Moving Companies from Durban to Johannesburg

Biggles Removals moves households and offices from Durban to Johannesburg on either a dedicated truck, carrying your goods alone, or a shared load, where you pay only for the space your furniture uses. Both run on scheduled weekly departures, with unscheduled trucks available when timing is tight.

Every long-distance move includes support services such as expert packing, protective wrapping, disassembly and reassembly of furniture and appliances, and short- to long-term storage if your new home isn’t ready. Goods travel with free Goods-in-Transit (GIT) cover of up to R200K and/or All-Risk insurance.

The same service runs between all our major cities and provinces, including Johannesburg, Cape Town, Pretoria, Durban, Nelspruit, Port Elizabeth, East London, Mossel Bay, George and Knysna, and all towns in between.

Biggles Removals provides a well-managed shared-load moving service from Durban to Johannesburg, where your goods are shared with our other clients and therefore share the long-distance truck’s overhead costs. Our shared load removal services are specially managed, with your goods labelled, numbered, and inventoried whilst being packed securely and separately to ensure absolute travel safety. Our trained staff manage the process and clearly label each client, separating each from the next.

You will only pay for the space your furniture and items occupy, making it the sensible, budget-friendly choice for moving homes of all sizes from Durban to Johannesburg (from Large Homes to 1 Item). There will be some flexibility required as we are scheduling moves with multiple clients, but your dedicated consultant will coordinate, advise, and schedule to suit your requirements as best as possible. Professional wrapping, packing, and secure storage are all available to keep your relocation as stress-free as possible.

If you would like to know more about our shared load removal services, then please contact your consultant using any of the contact options below. If you want the whole truck to yourself, then enquire about our dedicated removal truck allocation, and we will work around your specific date and service criteria.

For a dedicated truck, ask your moving consultant for more on this service. A shared load on the Durban to Johannesburg corridor typically takes 3 to 7 days, because the truck makes other scheduled stops along the way. We confirm your delivery window with you in advance, before you book.

How Shared Load Removal Works:

Your final price depends on the volume of your inventory, the packing materials you use, and your preferred travel date (up to 25% cheaper for mid-month removals). Complete our free online inventory form, and we’ll send an exact quote within a few hours.

Let our moving experts handle your Durban to Johannesburg move from start to finish. Tell us what needs to travel and we come back with a clear, no-obligation price, usually the same day. Wrapping, careful loading and free goods-in-transit cover to R200,000 are all included.

Johannesburg is South Africa’s economic engine, and it is the most common destination for households leaving Durban and the KwaZulu-Natal coast. Most moves we run on this corridor are driven by work, a promotion, a head-office transfer, or a first role in Gauteng.

Gauteng’s Job Market

Johannesburg and the wider Gauteng metro hold the head offices of most of South Africa’s largest banks, mining houses, insurers and listed corporates. For many Durban families the move is a career step rather than a lifestyle choice, and it usually comes with a start date attached, which is why we run scheduled weekly departures on this route rather than waiting for a truck to fill.

Where Durban Families Settle

Our Durban clients most often move into the northern suburbs: Sandton, Bryanston, Fourways, Midrand, Randburg and Rivonia, for access to the business districts, schools and the Gautrain. We collect from across Durban, Umhlanga, Ballito, Westville and the South Coast, and deliver anywhere in the Johannesburg metro.

What a Move from Durban to Johannesburg Costs

A shared load starts from R3,500 for a studio or single room and runs to around R17,000 for a full four-bedroom household. You pay only for the space your furniture occupies, and mid-month dates are the cheapest. Complete our free inventory form for an exact quote on your own volume and dates.

Missing the Coast?

We run the reverse route every week too. If work or family ever takes you back to KwaZulu-Natal, the same insured weekly shared loads and dedicated trucks run from Johannesburg to Durban.
