Private seller pickup without borrowing a bakkie

Whether the deal started on a classified site or a chat thread, the logistics are the same: two addresses, the right vehicle, and a driver who helps lift.

QikTruck recommendation

Book only after the private seller confirms the item is paid for, accessible and ready to leave, so the driver is not delayed at the gate.

Safety basics

Prefer public meeting points when possible for handover of keys or small items. For furniture, driveway collection with a known booking reference is normal.

Notes for the driver

  • Gate codes and parking
  • Which unit or cottage
  • Stairs vs lift
