Our story
Why we don't publish set rates
We operate a fleet of serviced, fully insured and licensed vehicles — metered taxis for up to 4 passengers, shuttles for up to 12, and coaches for larger groups. Based on experience, we don't quote fixed tariffs on the website: every passenger's requirements are unique, and a straight rate card would stop us giving you the best possible price.
That flexibility is exactly why Leon Naidoo started King Shaka Airport Shuttle — as an alternative to the extortionate rates charged elsewhere. Send us your trip and you'll get a real quote, not a guess.
