Port Elizabeth Airport transfers
Private transfers to Plettenberg Bay and Knysna, door to door, met in arrivals.
Port Elizabeth Airport transfers with Gecko are private and door to door, to Plettenberg Bay or Knysna. The vehicle is yours alone, the rate covers the whole party rather than each seat, and your driver is waiting in the arrivals terminal when you land. Gqeberha is the eastern gateway to the Garden Route and the drive to Plett takes roughly two and a half hours.

How it works
1. Send your flight details. Transfers are arranged by enquiry rather than booked online, so tell us the flight, the date and the number of passengers and we confirm the vehicle and the rate back to you.
2. Your driver confirms on WhatsApp. The day before you travel, your driver makes contact so you know exactly who is meeting you.
3. Met in arrivals, door to door. Your driver is waiting in the arrivals terminal when you land and takes you straight to your accommodation.
Getting further along the Garden Route
Port Elizabeth sits at the eastern end of the Garden Route, so most people arriving there are working westwards. Once you are in Plettenberg Bay or Knysna, the scheduled Gecko shuttle links both towns with George, Mossel Bay and Cape Town, with a seat booked per person. Every stop and time is on the shuttle service page.
Arriving into Gqeberha for the Otter Trail? We run dedicated Otter Trail transfers from Port Elizabeth Airport to Storms River Mouth and Nature’s Valley, priced per person rather than per vehicle.
