Train car carriers were once considered a viable method of transporting vehicles across long distances in South Africa. However, due to outdated infrastructure, slow turnaround times, and limited route access, most individuals and businesses now turn to road-based alternatives like Intercity Auto Movers. We provide a faster, safer, and more flexible solution for transporting your car nationwide—without relying on rail networks.
Why People Are Moving Away From Rail Transport
South Africa’s rail freight industry has seen major declines due to theft, delays, and lack of modernisation. While train car carriers still operate on select routes, their availability is limited and often requires depot-based drop-offs and collections. Our road-based vehicle transport service eliminates those complications, offering a far more efficient and direct experience.
