Does anyone know any door to depot or door to door vehicle freight companies? I'd have preferred to have it delivered via Shosholoza Meyl but I can't be in Joburg to load it on the train. I'm considering buying an auction vehicle in Joburg but I don't have anyone to take it to the depot for me in order to have it delivered to Cape Town - the timing is an inconvenience.
Driving down is not an option :)

10%. Unless it is a R20k+ saving then it will make little sense transporting it between the cities, all costs considered.

No he made it to Jhb and back to Cpt with the aircon on. One of the reasons why it is legendary, he didn't need some transport service...

Yes, that's the kind of saving I'm looking at (vs. CPT auctioneers not retailers) less courier costs.

I transported a car from Cape Town to Johannesburg in November last year with Shoshaloza (excuse spelling) and they quite a good job. Bit delayed for the arrival of the car, but I got it.

Cost was R3500, which I personally think wasn't too bad. Supposed to take 24hrs for delivery

Thanks Craig, did they pick up the car from your location of choice?
