trips, or if you prefer, send a request: we confirm first, then send a Yoco card payment link. Payments go through Yoco with 3-D Secure, in South African rand. Your bank converts it, so your statement can differ slightly from the pounds or dollars shown here.

How do I cancel?

Send us a WhatsApp message up to 24 hours before pickup and we refund in full. If you cancel later than that, or do not show, we refund 50%.

Book online, or send your dates

Airport transfers and full days are confirmed as soon as you pay. For longer trips, we confirm on WhatsApp and send a card link. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before pickup.
