Moving from Johannesburg to Pretoria is one of the most common household moves in South Africa — and at roughly 60km between the two metros, it’s a same-day move with the right team. Whether you’re relocating from Sandton to Centurion, moving the family from Randburg to Pretoria East, or downsizing into a Pretoria apartment, the move is straightforward when handled by a team that knows both metros well.
How our Joburg-to-Pretoria move works
South African Furniture Removals runs same-day moves between Johannesburg and Pretoria. The 60km distance means the truck collects in the morning, drives the N1 to Pretoria, and unloads the same afternoon. No overnight in transit, no consolidation wait.

- Collection Day. Our team arrives with blankets, strapping, and protective wrapping.
- Transit. Direct drive via the N1 — 1 to 1.5 hours, depending on traffic.
- Delivery same afternoon. Team unloads, places items where you want them, and you sign off.
What it costs (2026 pricing)
Because this is a same-day move, pricing is closer to a within-metro local move than a long-distance route.
| Property size | Typical price |
|---|---|
| Studio / 1-bed flat | R1,900 – R4,000 |
| 2-bed flat or small house | R3,000 – R5,500 |
| 3-bed house | R6,500 – R11,000 |
| 4-bed+ house | R8,000 – R25,000+ |
Final price depends on volume, access (lifts, stairs, narrow driveways), and dates (December–January peak adds 15–30%).

Common questions
Can you do my move tomorrow?
Often yes for off-peak weekdays. In December–January peak, expect 2–4 weeks lead time.
Share-load or full-load?
For 60km same-day, almost always full-load. Share-load saves money on long routes — at this distance consolidation overhead isn’t worth it.
Reverse direction (Pretoria to Joburg)?
Yes, same service and pricing.
