Both options take you from the airport to your accommodation. The difference is how much you know before you travel.
Taxis and shuttles
The ACSA page lists nine taxi and shuttle companies. It publishes no official tariff and no fares, so we give no price and do not name the companies. It does not say where the vehicles wait, and it gives no distance to the city. Contact the company you choose before you travel, and agree how the fare will be set, whether it is per vehicle or per person and what it includes.

Other destinations
Pre-booked private transfer
A pre-booked transfer is arranged before you fly, and the price is confirmed at booking. For comparison, the live price to Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth) City Centre is from EUR 30. The live price to Jeffreys Bay is from EUR 107. Use the quote tool on this page for other destinations, because the price depends on the route and the vehicle. Check your booking confirmation for the meeting point and for how flight delays are handled. If meet-and-greet is included in your booking, the driver meets you as stated there.
How to choose
Choose a listed taxi or shuttle if: you have arranged it in advance and agreed the fare and what it covers.
Choose a pre-booked transfer if: you want the price settled before you fly, you arrive late, you travel with children or many bags, or you are a group. Request a child seat at booking and give the child's age and weight, because no official statement on child seats was found.
No public transport
The page lists no public bus or train, so there is no public alternative to compare with.
