Transfer Drive

A transfer drive is a point-to-point journey between a starting point and a destination, without any stops or detours en route. Transfers are often used as an alternative to taxis when commuting between accommodation and airports, as they offer a dedicated airport transfer service at a reasonable price. Although commonly associated with journeying to an airport, transfer services are available as a means of commute between any two points in a town or city. A transfer service is charged by the journey or distance covered.  Read more about our Drive South Africa Transfer Service.

By engaging a chauffeur drive you are able to dictate your route, including collection points and destinations for the time you hire the chauffeur service.

Meetings, conferences or client visits are often subject to indefinite time frames, a chauffeur drive allows you to alter or amend your schedule according to demands as they arise.
