In general all the taxi operators collude with each other and fix prices so taxis are not cheap (and not metered). Haggling is usual so it is best to agree a price when you phone. Do not rely on taxi ranks in shopping malls as often there are none. Always have a few taxi telephone numbers with you so you avoide being stranded anywhere.

  • Airport Link, ☎ +27 (0)11) 792 2017, www.airportlink.co.za. Fixed price airport transfer service.
  • Elias, ☎ +27 (0)76 834 0670. Friendly taxi driver based in the CBD.
  • Magicbus, ☎ +27 (0)11 548-0822, www.magicbus.co.za. Offers shuttle services between OR Tambo Airport and Sandton. They also offer door-to-door transfers. A bit expensive for the single traveller, but reasonable when traveling in groups.
  • Maxi Taxi, ☎ +27 (0)11 648 1212, www.maxitaxi.co.za. Reputable taxi firm based in Yeoville.
  • Roses Taxi, ☎ +27 (0)11 403 9625. Operates throughout the city.

Be aware that ongoing traffic diversions will be in effect in Sandton, Rosebank, and other areas over the next few years. This is due to the construction of the Gautrain www.gautrain.co.za rapid rail link between Johannesburg, Pretoria and OR Tambo International Airport www.airports.co.za
