BUSINESS NEWS - Getting to the airport along the Garden Route usually meant one of three things.
You either roped in a mate for a lift, forked out for parking, or made the long drive yourself and hoped for the best.
These days, more people are skipping all that hassle and going with something a whole lot simpler and more reliable.
Garden Route Express Shuttles has become one of the most trusted names for getting around the Garden Route region.
They run proper scheduled services, so there's no guesswork and no last-minute stress. Book your seat, show up, and let someone else handle the driving.
And people have noticed. The company picked up the Tripadvisor Travellers' Choice Award in both 2025 and 2026, which puts them in the top 10% of transport providers worldwide, based purely on what real travellers had to say.
Closer to home, they're also Knysna's highest-rated shuttle service. That kind of reputation doesn't come from marketing. It comes from locals and visitors who keep coming back.
The George Airport Shuttle
Their bread and butter is the daily George Airport Shuttle. It runs five departures every single day, connecting George Airport, Wilderness, Sedgefield, Knysna and Plettenberg Bay. Fares start from R300 per person.
If you're flying out for a meeting, heading off on holiday, or landing back home after a long trip, it's an easy, reliable option. No parking fees. No favours to call in. Just a seat that's waiting for you.
Now running to Port Elizabeth too
The service has grown beyond airport runs. There's now a scheduled Port Elizabeth (Gqeberha) Shuttle that runs three times a week. It links the Garden Route to the Eastern Cape, which is a big win for business travellers, students, families and anyone heading through for a holiday.
It's the kind of route that makes life easier for plenty of people who make that trip regularly.
When your trip doesn't fit a timetable
Not every journey works around a set schedule, and that's exactly why they also offer private hire. The fleet is a solid one, covering just about anything you might need:
- Luxury sedans
- Mercedes-Benz V-Class vans
- Hyundai H1s
- 13-seater shuttles
- Minibuses
- Full-sized luxury coaches
That means they can handle airport transfers, weddings, golf tours, school groups, corporate events and private charters. Small group or big one, they've got a vehicle to match.
A one-stop option for the region
Tourism and business travel keep growing across the Garden Route, and reliable transport matters more than ever.
By pairing scheduled routes with flexible private hire, Garden Route Express Shuttles has built itself into a one-stop transport solution for the area. Thousands of passengers already trust them, trip after trip.
If you'd rather leave the driving to someone who knows these roads and the area, this is the way to go.
Garden Route Express Shuttles runs daily airport services, scheduled Port Elizabeth shuttles three times a week, and private vehicle hire right across the Garden Route.
