Cape Town to Johannesburg
The longest corridor in the country. The one that goes wrong most.
1,400 km is a long way to trust a stranger with your furniture. Your truck is out of sight for days, and by the time anything goes wrong it is 14 hours away. That is exactly why this route is where MoveSure focuses.
We do not own trucks. We vet the carriers who do — CIPC registration, goods-in-transit insurance certificate, roadworthy check, two phoned references and a monitored trial move — and we hold your money until your furniture is in your new home.
Dedicated truck or shared load
Dedicated. Your furniture alone on the truck, on your dates. Fastest, most controlled, best for full family homes and fixed lease dates.
Shared load. You share truck space with another customer heading the same way. Slower, meaningfully cheaper, and ideal if your dates are flexible.
What is included
- Truck, fuel, tolls and VAT in one written price
- Loading crew in Cape Town, offloading crew in Johannesburg
- Blanket-wrapping and in-transit protection
- Goods-in-transit insurance, verified before the truck is loaded
- WhatsApp tracking and an arrival window on delivery day

Before you ask
Questions, answered
How much does a move from Cape Town to Johannesburg cost?
It depends on your volume, your dates and access at both ends — so we do not publish a guess. Send us your inventory (or scan your home with your phone) and you get a fixed, all-inclusive price in writing on WhatsApp within 2 working hours.
How long does the Cape Town to Johannesburg move take?
Typically 2 to 4 days door to door on a dedicated truck. Shared loads take longer because the truck consolidates several customers on the same corridor. You get a delivery window in writing before you book.
Can I save money with a shared load?
Yes. On a 1,400 km corridor, sharing truck space with another customer moving the same way can cut the price meaningfully. Flexible dates unlock the best shared-load savings — tick the flexible box on the form.
Are my goods insured for the whole trip?
We verify every carrier goods-in-transit insurance certificate before they carry a MoveSure job, and confirm it is current before your move. All-risk upgrades are available on request.
Can you transport my car on the same route?
Yes — we broker door-to-door vehicle transport on this corridor and it can often travel alongside your household move.
How far in advance should I book?
Two weeks ahead is ideal on this corridor, and more over month-end and school holidays. Short-notice moves are often possible — ask, and we will tell you honestly.
