Moving Companies from Johannesburg to Cape Town

Biggles Removals operates a weekly furniture removal service from Johannesburg to Cape Town, built around our specialised shared-load system that lets you move a load of any size while paying only for the space your goods actually use on the truck. Whether you’re relocating a single bedroom, a full family home, or an office, your belongings travel on our scheduled long-distance trucks, fully enclosed, professionally packed, blanket-wrapped, and strapped. Free Goods in Transit insurance of up to R200K while your goods are in the truck.

Backed by professional moving services such as packing, protective wrapping, dismantling and reassembly, hoisting, secure storage, and a dedicated move coordinator who stays with you from start to finish, every step is walked with you to deliver a safe, secure, and genuinely stress-free move at a very affordable moving price.

The Johannesburg to Cape Town route covers approximately 1,400 km via the N1, and your moving consultant will confirm timing for a dedicated truck. Shared loads depart on a fixed weekly schedule; we confirm your departure slot and any collection stops in advance.
Biggles is also among South Africa’s most experienced long distance moving companies, with weekly departures covering every major intercity route nationwide.

How far is it from Johannesburg to Cape Town?

Johannesburg to Cape Town is roughly 1,400 km by road, a truck drive of approximately 16 to 19 hours, depending on roadworks, weather and roadside load checks down the N1 through the Free State and the Karoo. Our shared-load trucks run this route every week, and dedicated moves can be arranged at short notice.

Biggles Removals moves households and offices from Johannesburg to Cape Town 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 Johannesburg to Cape Town, 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 Johannesburg to Cape Town (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 Johannesburg to Cape Town corridor typically takes 3–8 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 all your moving requirements from start to finish.
