Vehicle Transportation Services in South Africa
Cars, bakkies & motorcycles moved between all major centres
Careful Movers transports vehicles safely across South Africa, from a single car to a fleet, and can carry your vehicle alongside your furniture on a long-distance move. Fully insured, tracked and handled by professionals, door to door.
✓ Insured in transit
✓ Nationwide routes
✓ Tracked door to door
Careful Movers provides professional vehicle transport services across South Africa, moving cars, bakkies and motorcycles on the same insured, satellite-tracked fleet we use for household and office removals. Moving a vehicle long distance is not something to trust to just anyone, so whether you are relocating and want your car to travel with your furniture, or you simply need a vehicle moved between two cities, we handle it door to door with a clear record from collection to delivery.
One Company for Your Whole Move
Because we already run scheduled long-distance trips for furniture, adding a vehicle is straightforward and cost-effective. You deal with one team, one booking and one point of contact, instead of juggling a separate car-carrier company. It is the simplest way to get your car, bakkie or motorbike to its new city on the same timeline as the rest of your move.

What Does Vehicle Transport Cost?
Vehicle transport is priced mainly on distance and the size of the vehicle, with your dates and whether it is a runner also playing a part. The ranges below are indicative 2026 guides for a single car, to help you budget before you get an exact quote.
| Job size | Typical example | Indicative price |
|---|---|---|
| Short route | e.g. Johannesburg to Bloemfontein or Nelspruit | R2,000 – R4,000 |
| Medium route | e.g. Johannesburg to Durban | R3,000 – R5,500 |
| Long route | e.g. Johannesburg to Cape Town or Gqeberha | R4,500 – R8,000 |
| With a furniture move | Vehicle added to your household relocation | Reduced combined rate |
| Multiple vehicles | Two or more on the same route | Priced per vehicle, discounted |
Indicative 2026 ranges for a single passenger vehicle. Actual pricing depends on the vehicle size, the exact route and addresses, your dates, and whether the vehicle is running. The most cost-effective option by far is to move your vehicle together with your furniture on the same trip.
The main factors are the distance between collection and delivery, the size and type of vehicle, whether it is a runner or a non-runner (which affects loading), your dates, and how many vehicles travel together. Tell us the vehicle, the two towns and your timing and we will give you a firm, no-obligation quote, or price it in with your long-distance move.

When People Use Our Vehicle Transport
Vehicle transport comes up in all sorts of situations. These are the ones we handle most.
Relocating Long Distance
Moving cities and only have one driver? Send the second car with your furniture so the family travels together.
Bought or Sold a Car Online
Buying or selling between cities on the online marketplaces? We collect and deliver so neither party has to make the trip.
Students & Family
Getting a car to or from a university city, or to a family member in another province, without a long solo drive.
Seasonal & Holiday Homes
Sending a car down to the coast for the summer, or back to Gauteng afterwards, on our regular routes.
Dealers & Fleets
Dealer stock, auction buys and company fleet vehicles moved between branches and cities, several at a time.
Project & Spare Vehicles
A classic under restoration or a spare vehicle that needs to reach its new garage without adding kilometres.
Vehicle Transport Routes From Gauteng
We carry vehicles on the same scheduled long-distance routes we run for furniture, which means regular departures and competitive pricing. Popular routes from Gauteng include Durban and the KZN coast, Cape Town and the Western Cape, the Garden Route through George, East London and Gqeberha in the Eastern Cape, Bloemfontein in the Free State, Nelspruit and the Mpumalanga Lowveld, and Polokwane in Limpopo. We also run the return legs, so we can bring a vehicle back to Gauteng too. If your route is not listed, call us, we almost certainly cover it.

Vehicles travel secured on our enclosed, satellite-tracked trucks, handled by trained crews, not left with an unknown driver to clock up kilometres.
Nationwide Door-to-Door Routes

Vehicle Transport Done the Professional Way
Moving a vehicle is not just about getting it from A to B, it is about getting it there in the same condition it left. With Careful Movers your car, bakkie or bike travels on an enclosed, satellite-tracked truck, handled by a trained crew and covered by insurance in transit, with its condition recorded at both ends. You are not handing your keys to an unknown driver to add hundreds of kilometres to the odometer. And because we run these routes for furniture every week, you get regular departures, fair pricing and the option to move everything, your home and your vehicle, together on one booking.
Vehicle Transport FAQs
We transport cars, SUVs, 4x4s, bakkies, LDVs, panel vans, minibuses and motorcycles between the major centres in South Africa. We also move classic and project cars and, where loading access allows, non-running vehicles. For anything unusual or oversized, send us the details and we will confirm.
Yes, and it is the most popular and cost-effective way to use us. On a long-distance move we carry your vehicle alongside your household goods, so everything travels with one insured company on a single booking and arrives together.
As a guide, a single car on a short route (say Johannesburg to Bloemfontein) is roughly R2,000 to R4,000, a medium route like Johannesburg to Durban around R3,000 to R5,500, and a long route like Johannesburg to Cape Town about R4,500 to R8,000. Combining it with a furniture move reduces the rate. Give us the vehicle, route and dates for a firm quote.
Yes. Your vehicle is covered in transit. We complete a condition check at collection, note any existing marks, and confirm the same on delivery, so there is a clear record from door to door.
We move vehicles on our long-distance routes from Gauteng to Durban, Cape Town, the Garden Route, East London and Gqeberha, Bloemfontein, Nelspruit, Polokwane and other centres, plus the return legs back to Gauteng. Call us to confirm your specific route.
It depends on the route and the schedule. A shorter route like Johannesburg to Durban can be a day or two, while Johannesburg to Cape Town takes a little longer. If your vehicle is travelling with a furniture move, it follows the same timeline as the move. We confirm realistic timing when you book.
In many cases yes, but it depends on the vehicle and the collection point, since a non-runner needs the right loading access. Send us the details and we will confirm whether we can move it and how.
Keep the fuel low (around a quarter tank), remove loose items and valuables, note any existing marks, and have a set of keys ready for collection. We take care of the rest, including securing the vehicle for transport.
Call 087 550 5239, WhatsApp 067 010 3467 or send the form with the vehicle, the two towns and your dates. We will quote it, on its own or with your move, and schedule it onto the next run on that route.
