Craving a weekend escape from the Mother City but dreading the petrol costs or the hassle of driving alone? You’re not the only one. Cape Town is surrounded by world-class destinations—from the vineyards of Franschhoek to the coastal charm of Hermanus—but getting there can be a barrier for many.
That’s where CrabaRide steps in.
We’ve seen a huge spike in weekend trips being booked through our WhatsApp platform, and it makes perfect sense. Why drive solo to Stellenbosch for a wine tasting when you can share a ride (and the cost) with others headed the same way? Not only is it cheaper, but it’s also safer and more social.
Here are some of the top weekend routes our users are loving right now:
- Cape Town to Hermanus: Perfect for whale watching (in season) or just breathing in that fresh ocean air.
- Cape Town to Langebaan: A kite-surfer’s paradise and a great spot for a relaxed beach weekend.
- Cape Town to Stellenbosch/Franschhoek: The ultimate food and wine destination, just an hour away.
- Cape Town to Garden Route: For those looking to go a bit further, we see plenty of rides heading towards George and Knysna on Fridays.
What makes CrabaRide different for these trips? It’s the flexibility. You’re not tied to a bus schedule. You’re communicating directly with your driver via WhatsApp, so you can agree on pickup spots that actually work for you.
And let’s be honest—split petrol costs mean you have more budget left over for the things that matter. Like that extra bottle of wine or a nice lunch with a view.
