Port Elizabeth (PE) is a coastal city that is based in the Eastern Cape. Port Elizabeth is one of the biggest cities in South Africa! The cities name is often shortened to PE and nicknamed "The Friendly City" or "The Windy City". PE was founded in 1820 by British settlers.

In any city there will be a demand for reliable transport. There are many forms of transport available in Port Elizabeth, but today we would like to talk about transportation with a bakkie.

What is a bakkie? If you are a proud South African, you will know what a bakkie is. A Bakkie is a pickup truck or a small utility vehicle that has a deck on the rear of the vehicle to pack and secure items for transportation. South Africa owns the term "Bakkie" Nowhere else in the world is a bakkie referred to as a bakkie. A bakkie is truly a proudly South African word for a pickup truck!

Many South Africans in Port Elizabeth own a bakkie and will never give their bakkie up for anything. But many do not own a bakkie and from time to time they will need one, and this is where Book-A-Bakkie comes in.

A bakkie is an ideal vehicle to transport small to medium loads. They come in handy for intercity house or office movies, deliveries or to move equipment. But if you or your company does not have a bakkie, what do you do? There is a solution through bakkie hire.

Hiring a bakkie in Port Elizabeth can be tricky as not all vehicle rental companies will hire a truck directly to the public or to SME's. They prefer to hold account with large companies as they simply make more money with them on an on-going basis.

This is what sets Book-A-Bakkie aside from the rest! We specialise is providing custom bakkie hire solutions in Port Elizabeth on a short or long term directly to the public and to SME's.
