How long does the Sandton to OR Tambo drive take?

Under normal traffic conditions via the N1 Ben Schoeman Highway, the drive from Sandton to OR Tambo International Airport takes approximately 30-40 minutes. During peak traffic hours, this can extend to 60-75 minutes, which is why we recommend booking with an appropriate buffer and rely on real-time flight and traffic tracking for departures and arrivals.

Do you offer cross-border or SADC executive transport?

Yes, in addition to Sandton to OR Tambo transfers, we provide cross-border VIP transport services across the SADC region for executive and corporate clients requiring secure, discreet ground transportation beyond South Africa.

Can PR agencies book production crew transport in Gauteng?

Yes, we work directly with PR agencies and production companies to coordinate group and crew transport logistics across Gauteng, including larger vehicle options like our VW Crafter 35 and Toyota Quantum for equipment and crew alongside VIP transfers for talent and executives.

Is the fixed rate the same for all distances?

Yes, for all standard Sandton to OR Tambo transfers our fixed-rate zone pricing applies with no per-kilometre charges. A per-kilometre rate only applies to travel distances beyond 100km, which covers longer-distance transfers outside the standard Sandton–OR Tambo route rather than typical local business or airport bookings.

Which areas of Gauteng do you operate in?

We operate primarily across Sandton CBD, Bryanston, Morningside, Rosebank, Melrose Arch, Randburg, Midrand, Norwood, Fourways, Rivonia, and Hyde Park, with extended coverage into Pretoria and wider Gauteng, including cross-border VIP transport into the SADC region.

Do you charge per kilometre or a fixed rate?

We use a fixed-rate zone system for all standard airport and point-to-point bookings, with no per-kilometre charges within Gauteng. A per-kilometre rate only applies to travel distances beyond 100km. We also offer hourly chauffeur disposal at R480 per hour and full-day charters from 09:00 AM to 16:00 PM.

Can you handle multi-vehicle bookings for PR or production crews?

Yes, we regularly coordinate multi-vehicle logistics for PR agencies and film production crews, combining our VW Crafter 35, Hyundai Staria, and Toyota Quantum for crew and equipment transport alongside Mercedes-Benz E-Class and V-Class executive vehicles for talent or senior staff.

The Traffic / On-Time Guarantee & Professional Drivers

Our Sandton to O.R. Tambo Transfers are Built for executives

On-Time Guarantee: Beating Sandton’s N1/M1 Peak Traffic

Timing on this route is not guesswork — it’s local knowledge. Our chauffeurs know the Sandton to OR Tambo corridor down to the minute, from the Grayston Drive on-ramp onto the M1 through to the merge with the N1 Ben Schoeman Highway heading east. Outside of peak hours, the route typically takes 30–40 minutes; during the morning and afternoon traffic windows, particularly around the Buccleuch Interchange, that same drive can stretch to 60–75 minutes. Rather than working off a generic estimate, we build your pickup time around live traffic conditions and your actual flight status — so an early-morning departure from a Katherine Street office or a late-night arrival back into Sandton is handled with the same precision.

Professional, Vetted Chauffeurs for Business & VIP Travel

Every chauffeur on our team is selected and briefed for corporate and VIP standards, not just general driving competence. That means a pressed appearance, a silent professionalism in the vehicle, and the discretion to let an executive take a call, review a deck, or simply sit in silence without interruption. Our drivers are vetted, familiar with both Terminal A (International) and Terminal B (Domestic) access at OR Tambo, and trained to manage the small details — luggage, signage for unfamiliar guests, and seamless handovers with PAs or office reception.

Booking & Corporate Billing Works

How Airport Transfer Booking Works

Corporate Account & Invoice Billing

Businesses and PR agencies that book transfers regularly can set up a corporate account with us, moving away from per-trip card payments entirely. Once an account is active, transfers can be requested by a PA or office administrator, billed monthly against a single consolidated invoice, and reconciled against cost centres.

Flight Tracking & Meet-and-Greet at OR Tambo (Terminal A & Terminal B)

Every transfer is tied to your actual flight number, not a fixed clock time. On arrivals, our chauffeurs track your flight in real time and adjust pickup timing automatically for early or delayed landings, meeting you with a name board at either Terminal A (International) or Terminal B (Domestic) as required.
