Bakkie hire with driver in Pretoria

Pretoria bakkie hire skews toward trade and DIY collections: Silverton and Rosslyn suppliers, Wonderboom trade counters, and building material heading out to Moreleta Park or Montana. Because the driver comes with the vehicle, there is no deposit to put down and no tank to refill, and the quote is fixed on distance and vehicle class before anyone moves.

Pretoria and the wider Tshwane area are core SHIMI territory. Whether you are collecting from a store in Centurion, moving a flat in Hatfield or dropping an appliance in Montana, the run is priced at the Gauteng rate on distance alone. Same-day dispatch is the norm for local Pretoria bookings, with a driver who helps load and offload at both ends.

Need a bakkie and a driver in Pretoria without the self-drive rental, deposit or fuel? SHIMI pairs the vehicle with a driver who does the lifting, for once-off loads a car can't take. You describe the load, we suggest the smallest vehicle that fits, and the driver helps load and offload at both ends. The price is fixed upfront from the distance and vehicle class, so a run in Pretoria costs exactly what the quote says. Book online in a couple of minutes, follow the trip on a live link, and get a timestamped photo when it's placed.

Getting to your door in Pretoria

The part most quotes ignore, and the part that decides how long the job takes.

Pretoria splits into two access problems. East of the N1, the golf and security estates want the driver pre-cleared at the gate, which is a phone call, not a delay, if you give us the contact when you book. Closer in, Hatfield and Sunnyside are walk-up territory with tight street parking, so stair carrying is worth adding at the quote step rather than negotiating on the pavement.

Where we collect from in Pretoria

  • Wonderboom and Silverton trade counters

What's included

Driver included, no self-drive

You are not behind the wheel and you are not lifting alone. The driver handles the trip and helps load and offload.

No deposit, no fuel bill

The upfront quote covers the run. There is no rental deposit to put down and no tank to refill afterwards.

Pick your size

A half-ton bakkie for lighter loads, a 1.5-ton truck when there is more to move. Not sure? Describe the load and we suggest the right one.

Bakkie hire with driver questions

Yes, Pretoria is core SHIMI coverage. We collect and deliver across Centurion, Hatfield, Menlyn, Brooklyn and the surrounding areas at the Gauteng rate, with same-day dispatch on most local bookings.

The building usually decides, not the load. Describe what you are moving and the address when you book, and we suggest the smallest vehicle that can actually reach the door — the access notes for Pretoria are on this page.

No. A driver comes with the vehicle. You do not drive it yourself, you do not need a deposit or a licence for the vehicle class, and the driver helps load and offload your goods.

The price is calculated from the distance and the vehicle class, with loading help included, and shown to you upfront before you book. Enter your pickup and drop-off to get an exact quote in seconds.

A half-ton bakkie handles a few boxes, a single appliance or small furniture (up to about 500 kg). For a bigger load (a lounge suite or a fridge and washer together), a 1.5-ton truck is the better fit. We right-size it for you when you describe the load.
