1.Cape Town Airport Private Transfer

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 410 reviews · from $39Our pick

Review of Cape Town’s private airport transfer, covering price, pickup, comfort, timing, driver service, value, and booking advice.

“I booked this after reading about the questionable sounding taxi situation in Cape Town. I didn't want to have to deal with that after 20 hours in airplanes. The gentleman (Unfortunately I've forgotten his name) was easy to find, just past customs. He was very friendly and imformative; and we had a nice conversation all the way to the hotel. The driver was the first person (besides passport control) I interacted with in South Africa, and it proved to be a great start to my time here.”
