About this supplier

LCS Bus Hire delivers professional coach and bus hire across Johannesburg and Gauteng, backed by a national network. Operating in the tourism, events and bus charter industry, the company supplies vehicle, coach and bus hire as part of a complete charter management service. Cape Town based with established partners in major cities, LCS supports bookings throughout South Africa while focusing strongly on Gauteng and Johannesburg.

Through LCS Atlantic, the fleet marketing and operating arm of the business, the company has direct access and control to operate and market a fleet of 34 buses. Options range from 14 and 18 seaters through 21 to 28, 36 to 40, 44 and 52 seat configurations, in both luxury and mid luxury classes. This breadth of choice makes it possible to match transport precisely to group size and trip requirements, from intimate outings to large scale movements for tours, conferences and events.

LCS handles all aspects of charter management, which means attention to the planning and coordination that sits behind reliable group transport. The offering spans bus hire, luxury coach rental, coach charter, tour bus hire, shuttle services and broader event transportation. Whether moving guests between venues or supporting multi day itineraries, the focus is on seamless execution that aligns with the client’s schedule.

The company’s services are geared to a wide client base. These include inbound and sports tour operators, conference and events companies, corporates, schools and universities. Sports clubs, associations and institutions, churches and government departments are also regularly supported. Private hire for functions is available, making the fleet suitable for celebrations, community gatherings and other special occasions where group road transport is required.

Johannesburg and Gauteng are central to LCS Bus Hire’s growth plans. The business is in the process of opening a satellite office in Gauteng, with buses to be allocated to the region once permit applications are approved. This development, combined with very competitive rates, is intended to further strengthen an already high level of service delivery for clients in and around Johannesburg.

While anchored in Cape Town, LCS operates nationally through long standing relationships with partners in Johannesburg, Durban, Port Elizabeth, Bloemfontein and Polokwane. This footprint supports consistent charter coordination across provinces, from single day movements to extended tours that cross regional boundaries, without compromising on the management standards that underpin the service.

Founded in 2010 after the Soccer World Cup, LCS Bus Hire is led by Niel van Wyk, who has been in the industry since 1996. His background includes driving tour buses while completing a BCom in Transport Economics at UNISA, managing the Cape Town depot for Translux, and heading operations at Intercape Mainliner. He later served as Charter Manager at iKapa Tours, where he gained extensive experience in the tourism and events sector. During the 2010 World Cup he oversaw multimillion rand transport contracts involving a fleet of 200 buses and high profile clients such as Adidas and Match Events. Partner Hannelie van Wyk leads marketing and communication, helping ensure clients feel supported and reassured throughout the process.

The combination of experienced leadership, a controlled fleet across multiple capacities and comprehensive charter management makes LCS Bus Hire a practical choice for group road transport in Johannesburg, Gauteng and beyond. From tour operations to large events and private functions, the service is structured to accommodate varied itineraries and stakeholder needs, with an emphasis on dependable delivery across South Africa.

View Africa is a phenomenal company to work with I have used them for two tours now and I will continue to use them. Their buses are comfortable and reliable. Their drivers always arrive before the time and are reliable. Samatha Jade has be incredible she has helped me book and manage both tours. She is understanding, always takes my s and she always willing to help me. Its a pleasure working with her.

Unfortunately we do not assist with this type of services due to bad past experiences.
Sorry we were unable to assist.

Not willing to send me a quote because it is a bachelor party. We just need transport from one venue to another so that no one needs to drink and drive. There s never any intention to drink on the bus, we literally just need transport. If you have a company policy, I sign for it and if we break the rules you can hold me accountable and charge me for it. But you rather decide to discriminate and assume that we will not respect your company policy. If I said it s for a corporate outing you would accept. Just because it's a corporate outing does not mean that people on the bus won't break your company policies. Obviously View Africa is not interested in doing any business.

If I'm driving 120 in the fast lane, and a bus (with a sticker on the back that proclaims it's not allowed to drive faster than a 100) passes me in the left lane, cuts in front of me and then drives so fast that I don't have time to memorize its number plate, I just know that I will never trust the company to transport me safely. Reckless driving that has, apparently, been reported before. The fact that nobody addressed the issue says a lot about management.

View Africa Charter bus just careered down Kloof nek road in Cape Town and crashed into barriers and bus top. Very unsafe.

This is by far the worst company ive ever hired transport from! A ste of time and money and I'll never recommend them to anyone. I hired a 19 seater, they brought a 28 seater that s making noise all the y from Pretoria to Polokwane. They put our lives at risk by sending us a driver who had no idea how to operate the minibus let alone drive it properly. The bus s shaking and stuttering at every stop and go, by the toll gates and when he slowed down on the freeway. He arrived late and as a result we left 30 minutes past the scheduled departure time and he didn't even know his y to get to our office. I feel that the company took us on a ride! Pun intended! They advertised a bus with air conditioning, music and a fridge but we didn't get any of those on this minibus. The driver himself even told me that the minibus s not serviced and it s in need of maintanance. I am utterly dissapointed at View Africa coaches and Samantha whom I feel had lied to us, they over promised but under delivered. Never again will I ever use their services

Drivers dont care about passengers on-board, overtaking on double white lines.

Very uncool to park blocking everyone trying to get out of Storms River Mouth. Extremely Inconsiderate behaviour.
