A driver for any trip in the Cape
Between the airport and your hotel, out to the Winelands for the day, down the coast to Hermanus, or up to a game reserve. One fixed price, seen before you book, and a driver who knows the road.
Where we drive
Every trip between the places below has a fixed price, whichever way you are going. Tap a place and the booking page opens with the airport as the other end, or pick any two ends there.
The airport to the City Bowl, for example, is R630 for a sedan with up to three passengers and their luggage. To Camps Bay it is R893, and to Stellenbosch R914.
Anywhere else in the Western Cape, or a trip that stops on the way, is priced by a person the same day.

What fixed means
The price covers the vehicle, the driver, your luggage and the wait if your flight is late. There is nothing to add at the end of the ride.
The example fares are for a sedan, which takes up to three passengers with a suitcase each. Four to seven people travel in a minivan, and there is a 13-seat minibus and a 22-seat coach for groups. Each has its own fixed price on every route, shown on the booking page the moment you pick it.
No night surcharge, no tolls, and a baby seat or a toddler seat if you ask for one when you book.
When one end is the airport
Give us your flight number and we track it. Your driver is timed to your actual landing, waits inside the terminal at arrivals with a Papaya name board, and the first 60 minutes after you land are free. Late flights are the ones people worry about most, and they are the ones we plan for, whatever the hour.
Going to the airport, your driver comes to your address at the time you booked and messages you from outside.
Any other trip
The operators in the network take any trip in the Western Cape: between towns in the Winelands, out to Hermanus for the weekend, a group to a wedding and back, a day of errands with a driver who waits.
Those trips do not have a fixed fare yet, because the price depends on the day and the distance. Tell us the trip on the booking page and a person comes back to you on WhatsApp with one fixed price. Pay it, and the booking works exactly like any other from there.
Outside the Western Cape, ask anyway. We tell you straight whether we can do it yet.
