  • Sandton to OR Tambo Shuttle



Heading out of Sandton to catch a flight at OR Tambo International? A2B Shuttle picks you up on time, drives the fastest available route, and gets you to departures with time to spare – no last-minute scrambling for a lift or a rideshare during rush hour.

How early should you leave Sandton?

Timing your departure correctly matters more on this route than the distance suggests, because Sandton’s exit routes feed straight into Johannesburg’s busiest morning and afternoon traffic corridors.

  • Domestic flights: leave Sandton at least 2 hours 30 minutes before departure
  • International flights: leave 3 to 3.5 hours before departure to allow for longer check-in and security queues
  • Weekday peak hours (06:30-08:30 and 15:30-18:00): add 20-30 minutes buffer for the M1 and R24
  • Early morning or late-night flights: traffic is light, but we still recommend building in a small buffer for airport parking and drop-off congestion

Tell us your flight number and departure time when you book, and we’ll calculate your ideal pickup time for you – or ask our team via WhatsApp if you’re unsure.

Fixed fare, no surprises

A Sandton to OR Tambo transfer starts from R736 one-way in a Standard Sedan, fixed and confirmed before you travel. Because the fare is distance-based rather than metered, you pay the same rate whether you leave at 5am or during Friday afternoon rush hour. Get your live quote on the booking page.
