Preparing for Your Move in Cape Town

1. Plan Ahead: Moving within the city means you may have to navigate busy streets, especially in bustling areas like the V&A Waterfront or Sea Point. It’s crucial to plan your move well in advance to avoid delays and ensure smooth access to your new location.

2. Parking Permits: In areas like Green Point or Cape Town’s City Center, parking can be limited. Be sure to arrange parking for your moving vehicle before moving day. If you’re moving in a densely populated area, contact your local council for any necessary permits.

3. Elevator & Stairs Access: Many properties in areas like the City Center or Sea Point are high-rise buildings with limited elevator access. Confirm with your building management if any special arrangements are needed, such as reserving the elevator or arranging for additional movers.

4. Personal Belongings: Sort your belongings before the move—declutter and pack early to ensure a quick and efficient moving process. Label boxes for easy unloading and identify any fragile or valuable items for extra care.

Moving Day: What to Expect

When the big day arrives, our goal is to make the process as easy as possible. Here’s what you can expect:

1. Arrival Time: Your moving vehicle (truck or bakkie) will arrive at the scheduled time. Our professional movers will work quickly to load your items, keeping them secure for the trip.

2. Vehicle Size: Depending on the amount of furniture and belongings you’re moving, you can choose between a truck or a bakkie. For smaller loads or moving out of an apartment, a bakkie is often ideal. For larger homes or multiple rooms, a truck is typically more appropriate. Not sure which to choose? Let our Mover Marketplace help guide you based on your requirements.

3. Route Planning: Local Cape Town traffic can be tricky, especially around busy spots like the V&A Waterfront or Green Point. We’ll plan the best route to avoid delays and ensure your items are transported efficiently.

4. Unloading: Once at your new location, our team will help unload your belongings carefully and place them where needed. If you’re moving into a business property at the V&A Waterfront, we’ll ensure everything is set up for your team’s smooth transition.

Choosing the Right Vehicle for Your Move

Wondering whether to book a truck or a bakkie? Here’s how to decide:

• Bakkie: Ideal for smaller moves such as studio apartments, one-bedroom flats, or light business relocations in Cape Town’s compact areas like Green Point or Sea Point. A bakkie offers flexibility, especially for short trips with fewer items.

• Truck: A full-sized truck is perfect for larger moves. If you have a full house, multiple rooms, or bulky items such as furniture or appliances, a truck is your best choice. Trucks are also recommended for business moves with heavier or larger items, especially in commercial areas like the City Center or the V&A Waterfront.

Local Facts About Moving in Cape Town

• Sea Point and Green Point: Both are popular residential areas with tight street parking and narrow roads. It’s important to book a parking spot for your moving vehicle and avoid peak traffic hours.

• V&A Waterfront: As a commercial hub, the Waterfront can be challenging for moves due to high foot traffic and limited access for large vehicles. Early morning moves or booking a dedicated parking area may be necessary.

• Cape Town City Center: The heart of Cape Town is often bustling, with busy roads and a mix of residential and commercial properties. Parking can be scarce, so it’s essential to communicate with your building’s management and secure space for the moving truck or bakkie.
