Airport Transfers
Private airport transportation from O.R. Tambo International Airport (JNB) to Sandton, Rosebank, central Johannesburg and addresses across Gauteng.
Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from O.R. Tambo International Airport to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.
After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.
Airport transportation in Johannesburg takes you from O.R. Tambo to hotels, guesthouses and offices in Sandton, Rosebank, Melrose and central Johannesburg, and to homes in the suburbs of Gauteng.
For Johannesburg airport transfers, your driver waits in the international arrivals hall of Terminal A, or the domestic arrivals hall of Terminal B, holding a name board as you come out of customs or baggage claim. We follow the flight on your reservation, so the pickup moves with a late landing.
Each Johannesburg airport transfer is booked for one vehicle, from a sedan for business travelers to a minivan for families and groups, and goes door to door to Sandton hotels, Rosebank guesthouses, offices and family homes.
Our Johannesburg airport shuttle is a private van for your party only: it leaves O.R. Tambo as soon as you are through arrivals and goes straight to your address, with no stops for other passengers. With room for suitcases and safari bags, it suits families, groups and business teams.

O.R. Tambo International Airport (JNB), formerly Jan Smuts and later Johannesburg International, is in Kempton Park, east of Johannesburg, and serves the whole of Gauteng. Terminal A handles international flights, including regional flights within Africa, and Terminal B handles domestic flights; a central building with the Gautrain station above it joins the two.
On an international flight you pass passport control in Terminal A, collect your bags and clear customs into the international arrivals hall. Domestic passengers collect their bags in Terminal B and come out into its own arrivals hall.
Johannesburg is on South African Standard Time (UTC+2) all year, with no daylight saving time.
Passport rules. Many visitors, including US, UK and Canadian citizens, enter South Africa visa-free for up to 90 days. Your passport must be valid for at least 30 days after you leave and have at least two blank pages. South Africa's online ETA is aimed at visa-required travelers and stays optional for visa-exempt visitors.
