Furniture Removals Cape Town to Port Elizabeth

JHB Removals runs a weekly shared-load service between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth (Gqeberha), backed by a 4.4 star Google rating and 100 reviews, with a dedicated consultant on your move from quote to delivery. At roughly 657km via the N2, a dedicated truck can often deliver the next day.

The Road Between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth

This route shares its first stretch with our shorter Garden Route runs — up Sir Lowry’s Pass and through the Overberg — but keeps going well past George, through Knysna and Plettenberg Bay and into the Tsitsikamma forest region, where the N2 crosses the Bloukrans River on one of the highest bridges in the world. It’s roughly 657km and about 7 hours, with the Tsitsikamma stretch itself prone to slow-moving fog that we build extra time around.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Got caught off guard by an illness in the family and I was very worried about moving all my belongings from CPT to JHB on such short notice. Robyn was so understanding and accommodating and made me feel so much better about the entire process with their efficient and empathetic communication. I will definitely be using JHB Removals services again in 2027 when its time to move again!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a delightful experience. The team manoeuvred their large truck through my complex and did not bump a thing. Then the same respect was shown to my newly renovated home when they unloaded my items, They did not touch 1 of my freshly painted walls they were careful and respectful, what a pleasant experience.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I were very nervous about moving our furniture from Cape Town back to Pretoria after a terrible experience moving down to Cape Town two years ago. However, JHB Removals made the experience so pleasant with their constant communication and efficient service. They were incredibly accommodating in getting us our preferred moving dates on short notice and their teams arrived on time for both pick-up and delivery. The movers handled all of our stuff with care and nothing was damaged on delivery. We will happily recommend JHB Removals for any moving needs.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently used JHB Removals for my move.
Communication was easy and clear from my first website quote request.
Arrangements were  made for them to arrive ar 9am, the driver let me know by 7:30 that they will arrive by 8:30.
All items was neatly covered and strapped in their blankets ant tape. Within an hour all items were loaded and by 10am everything was safely transported and delivered at the new apartment.
Friendly staff, efficient and competent to do what needs to be done.
I can highly recommend the company.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am writing this review with an immense sense of gratitude and relief. Two days before my scheduled move from Pretoria to Gordons Bay, another removal company callously dropped me, leaving me in a state of panic.

In my desperation, I reached out to both JHB Removals and Legends Removals. Robyn from JHB Removals was incredibly understanding and worked tirelessly to find a solution. She then connected me with Michael and Cynelle from Legends Removals.

Michael was an absolute hero. He calmly assessed my situation and, against all odds, crafted a seamless plan to get my furniture collected and moved. He has scheduled the pickup for tomorrow, and I have complete faith that my belongings will arrive safely in Gordons Bay next week.

The compassion, efficiency, and professionalism shown by Robyn, Michael, and Cynelle during such a stressful time were nothing short of exceptional. They didn't just take on a job; they provided a solution and peace of mind when I needed it most. I cannot thank them enough or recommend them more highly. If you need a removal company you can truly trust, look no further!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am very happy that we chose Jhb Removals for my son's move from Johannesburg to Cape Town. I appreciated their pricing model, which I didn't get from other removal companies. A shuttle service was actually required for the collection due to the narrow and winding driveway, but as I was able to get everything to the gate myself, I was able to save a couple of thousand Rand that a shuttle service would have cost.
The truck had gearbox trouble on the way to Cape Town, resulting in them not being able to deliver on the promised date. These things can happen, but what I appreciated was a direct call from the driver to explain the problem. A new delivery date was agreed to, that fitted into my son's schedule, and they arrived on time as promised. The other great aspect was that Robyn communicated with us throughout the time that the truck was delayed and so, even with the delay, I will still give them a 5 star rating for the whole experience and the service that they offered.

Cape Town to Port Elizabeth Moving Options

Two ways to book this move, so you can weigh cost against timeline.

Affordable Shared Load

A shared load furniture removal suits a smaller load or a delivery date with some give. Your furniture travels as part of that week’s combined Cape Town to Port Elizabeth run, and you only pay for the space it actually takes up, with delivery typically landing within 2 to 4 days.

Dedicated Truck

A dedicated truck makes sense for a full household, a business relocation, or a date that can’t move. Nothing else is loaded along the way, and because the drive itself is around 7 hours, a dedicated booking to Port Elizabeth often delivers the next day rather than needing a multi-day window.

Both options get the same packing standard — blanket wrapping, strapping, and protective padding — and your consultant confirms which service actually suits your move rather than guessing from home size alone.

Get Your Cape Town to Port Elizabeth Moving Quote

Two ways to get a number: complete our online inventory form, or message a consultant on WhatsApp directly. Either way, we confirm your volume, access at both ends, and your preferred dates before quoting — nothing gets added once that quote is given.

How Much Does It Cost To Move From Cape Town To Port Elizabeth?

What does a move from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth actually cost? It depends on your inventory volume, not the number of bedrooms in your home, so the table below is organised by real load size rather than a flat per-room rate.

Size of Your Home	Cape Town to Port Elizabeth
1 Bedroom / Bachelor Flat	R3,500 – R6,000
2 Bedroom Apartment	R5,500 – R12,000
3 Bedroom House	R12,000 – R23,500
4+ Bedroom Family Home	R23,500 – R36,000

Note: These are estimated base prices. For an exact, customized price, please request a free quote. Last updated 17 September 2026.

Every quote is still based on your own itemised inventory, not just the table above.

Example: a two-bedroom flat moving from the Northern Suburbs to a home in Walmer, Port Elizabeth, typically falls within the 2 Bedroom range shown above, once access and timing are confirmed.

We also transport vehicles between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth, secured on a car carrier and coordinated alongside your household move. Cars, bakkies, and motorcycles go door-to-door or depot-to-depot, timed to land near your furniture delivery date.

What Our Crews Know About Moving From Cape Town To Port Elizabeth

Cape Town

Bellville, Durbanville, and Brackenfell make up most of our Cape Town collections on this route, and it’s rare for a job here not to involve some kind of estate or complex sign-in process. We build that into the schedule upfront rather than discovering it on the morning of your move, so gate lists and visitor permits are sorted before the truck arrives. For full suburb-level detail, see our Cape Town moving company page.

Port Elizabeth

Summerstrand, Walmer, Mill Park, and Lorraine are the Port Elizabeth (Gqeberha) areas we deliver into most, ranging from beachfront apartment blocks near Summerstrand to older free-standing homes in Walmer and Mill Park. Our Moving to Port Elizabeth guide covers more on settling in once you’ve arrived.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to move from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth?

This route is priced by inventory volume rather than bedroom count, together with access conditions on both ends. See the pricing table above for average costs by home size.

What happens if the Tsitsikamma stretch is affected by fog?

The Tsitsikamma forest stretch, where the N2 crosses the Bloukrans River, is prone to slow-moving fog that can stretch this leg of the drive. If that happens on your collection or delivery day, shared-load departures move to the next available slot, and dedicated trucks are rescheduled with same-day notice.

Do you offer both shared load and dedicated truck options?

Yes. A shared load suits smaller jobs and flexible dates, while a dedicated truck suits full households, offices, or a fixed collection date. Your consultant will confirm which fits during the quote process.

Which areas do you deliver to in Port Elizabeth?

We deliver across Port Elizabeth (Gqeberha), including Summerstrand, Walmer, Mill Park, and Lorraine. If your new address falls outside these areas, ask your consultant to confirm coverage.

Which areas do you collect from in Cape Town?

We collect across Cape Town, including the Northern Suburbs — Bellville, Durbanville, and Brackenfell are typical. Your consultant confirms access for your specific building or estate before collection day.

Is my furniture insured during transit?

Insurance options are available for your move, including Goods-in-Transit and All-Risk cover. Since coverage and cost vary by option, your consultant will confirm the right choice for your move before you book.
