Johannesburg → Sandton: key facts

Sandton from Johannesburg Airport (JNB) by private transfer: €45 per car (1–3 people) or €65 per van (4–8), fixed per vehicle and identical to the checkout price. On the road it is 30 km via M54, roughly 35 min when traffic is light and 35–45 min when it is not.

Meeting point: The driver waits in the public arrivals hall of the terminal your flight lands at (Terminal A for most international flights, Terminal B for most domestic flights), after baggage reclaim and, on international flights, passport control and customs, holding a sign with your name. Flight tracking is included, the first hour after landing is free waiting time, and the driver carries your bags to the car.

Sandton is the business district in the north of Johannesburg, with the stock exchange, office towers, large hotels and the Sandton City and Nelson Mandela Square shopping complex. From the airport the road heads west on the R24, joins the N3 Eastern Bypass northbound and leaves at the Marlboro or Grayston Drive interchanges for the centre of Sandton. The distance is about 23 km; in light traffic the trip takes around 25 minutes, but the N3 and the Sandton exits are congested on weekday mornings and late afternoons.

Most hotels are concentrated within walking distance of Nelson Mandela Square, the Sandton Convention Centre and the Gautrain station on Rivonia Road, and many have their own driveways for drop-offs. Rosebank, with more hotels and its own Gautrain station, is one stop south, and the Melrose Arch mixed-use development lies about 4 km to the east. Residential suburbs such as Morningside, Bryanston and Rivonia surround the district, with guesthouses usually behind gated entrances.

Public transport instead: Gautrain train Airport Service from OR Tambo station to Sandton station, about every 12 minutes, 05:15-22:00.
