Bakkie hire with driver in Sandton

Sandton, from the CBD around the Gautrain station out to Bryanston, Morningside and Rivonia, is one of our highest-volume pickup and delivery areas. Apartment and estate moves, showroom furniture collections and appliance deliveries into complexes are daily work here. The driver handles access, loading and offloading, and you track the whole trip on a live link.

Need a bakkie and a driver in Sandton 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 Sandton costs exactly what the quote says.

Because Sandton 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.
