Motorvia Weswood Park is one of the best car couriers not only in Johannesburg but also in the country. In its years of service, it has transported tens of thousands of cars not only within the country but also to neighbouring ones, too.

Most of its fleet is for open car transport but it also has specialty vehicles for transporting high-end cars such as racing cars, sports cars, and those for car shows, exhibits, and launches. 

And to fully offer flexibility, Motorvia also allows its clients to choose between door-to-door deliveries and other customised trips. That’s why we gave it a perfect score for the convenience of shipping. 

Customers can also easily specify their needs as this auto carrier has online quotation forms. All you need to do is supply your basic information and choose a source and destination. 

Motorvia is also worthy of being called secure as it is licensed and registered for vehicle handling. It’s even proactive in the way that it has anti-hijacking units dispersed throughout its routes, thus giving its customers peace of mind. 

All these have been perfected as the vehicle transportation company has been in the industry for more than 50 years. 

So, if you believe that the best car shipping in Johannesburg can only be achieved through years of experience, then Motorvia Weswood Park should be at the top of your list. 

However, if you value communications and transparency then you may have a bit of a problem with this one. We say this because it doesn’t have its policies posted online for convenience. 

While located in Kempton Park, Intercity Auto Movers (IAM) is still among our top picks for the best shipping in Johannesburg because of its many advantages. 

First of all, Intercity Auto Movers delivers country-wide. So, you may want to get your car from Pretoria up to Cape Town, and Intercity Auto Movers will still help you out.

And to make its routes even more inclusive, IAM also offers door-to-door deliveries of cars. It is for these reasons that we gave the vehicle shipping company a perfect score for routes and destinations.

Its inclusivity also extends to the types of cars it accommodates. We commend IAM for catering to any vehicle, from salvage and repossessed cars to caravans, student cars, and even race cars.

Intercity Auto Movers also does car dealership support services like fleet sales and transportation, VIP handover, repatriation, and trade-in assists. IAM can thus truly move everything—from vintage to brand new.

Do know that it only does open transportation, so if you want closed transportation then they may not be the best choice.

The next reason why we added IAM to the list is that it offers end-to-end insurance for the vehicles it transports.

Lastly, we like that IAM has comprehensive online forms, so that it can give as transparent and accurate a quote to its customers.

There are a few things we’ve found troublesome. For example, it requires full payment first before picking up cars and has fees for sudden cancellations and even for delays during pick-up. 

The good thing is that all these terms and conditions are on IAM’s website for your reference.

Now, if you want the best car shipping in Johannesburg that doesn’t require breaking the bank, then Mr Cheap Transport may be a good choice. While it isn’t exactly a car shipping company, we still believe it can give the best kind of service.

This company operates by connecting you with auto shipping companies. While it doesn’t offer service guarantees as it’s only a broker, Mr Cheap still guarantees that the vehicles are to be shipped only by PMA and AMOSA credited carriers. 

With its numerous partners, Mr Cheap offers diverse routes, from Polokwana down to Cape Town.

Aside from its usual routes, Mr Cheap Transport also offers convenient door-to-door shipping. We also like that this type of service is available for individuals and corporate clients alike, so you can trust it for individual cars as well as for fleet vehicles.

Besides offering the best car shipping in Johannesburg, Mr Cheap also offers furniture moving. This way, customers who are moving everything, from cabinets and pianos to their vehicles, can contact Mr Cheap Transport for all their moving needs.

Its furniture moving even comes with insurance, just like its car shipping services.

We also like that it has detailed online quotation forms. So, if you want to begin your journey with Mr Cheap Transport, you need only visit its website and provide your contact details, and details of the move like date, origin, and destination.

Another great thing is that among the best car shipping companies, Mr Cheap has the closest office to Johannesburg. Unfortunately, Mr Cheap Transport is only open four days a week, only on weekdays excluding Wednesdays.

Open Road Carriers can transport sedans, minibuses, project vehicles, and sports cars. It can even transport non-runners and un-roadworthy vehicles like salvage cars.

Its routes also span the entire country, giving its clients various options. These are already pretty standard, which is why we were impressed by some of Open Road Carrier’s other features and guarantees.

First of all, Open Road Carriers have among the most detailed quotation forms, thus ensuring that it provides bespoke services to each client and car. We say this because its forms also ask for the car’s make and model of car as well as extra fittings it may have.

Other details you’d need to supply are the pick-up date, desired delivery date, origin, and destination.

The second reason why we believe Open Road Carriers can provide the best car shipping in Johannesburg is that it does full inspections upon collection and delivery. We like this because it shows how accountable the company is.

Lastly, we appreciate how Open Road Carriers ensures the safety and security of your cars during transport. It achieves safe transport by applying 24-hour satellite tracking and monitoring on all cars it transports.

Moreover, Open Road Carriers gives its customers peace of mind by providing insurance coverage for its transported cars.

However, you should know that Open Road Carriers requires full payment at least 48 hours before the booked date. It also has strict drop-off scheduling and cancellation policies. 

Luckily, all these policies can be found on its website’s terms and conditions page, so you can check those before finalizing your deal with Open Road Carriers.

Autofreight is yet another company that offers car shipping to and from anywhere in South Africa. It can move any vehicle, from motorbikes to cars and minivans.

The thing we like the most about Autofreight is that it offers a wide range of options to its clients. Whether you want, door-to-door car deliveries, door-to-depot, depot-to-door, or depot-to-depot services, you can certainly call Autofreight for assistance.

And to truly deliver the best car shipping in Johannesburg, Autofreight also accepts special requests. All of these options are made possible by Autofreight’s numerous transportation partners.

That said, you should also know that Autofreight is more like a transport broker, which means that its insurances and guarantees depend on its partner’s policies. Do know that it also has its own fleet trucks travelling—albeit at more limited schedules and routes.

So, you can still contact this auto mover if you need help transporting fleet vehicles, vintage and collector cars, and sports cars as it has closed carriers for maximum safety and security. Autofreight even accommodates dealership transfers.

But what really stood out about Autofreight is that its online quotation form is comprehensive as it asks up to the minutest details like type, model, and make of your vehicle. We believe this is helpful as it gives Autofreight a better insight into what your car may need.

However, if you want a car shipping company that’s close enough to the city to cater to your concerns face-to-face, then you may have to find another one. That’s because Autofreight’s office is located as far as  Pretoria.
