You pay one fixed price for the whole vehicle. There’s no per-seat pricing and no surge pricing, so a family of four in a sedan or a team of nine in a 9-seater pays the same as one person would. Get an exact quote and book online on our booking page.

Shuttle vs Gautrain from Pretoria to OR Tambo

The Gautrain runs from Pretoria and Hatfield stations to OR Tambo, with a change at Marlboro. It’s a good choice if you’re travelling light and already live or stay near a station.

A door-to-door shuttle is usually the better fit when:

  • you’re starting from home, a hotel or an office rather than a Gautrain station
  • you have several suitcases, sports gear or equipment
  • you’re travelling as a family or group, where one vehicle price beats several train tickets plus taxis at each end
  • your flight is very early or late, outside train operating hours
