Arriving at the airport
After landing, follow the signs for baggage collection and proceed through the required arrival checks. Keep your passport, booking details and accommodation address easy to reach. Once you enter the arrivals area, look for official information points and clear signs for transport, car hire and meeting areas.If you are meeting a private driver, confirm the agreed meeting point before leaving the building. Use the details provided with your booking rather than accepting unsolicited offers. If your plans change after landing, ask airport staff or your transport provider for current guidance.
Getting into town
A private transfer is useful when you want a driver waiting for you and direct transport to your accommodation. It can also suit families, groups and travellers carrying bulky luggage. Share your flight details and accommodation address when arranging the service, then check the meeting instructions before departure.Taxis are available for travellers who prefer to arrange transport after landing. Use the designated pickup area and confirm the destination before setting off. Public transport can be a practical choice for travellers who are comfortable checking routes, stops and operating details themselves. Ask the airport or transport operator for current information, as services and arrangements can change.
A hire car gives you more flexibility if you are visiting the Cape Peninsula, the Winelands or towns beyond the city. Compare the collection arrangements, insurance terms and driving requirements before booking. Check where the car is collected and allow time to complete the paperwork after landing.
