From one van to a fleet of twenty.
Stellenbosch Shuttles started in 2017 with a single van and a simple belief: getting around the winelands and to Cape Town International should be safe, friendly and on time. Today we run 20+ vehicles, 24/7, with the same code.
Our story
It started with one car and a long driveway.
In 2017, our founder bought a single Toyota Hiace and started running early-morning airport runs from Stellenbosch to Cape Town International. The idea was simple: pick people up on time, get them where they need to go, treat them well.
Word spread. Guesthouses started recommending us. Wine estates called for group transfers. Wedding planners asked for guest shuttles. One van became five, then ten — sedans, Vitos, Hiaces, Sprinters and 22-seater coaches.
Visitors kept telling us the same thing: "We don't want to drive in a new country — we just want someone safe, friendly and reliable behind the wheel."That's exactly what we built.
Today Stellenbosch Shuttles runs 24/7 across the winelands and beyond — airport transfers, private day tours, wedding shuttles, conference fleets and student rideshares — with the same code we started with.

The difference
Why a shuttle beats self-drive in the winelands
Self-drive in an unfamiliar country
- Massive refundable deposits held on your credit card
- Fuel, tolls and parking all on you
- Confusing insurance waivers and excess clauses
- Unfamiliar roads, traffic and estate parking
- No designated driver after wine tastings
- Some companies require TWO credit cards
Stellenbosch Shuttles — driver, fuel & vehicle, sorted
- No deposit. No credit card hold. Just a confirmed booking.
- Fuel, tolls and the driver's time — all included.
- Full passenger liability cover on every trip.
- Locals behind the wheel — they know every estate, shortcut and back road.
- Enjoy the tastings. No one has to be the designated driver.
- Up to 12 hours in the day — no rush, no hidden hourly penalties.

What drives us
The same code since day one
People first
Every guest is either on holiday or on business — both are too important to leave to chance. We plan around flight times, weather windows and traffic patterns so you don't have to.
Safety without compromise
Every driver is PrDP-licensed, background-checked and trained in defensive driving. Every vehicle is maintained to manufacturer standards. Passenger liability cover on every trip.
Time is the luxury
We arrive 15 minutes early. We track your flight. We know which wine estates need a booking and which roads to avoid at 5pm. Your time in the winelands is precious — we don't waste it.
