Long-Distance Movers From Johannesburg To Port Elizabeth

JHB Removals runs a scheduled weekly shared-load moving service from Johannesburg to Port Elizabeth (Gqeberha), with a dedicated consultant managing your move from quote to delivery. Backed by a 4.4 star Google rating and 100 reviews, we handle everything from a single item to a full household.

Long-Distance Furniture Removals From Johannesburg To Port Elizabeth

JHB Removals moves Johannesburg to Port Elizabeth (Gqeberha) two ways: a scheduled weekly shared-load departure for smaller loads, or a full household removal booked around your own dates. The route runs south on the N1 to Colesberg, then turns onto the N9 through Graaff-Reinet for the final stretch into the Eastern Cape. At roughly 1,064km, it’s the longest corridor we run out of Johannesburg, covered in around 11 to 12 hours of driving, with toll plazas at Grasmere, the Vaal River crossing, and Verkeerdevlei before the N9 turnoff. Because your goods travel as part of that week’s shared load, we work to a delivery window of 3 to 7 days rather than a single fixed date on the shared service. Blankets and strapping are included on every move, with packing, protective wrapping, and storage available if you need them.

 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.

Johannesburg To Port Elizabeth Moving Company Options

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

Affordable Shared Load

A shared load furniture removal suits smaller jobs, or moves where you can work with a delivery window rather than one fixed day. Your furniture travels as part of that week’s combined Johannesburg to Port Elizabeth run, and you’re billed for the space you actually use, not for booking a whole truck to yourself. That’s what keeps the shared-load price down.

Dedicated Truck

Dedicated trucks exist for jobs that can’t bend: a full house, an office relocation, or a booking tied to one specific date. Your furniture is the only thing on board for the whole run south, which means the crew isn’t stopping to load or offload anyone else’s belongings along the way. That said, 1,064km is still 1,064km, so even a dedicated booking gets quoted as a multi-day delivery rather than a same-day one.

Both options include the same packing standard: blanket wrapping, strapping, and protective padding. Your consultant confirms which one actually fits during the quote process rather than guessing from home size alone.

Two ways to start: fill in our online inventory form, or message your consultant directly on WhatsApp. Either way, we confirm your total volume, access at both ends, and preferred dates before quoting a price, and nothing gets added after that.

How Much Does It Cost To Move From Johannesburg To Port Elizabeth?

What does a move from Johannesburg 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	Johannesburg 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 apartment moving from a secure complex in Boksburg to a townhouse in Port Elizabeth’s Walmer typically falls within the 2 Bedroom range shown above, once access and timing are confirmed.

We also transport vehicles from Johannesburg to 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 Johannesburg To Port Elizabeth

Cape Town

Benoni, Boksburg, and Alberton on the East Rand make up a steady share of our Johannesburg collections on this route, alongside the usual Sandton and Fourways corporate transfers. We confirm access details and visitor-parking rules with your building or estate before collection day, so there’s no surprise when the truck arrives.

Pretoria

Port Elizabeth’s Summerstrand, Walmer, Mill Park, and Lorraine are where most of our deliveries land, and coastal wind on moving day is a real factor crews plan around when carrying larger items. We confirm access details before collection day rather than discovering a tricky driveway on arrival.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to move from Johannesburg 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.

Will I pay tolls on the Johannesburg to Port Elizabeth route?

Yes. Grasmere, the Vaal River crossing, and Verkeerdevlei are all on the N1 before the N9 turnoff at Colesberg. These are fixed, predictable costs already factored into your quote, not an extra charge that shows up later.

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 Johannesburg?

We collect across Johannesburg, including Benoni, Boksburg, Alberton, Sandton, and Fourways. Your consultant will confirm access requirements for your specific complex 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.
