Cape Town airport transfers at any hour

We collect from and drop off at Cape Town International, for one traveller or a full coach. We track your flight, send your driver's name and number before the trip, and can meet you inside the arrivals hall.

We run transfers between Cape Town International and wherever you're staying, in both directions and at any hour.

It might be one person on the first flight out, a family landing late at night or a tour group of fifty and all their luggage. We have 17 licensed vehicles, from a BMW X3 up to a 52 seat coach, so we can match the vehicle to the size of your group and how much you're carrying.

Our drivers are local. They know Cape Town and the roads out of it, which counts when you're getting through traffic to catch a flight, or heading out to the Winelands straight after a long one.

We don't publish a price list. The price depends on the vehicle, the distance and the time of day, so we quote every transfer and tell you which vehicle we'd send.

Flights run late. We track yours, so your driver works to the time your plane lands.

Who it's for

Visitors and families landing in Cape Town

After a long flight you want to get to where you're staying. We pick a vehicle with room for everyone and their bags. Families often book the Staria: nine people fit with their luggage, and the sliding doors make it easy for children and older passengers to get in and out.

Business travellers and company bookings

For one to three people we can send our 2026 BMW X3 M50. It has leather seats, a quiet cabin and room in the boot for a couple of large suitcases. Companies can book corporate transfers too, for visiting staff or conference delegates.

Groups landing on the same flight

Tour groups, sports teams with their kit, school and church groups. The 38 seater Yutong does airport runs when a whole group lands together, and the 52 seat Irizar coach has a luggage hold underneath. When there are more bags than space, we can bring a trailer. We also run four Coasters, so a big group can travel in separate buses on the same day.

Hotels, tour operators and travel agents

We do hotel transfers for guests arriving and leaving. Tour operators can use us as a subcontractor when they need extra vehicles, and accredited agents and guides can hire the Staria, a Quantum or a sedan to drive themselves. Email admin@capricorntours.co.za for trade rates.

How booking works

Every booking: we quote, a deposit holds the date, and you get your driver's name and number before the trip.

  1. Send your flight number and bag count

    The date, your flight number and landing time, how many people are travelling, and the pickup and drop off. Give us a rough bag count, and mention a wheelchair or sports equipment, because both change the vehicle.

  2. We track the flight

    Your driver works to the real landing time, not the one on the ticket. If the flight is cancelled or moved to another day, call 060 974 0733 as soon as you know so we can arrange a new pickup.

  3. Met in arrivals, or one call away

    With meet and greet, your driver waits for you inside the arrivals hall. Without it, call the number we sent once you have your bags and the driver will tell you where to find the vehicle.

  4. The run back to departures

    Send your flight home with the arrival and we quote both legs together. Give us the flight time and we'll suggest when to leave, allowing for weekday rush hour between town and the airport.

What's included

Every booking is quoted on its own. This is what comes with it.

  • Flight tracking

    Every airport booking is tracked. If your flight lands late, your driver already knows.

  • Meet and greet in arrivals

    Ask for it and your driver meets you inside the arrivals hall. It helps on a first visit to Cape Town, and with a group that needs rounding up before everyone walks out to the vehicle.

  • Early mornings and late nights

    A pickup before sunrise is a normal booking for us, and so is a late arrival. Our 24 hour line is 060 974 0733.

  • A luggage trailer for bigger groups

    For bigger groups we can bring a trailer. Give us a rough bag count when you ask for a quote so we can plan for it.

  • A local driver in uniform

    Our drivers know Cape Town and work in uniform, which helps when you're looking for them in a busy arrivals hall.

Good to know

A few things that make the booking go smoothly.

  • Book as early as you can for big groups and for December to February.
  • For a transfer today or tomorrow, call 081 741 6700 rather than emailing. We take last minute bookings when a vehicle and driver are free.
  • Traffic between town and the airport can be slow at weekday rush hour. For a departure, give us your flight time and we'll suggest when to leave.
  • If your flight, date or group size changes after you book, tell us straight away so the vehicle still fits the trip.

Questions about airport transfers

Not answered here? Call 081 741 6700 or send us a WhatsApp.

What happens if my flight is delayed?

We track the flight, so your driver sees the delay before you land and works to the new arrival time. If the flight is cancelled or moved to another day, call 060 974 0733 as soon as you know so we can arrange a new pickup.

Where do we meet the driver?

You get the driver's name and number before the trip. With meet and greet, they wait for you inside the arrivals hall. Without it, call or message the driver once you have your bags and they'll tell you where to find the vehicle.

Do you do drop offs at the airport as well?

Yes, we drive in both directions, and early morning departures are normal work for us. Send the flight time, the number of people and where we're collecting you, and we'll quote the trip and suggest a pickup time.

How much luggage can we bring?

It depends on the vehicle. The BMW takes a couple of large suitcases, the Staria fits nine people with their luggage, the Quantum has luggage space at the back and the 52 seat Irizar has a hold underneath. For bigger groups we can bring a trailer. Tell us your bag count when you ask for a quote.

How much does an airport transfer cost?

We quote every trip, because the price depends on the vehicle, the distance and the time of day. Send the date, flight time, group size, pickup and drop off, and we'll come back with a price.

Can you help a passenger who uses a wheelchair?

Mention it when you ask for a quote, with the type of chair and whether the passenger can move into a seat. We'll check it against our vehicles before we quote.

Can you take us from the airport straight to Stellenbosch, Hermanus or the Garden Route?

Yes. We cover the whole Western Cape, including the Winelands and the Garden Route, and can arrange longer trips across South Africa. We quote it the same way as a transfer into town.

Can I book the transfer and a tour together?

Yes. Send your arrival date, the tours you'd like and your flight home in one message and we'll quote it all together. We run Peninsula, Winelands, City, Aquila and Whale Coast tours, or we can plan a route of your own.

Tell us when you land

Send the date, your flight number, how many people are travelling and where you're going. We'll reply with a quote and the vehicle we'd suggest. For a pickup today or tomorrow, call 081 741 6700.
