One price for the whole trip
The airport to the City Bowl, for example, is R630 for a sedan with up to three passengers and their luggage. To Camps Bay it is R893, and to Stellenbosch R914.
The price is for the vehicle, not per person, and it is the same on a public holiday and in December. Pay by card in rand, and the price is the price.
There is no surcharge for a late flight or an early start, and no tolls on the way. A baby seat or a toddler seat is in the car if you ask for one when you book.
Where we drive, and what fixed meansGoing somewhere without a fixed price yet, or not to the airport at all? Tell us the trip and a person comes back with one fixed price for it.
