Drive-Away Deliveries

Dedicated vehicle, point-to-point — your goods travel alone

A drive-away delivery is the premium tier of courier service. Unlike standard courier or freight, your consignment is the only cargo on the vehicle. A dedicated driver collects from your door, drives directly to the destination and delivers without any stops, hubs or co-loading. It is the fastest, most secure way to move goods by road.

When to Choose Drive-Away

Time-Critical Shipments

Production lines waiting on a part, legal deadlines, emergency medical supplies — when every hour counts and standard schedules are too slow.

Sensitive & Confidential

Legal documents, financial records, exam papers, prototypes and intellectual property that must remain in a secure, single-custody chain.

High-Value Cargo

Jewellery, electronics, precision instruments and other high-value goods that benefit from exclusive vehicle use and no co-loading risk.

Large & Awkward Items

Oversized machinery parts, artwork, display stands and items that do not fit standard courier dimensions or require careful load planning.

Service Features

Dedicated Vehicle

Your consignment travels in a vehicle exclusively assigned to your shipment. No other cargo is loaded, eliminating the risk of cross-contamination, damage from shifting loads or mis-delivery.

Direct, Non-Stop Transport

The vehicle travels directly from collection point to delivery point without routing through hubs, depots or sorting facilities. This ensures the fastest possible transit time by road.

Flexible Vehicle Sizes

We match the vehicle to your cargo. Options range from a sedan or small van for documents and parcels, through panel vans and bakkies, up to trucks for larger consignments. Tell us what you are shipping and we will assign the right vehicle.

GPS Tracking

Every drive-away vehicle is GPS-equipped, giving you real-time visibility of your shipment’s location throughout the journey. We provide tracking updates at key milestones or on request.

Driver Contact

You receive the driver’s contact number so you can communicate directly regarding collection readiness, estimated arrival times or any special instructions.

How to Book

  1. Contact us — Call our operations team or submit a request via our contact page with your collection address, delivery address, consignment details and required timeframe.
  2. Receive a quote — We calculate the rate based on distance, vehicle type and urgency. Drive-away pricing is transparent with no hidden surcharges.
  3. Confirm & collect — Once confirmed, we dispatch a dedicated driver to your location. Collection can often be arranged within 60–90 minutes in major metro areas.
  4. Track & deliver — Follow your shipment via GPS in real time. Receive proof of delivery upon completion.
After hours & weekends: Drive-away services are available outside of standard business hours, including weekends and public holidays, subject to availability. After-hours rates may apply.
Insurance: We recommend Goods in Transit insurance for all drive-away consignments, particularly high-value shipments. Cover can be arranged at the time of booking.
