Our Fleet – What You Can Hire
At Book-A-Bakkie, we offer more than just bakkies. Our rental fleet includes a wide variety of trucks to suit different industries and needs. Every vehicle is well-maintained, clean, and available for short- or long-term hire.
Bakkies
Don’t let the name fool you—Book-A-Bakkie offers more than just bakkie rentals, but our bakkies remain one of our most popular options. Perfect for lighter loads and local moves.
Options available:
- Single Cab Bakkies
- Double Cab Bakkies
- Volumetric Bakkies for larger, lightweight goods
Delivery Vans
For businesses delivering products daily or couriers making multiple stops, our delivery vans offer a secure, fuel-efficient option for urban routes.
Ideal for:
- Retail stock
- Parcels and documents
- Fragile or weather-sensitive items
Drop Side Trucks
Need to move construction material or bulky loads? Our drop side trucks are designed for quick loading and unloading, with collapsible sides for easy access.
Available sizes:
- 1 Ton

Panel Vans
These enclosed trucks protect your cargo from the elements and are perfect for goods that need to stay dry, secure, and out of sight.
Used by:
- Furniture movers

Curtain Side Trucks
Curtain sides are a favourite among logistics companies because they’re easy to load from either side, saving time and reducing labour costs.
Great for:
- Palletised goods
- Warehousing and logistics operations
Crane Trucks
Sometimes, a regular truck just won’t do. That’s when you need the power and convenience of a crane truck. These trucks are fitted with hydraulic lifting equipment to help move heavy items easily.
Use cases include:
- Moving containers
- Lifting and placing generators or machinery
- Transporting building materials
Refrigerated Trucks
Also called reefer trucks, these are specially designed to maintain cold temperatures. Whether you’re transporting fresh produce, pharmaceuticals, or perishable items, our refrigerated trucks keep your cargo at the right temperature.
Available in different sizes and temperature ranges.
Truck Hire with or Without a Driver
We understand that every client’s needs are different. That’s why we offer flexible truck hire options that include:
Self-Drive Truck Hire
If you or someone on your team has the correct licence and experience, you can drive the vehicle yourself. This option gives you maximum flexibility and can help reduce costs.
Truck Hire with a Driver
Prefer to leave the driving to the pros? We can provide an experienced, licensed driver to handle the transport for you. It’s one less thing for you to worry about.
Who Do We Work With?
Our services are trusted by a wide range of clients, from private individuals to national corporations.
Individuals
Need to move house, clear out a garage, or transport furniture? Hiring a truck is often more affordable and convenient than hiring a moving company.
Small to Medium Businesses
Whether you’re a local builder, caterer, event planner, or shop owner—reliable transport is key to running your business smoothly. Let us help you stay mobile without the financial commitment of owning a truck.
Corporates
We understand the scale and urgency of corporate logistics. That’s why we offer dedicated account management and tailored rental solutions to meet your operational requirements.
Simple, Hassle-Free Booking Process
At Book-A-Bakkie, we pride ourselves on keeping things simple. Here’s how our process works:

Safety First
Our fleet is regularly serviced to meet strict road safety standards. Each vehicle goes through pre-rental checks to ensure that it’s clean, roadworthy, and ready for use.
As a fact—according to South African road regulations, all commercial trucks used for rental must meet a minimum roadworthy standard. At Book-A-Bakkie, we exceed that standard with every truck.
