Checkers Sixty60 still cheaper as fuel prices rise

• Based on AA rates, using Checkers Sixty60 saves customers up to R42 per trip
• Sixty60's R36 delivery fee will remain unchanged, despite the April fuel price hike.

For many households, the real cost of driving is already higher than they think. Calculations using the Automobile Association's current vehicle rates show that a typical 7.5km round trip - the average return journey for a Checkers Sixty60 delivery - can cost significantly more than the R36 delivery fee.

Based on South Africa's three most popular cars, using coastal prices:

• A Volkswagen Polo Vivo running on petrol costs roughly R51.30 per trip at R6.84 per km.
• A Ford Ranger running on diesel costs roughly R66.37 per trip at R8.85 per km.
• A Toyota Hilux running on diesel costs roughly R78.37 per trip at R10.45 per km.

By comparison, Checkers Sixty60's R36 delivery fee means customers could save up to R42 per trip, depending on the vehicle. These savings margins are set to increase even more, as Sixty60's delivery fee will remain unchanged despite the April fuel price hikes.

Instead, Checkers will continue to absorb rising fuel costs within its delivery network, including adjusting rider fuel subsidies in line with monthly price changes.

Since launching nearly 7 years ago, the Sixty60 delivery fee has increased by just R1, from R35 in 2019 to R36 in 2025.
