Stellenbosch notes on roadside, recovery & transport
At the end of each university year many students book car transport home to Gauteng, the Eastern Cape or Namibia, and trailer hire for furniture runs between Kayamandi, town and Somerset West fills up. Wine estates call for help with stuck farm vehicles on wet vineyard tracks in winter. If a car breaks down on the R310 or R44, get off the road and behind any barrier while you wait.
Stellenbosch on the road
Stellenbosch is a university town ringed by wine farms, and its towing work follows students, tourists and farm traffic on narrow roads. The R44 to Somerset West and Klapmuts, the R310 over Helshoogte to Franschhoek and towards the N2, and the R304 to the N1 are busy wine routes with tight bends, cyclists and slow tractors. Students often need cars, bikes and scooters moved at the start and end of term, and wine estates move bins, tractors and forklifts. Winter rain makes Helshoogte slippery and summer heat stresses old cars in town traffic. Students, parents, estates, tourists and Technopark firms ask for tows, trailers and car transport here.
Typical car transport requests in the area come from:
- Motorists and families: a family car sent ahead when moving province, or a student's car to campus
- Farmers and 4x4 owners: a farm bakkie bought in another province delivered to the farm gate
- Caravan, boat and bike owners: a classic, track car or weekend 4x4 moved in an enclosed carrier to an event
