Meet Paul
Paul is the owner and driver behind Happy Ride, dedicated to providing safe, reliable, and professional transport services across Cape Town.

Whether it’s an airport transfer, scenic tour, or transporting your beloved pet to the vet, groomer, or kennels, you can count on Paul to ensure every trip is comfortable, stress-free, and handled with the utmost care. His friendly nature, attention to detail, and commitment to exceptional service have earned the trust of both passengers and pet owners alike.
Paul, the owner of Happy Ride, is the most helpful man on the planet! I recently fractured my knee and could not drive. Paul drove me to and from work for 8 weeks, patiently changing pick up times at very short notice numerous times. He is super reliable, and we have been relying on him for all transport since. I cannot recommend his services highly enough!!
Luke Malan. — Business Traveler
I travel frequently to Cape Town to see my family, and the next step after booking my flight is always to book Paul. He has been excellent every time, both for airport transfers and for getting around locally. He is always on time, drives very safely, and has a very nice, comfortable car. What stands out most is how positive, helpful and reliable he is in every way. It’s clear he really cares about his clients and provides a professional, stress-free service. I would highly recommend Paul and Happy Ride to anyone looking for dependable transport in Cape Town.
Maria Tkachenko. — Airport Transfers
Paul offers an airport shuttle service to my Airbnb guests. He is professional, friendly , reliable and goes that extra mile - he assists them in retrieving their keys from my key safe box, helps carry their bags up the stairs to the apartment, and makes sure they’re settled in before leaving. He definitely adds value to my guests’ overall experience!
