Thanks to Sue and the team. My move went smoothly, nothing was damaged, and the crew were polite and well organised all day. Moving house is usually stressful — this wasn't. I would definitely recommend them and use them again.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to move your home in Cape Town?

The cost of a local home move in Cape Town comes down to three main things: the size of your move, how long the job takes, and the travel distance between your old and new home. On a local move the price is mostly based on the number of movers needed, the hours on the job, and the drive time between addresses, with extras like stairs, tricky access, packing or short-term storage adding to it. The good news is there are easy ways to keep costs down — our cost-saving mini/small-load option for lighter moves, packing some boxes yourself, and a little flexibility on your moving day. For a quick idea of pricing, see the price-guide table above, then request your free, no-obligation quote for an accurate figure based on your inventory. More on our house removals page.

How do I get a removal quote, and how fast can I get one?

Getting a quote is quick, free and no-obligation — request one online and we aim to have your estimate back to you within 24 hours. You can start your online moving quote, use our contact form, or email and call us directly. For local moves in and around the Western Cape, reach our local team on 061 418 7093 (local@caperemovals.co.za); for national and long-distance moves, call 061 421 1011 (info@caperemovals.co.za). Our trading hours are Monday to Friday 7h45–17h00 and Saturday 08h00–12h00. The easiest way to start is a quick home or office inventory — which you can complete online — so your dedicated consultant can size up your move and give you an accurate price, then guide you through every step to delivery day.

How much does it cost to move from Cape Town to Johannesburg?

The cost of a Cape Town to Johannesburg move depends mainly on how much space your furniture takes up in the truck and whether you choose our shared-load or a dedicated service. With our weekly shared-load service you pay only for the space your goods occupy — and only one way — which makes it our most affordable option on this route, with mini loads starting from around R2,200. A dedicated load (the whole truck to yourself) costs more but gives you a tighter schedule. For a guide to typical prices by move size, see the price-guide table above, then request a free quote for an exact figure based on your inventory. See our Cape Town to Johannesburg page.

How much do moving companies charge for long distances in South Africa?

Long-distance moving prices in South Africa are usually worked out on three things: the volume of furniture you’re moving, the distance between the cities, and whether you share a truck or hire one exclusively. The single biggest cost-saver is a shared load — you pay only for the space you use and split the trip with other clients heading the same way, instead of paying for an entire truck one way. At Cape Removals, shared loads start from around R2,200 and scale with the size of your move and the distance, and our weekly national schedule keeps pricing competitive. For a guide to typical prices, see the price-guide table above, or get a free quote for your exact move. More on our province-to-province pricing page.

What is the cheapest company for moving?

The “cheapest” mover really depends on your type of move — but the most reliable way to cut long-distance costs is to share a truck and pay only for the space you use, which is exactly what our shared-load service is built for. It’s worth remembering that the lowest price isn’t always the best value: a genuinely good move also includes free Goods-in-Transit cover, careful handling, your own dedicated consultant, and a strong track record of happy customers. Cape Removals is built around affordability — our shared-load and mini-move models, plus the option to pack some boxes yourself, let you keep costs down without cutting corners on care. Compare us honestly: check our authentic reviews, then get a free quote. Explore our cost-saving shared-load service.

Is my removal insured, and what are my insurance options?

Yes — every move includes free Goods-in-Transit cover up to R250,000, and you can add optional All Risk Insurance for fuller protection on higher-value or fragile goods. We take great pride in our careful handling and have a very low incidence rate, but moving is a high-risk activity, so for complete peace of mind we recommend All Risk cover. As a guide, All Risk Insurance is calculated at 3.5% of the declared value of your goods plus VAT (roughly R4,025 per R100,000 of cover), and requires protective wrapping of all furniture. Your dedicated consultant will talk you through the options and help you choose what suits your move. See our moving insurance page.

What happens if my furniture is damaged?

In the rare event that something is damaged, your dedicated consultant will guide you through a straightforward claim, covered either by your free Goods-in-Transit cover or by optional All Risk Insurance if you’ve taken it. We work hard to prevent this — our teams wrap and protect your furniture, we have a very low incidence rate, and protective wrapping is built into our process. If you’ve taken All Risk Insurance, Cape Removals covers the claim fee and your consultant liaises directly with the insurer on your behalf to keep things painless. If you haven’t taken All Risk Insurance, we’ll still do our best to have the item repaired or replaced for you at no cost — it depends on the circumstances, but we’ll always do our best to take responsibility. All we ask is that you opt for protective wrapping on high-value items. See our moving insurance page for full details.

Do you disassemble and reassemble my furniture?

Yes — our experienced teams disassemble larger furniture and appliances where needed before loading, then reassemble them in your new home. Beds, wardrobes, tables and similar items are taken apart safely, wrapped and protected for transit, and put back together on arrival so you can settle in with the least fuss. Unfortunately these services do absorb time and can require specific tools, so disassembly and reassembly is an optional extra that your consultant will quote for. Learn more on our house removals page.

Do you move long distances from Cape Town to other South African cities?

Yes — we run a weekly long-distance service from Cape Town to every major South African city, including Johannesburg, Pretoria, Durban, Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth), Bloemfontein, East London, Nelspruit and the Garden Route. Our national infrastructure and consistent weekly schedule mean we can move anything from a few items to a full home, and our shared-load option keeps long-distance moves affordable by letting you pay only for the space you use. Wherever you’re headed in South Africa, your dedicated consultant will tailor the service to suit you. See all routes on our long-distance removals page.

How far in advance should I book my move?

We recommend booking as early as you can, so we can give you the best choice of dates and plan the most efficient, affordable route for your move. There’s no strict cut-off time: our scheduled long-distance truck to Johannesburg departs weekly (generally on a Friday), and we sometimes have an additional unscheduled truck available too, depending on demand. The bottom line is that we’ll always do our best to accommodate your dates — so speak to your consultant as early as you can and we’ll make it work. Request your quote and preferred date to get started.

Do you do small and mini moves — even just a few items or one room?

Absolutely — small and mini moves are one of our specialities, whether it’s a single room, a handful of items, a flat or a bachelor apartment. Our Cape Town Mini Movers run small-load removals across the Western Cape daily, using compact trucks and friendly two-to-four-person teams for a quick, cost-effective service. For longer distances, our national shared-load network carries mini moves all over South Africa, so even a small load can travel far without costing the earth. It’s the ideal option when a full-size removal would be more than you need. See our mini removals page.

Do I pay for a whole truck or only the space I use?

With our shared-load service you pay only for the space your furniture takes up in the truck — and only one way — which is exactly what makes our long-distance moves so affordable. We pool loads from clients heading in the same direction, so you’re not paying for an empty truck or a return trip you don’t need. If you’d prefer the whole truck to yourself for a tighter schedule, we offer dedicated loads too — your consultant will help you choose what fits your budget and timing. Learn how it works on our national shared-load page.

How long does a long-distance move from Cape Town take to be delivered?

Delivery time depends on your route and whether you choose a shared or dedicated load. As a guide for shared loads from Cape Town, Johannesburg is typically 3 to 9 days, Durban 5 to 12 days, and Nelspruit 7 to 12 days. Here’s why it’s a window rather than a single day: our scheduled Johannesburg truck, for example, leaves on a Friday and begins delivering from the Monday — so if you’re lucky enough to be last on and first off, you could be unpacked in around 3 days, while loads further along the route take a little longer. If your move-in date doesn’t line up neatly, we can provide short-term storage to help bridge the gap. A dedicated load (the whole truck to yourself) is quicker and can be scheduled to a tighter window, and your consultant will confirm timing for your route when you book. More on our shared-load page.

What areas of Cape Town and the Western Cape do you cover?

We cover the whole of the Western Cape — from the Northern and Southern Suburbs to the South Peninsula, Cape Winelands, West Coast, Helderberg, Overberg and Garden Route — with local teams based across the province. That includes suburbs and towns like Bellville, Durbanville, Brackenfell, Century City, Table View, Milnerton, Claremont, Wynberg, Hout Bay, Fish Hoek, Muizenberg, Somerset West, Strand, Stellenbosch, Paarl, Wellington, Worcester, Langebaan, Saldanha and many more. Because our teams are based locally, you get a faster, more personal service near you — and we connect every area to our national network for long-distance moves. Find your area on our moving companies page.

Do you provide packing, boxes, and packing materials?

Yes — we offer full packing services, and we also sell quality packing materials for self-packers, including moving boxes, bubble wrap, packing paper, buff tape, cling wrap and mattress bags. If you’d like to save a little, you can pack some boxes yourself and we’ll supply everything you need; if you’d rather leave it to us, our skilled packers will wrap and box your belongings safely for transit. We even recommend our sturdy used boxes — they’re in good condition and often stronger than new ones — and your consultant will advise how many you’ll need. Browse options on our packaging materials page.
