UrgentGo offers two speed tiers: 2-Hour Express (from R160) and 4-Hour Standard (from R95). Both come with real-time GPS tracking, SMS updates, digital proof of delivery, and full parcel insurance. The service covers all five Johannesburg metro regions: Northern suburbs (Sandton, Fourways, Midrand), CBD and surrounds (Braamfontein, Newtown), East Rand (Germiston, Boksburg, Benoni, Kempton Park), West Rand (Roodepoort, Krugersdorp), and Soweto. Unlike overnight couriers, same-day couriers use dedicated point-to-point routing with motorcycles and vans — no consolidation hubs, no overnight warehousing.

2-Hour Express vs 4-Hour Standard — which same-day speed do I need?
2-Hour Express is best for legal filings, medical samples, and critical documents. 4-Hour Standard is ideal for ecommerce, business parcels, and non-urgent same-day deliveries.
The 2-Hour Express option guarantees delivery within 2 hours of pickup and is ideal for time-critical deliveries: legal document filings at the Johannesburg High Court, urgent medical samples between hospitals and labs, last-minute tender submissions, property transfer documents, and emergency spare parts. The 4-Hour Standard option guarantees delivery within 4 hours and is perfect for: ecommerce order fulfilment across Gauteng, regular business parcels and inter-office transfers, personal deliveries, and non-urgent document deliveries. Both options include live tracking, SMS updates, and proof of delivery. The 2-Hour Express uses dedicated motorcycle couriers for fastest transit through Joburg traffic.
