Moving tips for Johannesburg

Plan your move around Johannesburg’s traffic as it can significantly affect moving day schedules, particularly around Sandton, Rosebank, Fourways, Randburg, Midrand and the major routes connecting the city to surrounding areas. Check peak traffic periods and allow additional time if you are moving to or from a busy business district or apartment complex.

Book with your removal company early as moving demand can increase around month-end, school holidays, the December festive season and the start of the school year.

Check for access restrictions before arriving to your destination. If you are moving into an apartment complex or townhouse estate, check whether delivery vehicles need to be registered in advance or whether moving hours are restricted. For smaller towns, farms or rural properties, provide your movers with precise directions and advise them about gravel roads, steep entrances or access limitations.
