Distance Should Change the Route — Never the Standard
A long distance relocation multiplies everything that can go wrong in a move: more hours on the road, more handling points, more parties involved, and — with most moving companies — a shared load in which your furniture travels alongside three other households and arrives when it arrives. Relocation Masters runs long distance relocations differently. Your goods are professionally packed and wrapped in Gauteng, loaded into a dedicated or sensibly part-loaded vehicle, sealed, tracked on the road, and delivered into your new home by our own crew — on a date we commit to in writing.
For more than a decade we have moved families and businesses from Johannesburg and Pretoria to Cape Town, Durban, Gqeberha, Bloemfontein, the Garden Route and every province between — and brought just as many home to Gauteng. Executives relocating for a posting, families following a new opportunity, retirees heading for the coast: each move is planned by a dedicated relocation manager who remains your single point of contact across every kilometre.
The standard at six hundred kilometres is identical to the standard at six: export-grade wrapping, insured handling, placement and assembly at destination, and a follow-up call to confirm that everything arrived exactly as it left.
What Your Long Distance Move Includes
Route & Schedule Planning
A committed collection date, a committed delivery window, and a route plan that accounts for distance, weather and secure overnight standing.
Dedicated & Sealed Loads
Your household travels alone where you choose it — sealed at your door, opened at your new one. Shared-load options exist; surprises don’t.
Tracked Vehicles & Updates
Satellite-tracked fleet with proactive updates from your relocation manager — you always know where your home is on the road.
Professional Packing Included
Long roads demand proper packing. Our packing teams prepare every carton and wrap every piece to export grade before loading.
Comprehensive Insurance
Goods-in-Transit cover across provinces as standard, with all-risk options for high-value households — documented before departure.
Delivery, Assembly & Settling
Our crew — not a subcontractor — places furniture, reassembles beds and units, and removes packaging at your new home.
The Long Distance Routes We Run
Gauteng to the Western Cape
Our most travelled corridor: Johannesburg and Pretoria to Cape Town, Stellenbosch, Somerset West, Paarl and the Winelands. Roughly 1,400 kilometres handled with overnight secure standing and delivery typically within one to three days of collection, depending on the service level you select.
Gauteng to KwaZulu-Natal
Durban, Umhlanga, Ballito and the Midlands — a six-to-eight-hour corridor we often run as dedicated same-week round trips, which makes well-priced dedicated loads possible for KZN-bound families.
Gauteng to the Eastern Cape, Free State and Beyond
Gqeberha, East London, the Garden Route, Bloemfontein, Mbombela, Polokwane — wherever the new chapter is, we plan the route, the standing and the delivery with the same precision. Cross-border moves into neighbouring countries can be arranged on consultation.
Moving to Gauteng?
We bring households into Johannesburg and Pretoria from across the country, with secure storage available if your new home isn’t ready — collected nationally, stored in Gauteng, delivered the day you get the keys.

Why Families Trust Us With the Long Road
Committed Dates, in Writing
The long-distance industry’s worst habit is the vague delivery window. We commit collection and delivery dates contractually — and our operations are built to honour them.
One Crew, Door to Door
No handovers to unknown subcontractors at the destination city. The team that seals your load in Gauteng is accountable until the last piece is placed in your new home.
Group Fleet Capacity
As part of the Careful Group we draw on a national-capable fleet — which means realistic scheduling, genuine dedicated-load availability and a backup plan that isn’t a phone call to a stranger.
Transparent, Fixed Pricing
Volume, route and service level — quoted once, fixed in writing, inclusive of packing materials, insurance documentation and delivery placement. No per-kilometre ambushes.
Departing From Anywhere in Gauteng
We collect long distance moves from every corner of the province — including Johannesburg, Pretoria, Sandton, Centurion, Midrand, Roodepoort, Benoni, Boksburg, Kempton Park and Krugersdorp. View all areas we serve →
Long Distance Relocation — Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a Johannesburg to Cape Town move take?
A dedicated load is typically collected one day and delivered within one to three days, depending on schedule. Shared-load economies extend this to an agreed window — which we commit to in writing rather than leaving open-ended.
What is the difference between a dedicated and shared load?
A dedicated load means a vehicle carries only your household, sealed door to door, on your dates. A shared load combines compatible consignments on the same route at lower cost, with a committed delivery window. We price both transparently so you choose with full information.
Is my furniture safe overnight during a long distance move?
Yes. Vehicles stand overnight only in secured, monitored facilities — never on the roadside — and remain sealed and satellite-tracked throughout the journey.
What does a long distance move cost?
Pricing is driven by volume, route and service level (dedicated versus shared). As a guide, a typical three-bedroom household between Gauteng and the coast is a fixed-quoted project, not an hourly gamble — request a quote and you’ll have a precise figure within a day.
Can you store my goods if my new home isn’t ready?
Yes. We collect on your schedule, hold your household in secure storage, and deliver nationwide the moment you’re ready — a common arrangement for transfers and property-chain gaps.
Do you move vehicles, pets or plants long distance?
Vehicles can be transported alongside your household by arrangement. Pets require specialist couriers we can recommend; plants travel at owner’s risk due to provincial agricultural regulations — your relocation manager will advise on both.
Do you handle moves into Gauteng from other provinces?
Absolutely — inbound relocations from any province are planned with the same committed dates and door-to-door accountability, including storage in Gauteng if required.
