If you’ve ever tried to get a truck hire quote in Johannesburg and wondered why prices vary so much, you’re not alone. The truth is, several factors influence what you’ll pay from the type of truck you choose to how long you need it for.
At Johannesburg Truck & Crane Hire, we believe in being upfront. No hidden fees, no fine print just clear information so you can make the right choice for your job or business.
The first thing that affects your price is the truck itself. A small panelvan costs less to hire than a heavy-duty flatbed with a crane because each vehicle is designed for different kinds of work.
Here’s a quick comparison from our fleet:
If you’re unsure which one fits your project, our team can help you match the right vehicle to your load and route.

Distance and duration play a big role in your quote.
If you need multiple vehicles or ongoing logistics support, a tailored fleet leasing option could save you money and time.
Not all loads are created equal. A few pallets of boxed goods are simpler to move than a piece of industrial equipment or a shipping container.
When the load is oversized or irregular, your quote may include extra services such as:
These aren’t add-ons for profit — they’re safety essentials that keep your cargo, crew, and other road users protected.
You can choose to hire the truck only or hire it with a certified driver or crane operator.
If your team is qualified and insured, self-drive is usually the most affordable option. But if you’d rather have us handle the logistics, our skilled operators are ready to step in — which can save hours on tight construction or delivery schedules.
Like most industries, truck hire pricing can shift slightly during peak times. End-of-month moves, construction season, or year-end logistics pushes can increase demand.
Booking ahead guarantees availability and keeps your rate stable.
When you request a quote from us, you’ll see:
