FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do you collect and drop off bikes in Gauteng only?

We don't limit our bike collection and drop-off services to Gauteng only! While Gauteng is our primary area for all races listed on our website, we also offer services in other provinces for select races.

You can find the specific cycling shops where we collect and drop off bikes in Limpopo, Mpumalanga, KwaZulu Natal, Free State, Eastern Cape, and Western Cape on our website. For added convenience, we also provide a door-to-door collection and drop-off service for an additional fee.

Where will we be collect and drop off our bicycles at the race venue?

Bike Collection & Drop-Off at Race Venues

We'll share the exact location for bicycle collection and drop-off at each race venue.

Generally, you can expect collection to be close to race registration and drop-off to be near the race finish, if not directly within the race village itself.

How will I know where my bike is, where the trailer is and how will I stay informed?

To stay informed about your bike's location, including the trailer's whereabouts, you'll want to save Barend van Heerden's number, 082 571 5557, to your phone contacts.

We'll create a WhatsApp group for each event to share real-time locations and crucial updates. Please note, this will be an admin-only group for important announcements. If you need more specific information, you can always contact Barend directly.

Can anyone collect my bicycle at the collection points?

No, for security reasons, only the registered owner can collect their bicycle at the designated collection points.

To pick up your bike(s), you'll need to present your ID or driver's license and sign the collection register. We cannot release any bicycle without valid proof of identification.

Are the bicycles insured for the transport and handeling?

No, your bicycles are not insured by VIP Bicycle Transport and Logistics.

It's your responsibility as our valued customer to secure sufficient insurance coverage for your bike(s) while they are in our custody. We strongly advise you to properly insure your bicycle and inform your insurance company that it will be transported and handled by a logistics company.

While VIP Bicycle Transport and Logistics carries comprehensive and liability cover, this does not mean your bicycle(s) are fully insured. Our coverage addresses our legal liability as a carrier, but it is not "all risks" Goods in Transit (GIT) insurance that directly covers your property. Comprehensive cover, as with any insurance policy, always has specific risks and limitations as stipulated by insurance underwriters.

We are not involved in any way with providing insurance coverage for customer bicycles.

When is my booking secured?

Your booking is secured as soon as we receive full payment for the transportation. You'll then get a confirmation email and invoice from us.
