A full-time Shuttle Driver opportunity is available in Hoedspruit, for a driver who enjoys working with guests, knows how to keep a journey safe and on time, and is comfortable with long-distance driving. The position is live-out, and the salary is stated as R9,500 to R10,500 per month, depending on experience.
About the company and the work
The vacancy is listed by Job Placements, an agency, on Gumtree South Africa. The work is based in the Hoedspruit area and is closely linked to tourism and guest travel. Shuttle drivers in this kind of role are often the first and last people guests meet on their trip, so a calm, friendly, and professional manner matters as much as good driving.
Trips include local journeys around Hoedspruit as well as airport transfers to and from OR Tambo, so the role suits someone who is happy to spend long periods on the road and to plan carefully around flight and activity times.
Role details and duties
The driver’s main responsibilities, as stated in the original listing, are:
- Transporting guests on trips to activities and tourist attractions in and around Hoedspruit.
- Conducting airport transfers, collecting guests from OR Tambo and delivering them to lodges in the Hoedspruit area.
- Returning guests to OR Tambo at the end of their stay.
- Collecting the vehicle from the depot ahead of scheduled trips.
- Ensuring safe driving and punctual pick-ups and drop-offs.
- Providing a warm, professional guest experience throughout each journey.
This is a live-out position. The driver is expected to have own transport to reach the depot and collect the vehicle.
Requirements
Only the criteria stated in the original listing are set out below:
- Previous experience as a shuttle driver.
- A valid driver’s licence and PDP, which are essential.
- South African citizenship.
- Living in or around Hoedspruit, including Kampersrus, Acornhoek, or Bushbuckridge.
- Own transport to reach the depot and collect the vehicle.
- Comfort with long-distance driving, including trips to OR Tambo.
- A professional, punctual, and friendly manner, with good guest service skills.
- A qualified guide qualification would be advantageous, but it is not listed as essential.
Where to find and apply safely
This post is an information summary only. The original advertisement is on Gumtree South Africa, and the Apply button on this page links directly to that original listing. Always apply through the original advertiser’s own application route on that page.
Be cautious with any message that asks you to pay a fee to secure a job, or that asks for banking details before an interview. A genuine employer or agency will not need payment from you to consider your application.
Practical tips
Before you apply, make sure your driver’s licence and PDP are valid and ready to show, and be clear about where you live in relation to Hoedspruit and the depot. Highlight shuttle or guest-transport experience on your CV, and mention any experience with airport transfers, long-distance routes, or guest service.
It also helps to think through the practical side of the job: early starts, long days, and keeping guests comfortable and informed on the road. If you hold a guide qualification, mention it, as the advertiser notes it would be an advantage.

Use the Apply button on this page to open the original Gumtree listing. Read the full advertisement there, follow the application instructions given by the advertiser, and submit only the information requested.
