    Friendly and professional service 5 out of 5!
    Wonderful professional service from start to finish! Smooth booking with Terri. Punctuate pick up by Marinda from the airport and by Iain from the safari lodge with clean spacious minivan. Both Marinda and Iain are so lovely and made the 6 hour drive an enjoyable trip. Ian shared many interesting insights of South Africa, we are fortunate to have him with us for the last part of our South Africa trip. Thank you Shuttle King team!

    Great service from Shuttleking
    I can highly recommend Shuttleking and especially Kevin who was my driver on a 4hr trip from J’burg to Madikwe and then the return journey. The whole experience was seamless from the booking to the journey itself. Kevin was punctual, courteous and his sole aim was to ensure my comfort during the ride, making sure I had everything I needed, that I was comfortable and offered comfort breaks etc. His vehicle was also spotless. Thank you Kevin.

    Very impressed
    Our original plan was to fly to Hoedspruit from JNB. However courtesy of a 16 hour flight delay on BA, that went out of the window and we needed an overland transfer. I chose Shuttle King based on their reviews and was hugely impressed by them. At very short notice, Terri was very responsive and arranged the transfer and Arnold, who drove us for the 6 hour journey was great - thank you to both. We would use Shuttle King again without hesitation.

    Can't speak highly enough
    As a woman travelling on my own I was very happy with Shuttle King's service. I was picked up at OR Tambo and driven to Pilansberg. The driver, Arnold, was polite, punctual and respectful and he drove very well. We hit a major hail storm on our way and Arnold quickly found us shelter. Despite considerable damage to the car I was dropped off safely and happily. I can't speak highly enough of Shuttle King's professionalism.

    Excellent service!
    Used Shuttle King for a few airport transfers in Johannesburg. Excellent and easy to make the various bookings with Terri. The drivers were Wilton and Michael - they are both so so incredibly lovely. Awesome to chat with them n they are excellent, experienced drivers. Very calm on Jozi roads - handling traffic congestion and road blocks with such ease.

    Glad I hired Shuttle King!
    Five star service. My driver, Marinda, was prompt, courteous, and friendly, not to mention also a great driver. She greeted me at the airport and made sure I had everything I needed before our ~5 hour drive from JNB to Alldays. She was prepared with my flight and contact information so knew about my delay. The car was clean, comfortable and nice and cool. Marinda was so nice to chat with and also gave me some time to take a much needed nap. Is definitely seek out her services again in the future!

    Best transfer service in Joburg
    Seamless experience from the initial quotation, to booking, payment and the transfer between OR Tambo to the game lodge where we are staying. Arnold who was our driver was friendly and a very competent driver. The vehicle was well maintained and large enough to accommodate my two strapping sons and all our luggage with no difficulty at all.

    Our shuttle service of choice
    We have now used Shuttle King for 4 trips between ORT and the Vaal. Each time Wilton was our driver. He is great at his job! Communicates well to let us know he is on his way. He is always on time and drives responsibly. Terri has been very helpful and responsive. Their tariffs are the best I could find and the cars are in a great condition. We travel regularly and will continue to use Shuttle King. Thanks for the great service.

    Lovely driver from Johannesburg to Kruger
    Thank you so much to our lovely driver, Arnold. He met us at arrivals at Johannesburg airport and drove us up to our lodge at Kruger. The car was comfortable, everything was organised and simple and we felt very happy with the service we received.

I chose Shuttle King as the prices are reasonable and the reviews mentioned how great the service was as well as how safe people felt. As a solo female traveller that put my mind at ease.

I have only praise for Shuttle King as the service from first contact to drop off was great. Terri made the booking process easy and very quick, she responded to my inquiry and in the same day everything was confirmed.

The drive with Mark was lovely, he is a great driver and very alert. The car is spacious and very clean. Mark dropped me off and made sure I was okay before leaving which I appreciated.

I'm glad I chose them and will definitely be using their services again. The level of professionalism and consideration that I received was was highly appreciated.

I have used Shuttleking for at least 10 years--travelling from O Tambo Johannesburg to Kimberly , Bloemfontein and recently three times to Reddersburg... Journeys of some 500kms each... with an experienced driver, able to locate safe comfort stops, and able to deal with delays/ road works without any problem, and still deliver me on time. Which is very important when you are trying to get to O Tambo Airport on a weekday through gridlock traffic. Terri is efficient dealing with bookings and speedy response to e-mails..Mark is a great driver and he will get you to the church on time!!! I have booked Mark for my return in October . Well done Shuttleking.

We just returned from a fabulous week at the Palace of the Lost City next to Pilanesberg. The property is located 2.5 hours away from JNB airport and so finding a reliable company at a reasonable price to do the journey wasn’t going to be easy. After doing a lot of research and reading reviews we decided to book with Shuttle King hoping for the best. The communication from beginning to end was top notch and made us feel at ease. Both Terri (GM) and Avril (Ops) were extremely responsive which made the booking process very easy. Our driver on both legs of our trip was Marinda. She was so lovely and friendly. She gave us loads of information about the destination, things to do, etc…, answered all of our questions and genuinely connected with us (we even exchanged phone numbers). I definitely recommend Shuttle King for anyone looking for a safe, reliable and friendly shuttle service.

Note: it is worth mentioning that upon arriving in JNB airport, the booster seat I had requested for my 3.5yo son was missing. It would have been safer to have him strapped in a child seat rather than having him on our lap, but we made it work. When I mentioned it to the driver, she was extremely apologetic and even offered to stop by their office to get one if needed. Terri (the GM) also personally apologised for the miss-hap. These things happen, not the end of the world.

The team at Shuttle King are terrific, from Terri at the office to the three different drivers we had were all impeccable. They organised us car seats for our three kids, were flexible with stops and detours on our drives when we needed them. Truely a delight to have travelled with them. I had the drivers details 24hrs in advance and drivers were always early, never leaving me to stress.

A BIG thank you to Terri from the shuttle service for the awesome service they rendered, the prompt responses via email.

My experience with Shuttle King was excellent, from the time i was picked up from the airport to my destination in Suncity , it was hassle free. Mark was so patient with me an my family that he made a stop so that we could have a quick bite to eat. Even on my return trip that I traveled with Ian he was so polite an friendly that we arrived at the airport way ahead of time. The vehicles that we traveled in was in excellent condition an we was comfortable an safe to travel a 2.5hour trip. I would recommend their service to anyone that wishes to travel with Shuttle King.

I'm an American tourist, and I was visiting SA because my fiancé lives there. I got stuck in SA for quite a while due to travel bans because of COVID-19. Shuttle King was the only one who I read great reviews about, and I am so happy that I chose to travel with them. Even with the lockdown happening, Terri went out of her way to get back to me in a very quick manner, and she did everything she could in order to help me out during those troubling times. They were efficient, super clean, and super friendly. I ended up using their travel services for the following day as well. Both of my drivers were Ian and Mark, and when I visit SA once again, I'll be sure to use their services again. Overall my experience with Shuttle King was the best. If I could rate them 10 stars I really would.

I have been meaning to write this review since October. Well, life had its own plan for me. However, here I am ;) Mark, apologies for the delay.

Mark Hesselberg at Shuttle King is a complete delight to be in a vehicle with for an extended amount of time and is very accommodating. He was on time and I was not. Thankfully, he patiently waited for me without an additional charge. Mark drove me between two safari lodges outside of the greater Johannesburg area. His vehicle was clean and roomy. He drove safely and was attentive to my comfort; water, bathroom stops, etc.

If you need a car and driver, I highly recommend Shuttle King.
