Vehicle Transportation

Post by FooFunk »

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone had some contacts or recommendations.

I need to have my Bus collected and transported from PE to Cape Town....it is currently not running or on wheels.

Or anyone who is making a trip to Cape Town and looking for some extra cash?

Any suggestions?

Try Peter Benn Motors. They transport non runners but I am sure it should be on wheels.
They are based in PE

Hi Jdt1976

Thanks for this! I seem to have a solution for the moment but that could all change. If so I will surely give Peter a call.

Thanks again

HI SEAN AND BUGSPRAY.

WHO IS DOING YOUR MOTOR IN DURBAN, AND TO BUGSPRAY...; WHY ARE YOU TRANSPORTING YOUR BUS TO DURBAN? IS IT STAYING HERE?
YOU GUYS CAN TRY NOBLE FREIGHT. I USED PETER BENN. THEY MANAGED TO DO SOME DAMAGE TO CYNDI'S KOMBI AND EVEN THOUGH WE SENT THEM THE PROOF AND POINTED IT OUT TO THE DRIVER WHEN WE RECEIVED IT THEY JUST IGNORED ALL OUR ATTEMPTS TO CLAIM AGAINST THE TRANSPORTER'S INSURANCE EVEN THOUGH IT DID STATE IN THE CONTRACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS COVERED UP TO SOME ASTRONOMICAL AMOUNT.
NOBLE FREIGHT WAS ALSO CHEAPER. WE USED THEM WITH OUR SECOND RUN.
