Mobile billboards — Johannesburg
Mobile billboard advertising in Sandton
Sandton is the busiest commercial square mile in the country, and the traffic that feeds it every morning and evening is exactly where a mobile billboard earns its keep. We park branded billboard trailers on high-traffic Sandton routes from R200 a day, and move them four times a month.
Why Sandton works for a mobile billboard
The suburb pulls two very different audiences past a board: office workers commuting into the financial district on weekdays, and shoppers heading for the retail precincts on weekends. Sandton traffic is slow-moving at peak — which is good news for a billboard, because a driver stuck in traffic has time to read your whole message, not just glimpse it.
Where the boards park in Sandton
The positions that work hardest in Sandton are the commuter approaches into the CBD — Rivonia Road, Grayston Drive and Sandton Drive — where the morning crawl gives a board minutes of reading time, not seconds. Routes feeding in from Bryanston and Morningside catch the residential audience, and positions on the retail approaches around the Sandton City precinct work the weekend shopping traffic. We plan the exact spots around who you need to see the board.
Who advertises here
Estate agents, restaurants, gyms, private schools and professional services targeting Sandton households and office workers get the most out of boards here — businesses whose customers live or work within a few kilometres of the board.
Planning a Sandton campaign
Sandton rewards a two-audience plan: weekday boards on the office-commute approaches for professional services, recruitment and property, then repositions onto the retail routes for weekends. Because every campaign includes four moves a month, one board can work both patterns — commuter corridor one week, shopping precinct approach the next — with a photograph confirming each new position.
What a Sandton campaign includes
- — 4 trailer moves every month
- — Free setup
- — Weekly photo updates
- — Free third-party cover on a fully insured fleet
Rates run from R200 a day depending on campaign length, and most campaigns are live within 3 working days of artwork approval. See the full 2026 cost guide for what drives the price.
Straight answers about Sandton
Where do mobile billboards park in Sandton?+
On high-traffic public routes around the CBD and retail precinct — the Rivonia Road, Grayston Drive and Sandton Drive approaches, and the arterials feeding in from Bryanston and Morningside. We choose the positions with you based on your objective, and you receive a photo of the board on location every time it moves.
How much does billboard advertising in Sandton cost?+
The same fixed daily rate as the rest of our fleet: R200 to R285 per day depending on campaign length — roughly R6,000 to R8,550 a month — including printing, setup, four repositions a month, photo reporting and insurance. Sandton positions carry no premium.
Does a trailer stand out in an area with as much advertising as Sandton?+
Yes — most Sandton advertising is high above the road on gantries and building wraps. A trailer sits at eye level beside stopped peak-hour traffic, and because it moves four times a month it keeps appearing where it was not before, which is exactly what gets a board noticed.
