Bakkie hire with driver in Pretoria
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 (a half-ton bakkie, a 1.5-ton truck or a 4-ton truck), 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.
Because Pretoria sits in Gauteng, there's no rest-of-country premium on local trips, so you pay the base rate on distance. Book online in a couple of minutes: enter pickup and drop-off, get your quote, choose a window and pay by card. You'll follow the delivery on a live tracking link and get a timestamped photo when it's placed.
