Frequently asked questions
- Can any UAE car be registered in Kenya?
- Not necessarily - steering side, specification and age all matter. Ask us to confirm a specific car is suitable before you pay.
- How old can a car be to import into Kenya?
- Kenya generally allows used cars up to 8 years old, counted from the year of manufacture. Rules can change, so confirm the current limit before you buy - we only show cars that are in the eligible range.
- What does the price on the site include?
- Every listing shows the total in US dollars including the car, freight and insurance to Mombasa. Kenyan duties and taxes (import duty, excise, VAT and related levies) depend on the car's value, engine and age, and are handled with a licensed clearing agent - ask us for the final figure.
- How long does it take to import a car to Kenya?
- Once payment is confirmed the car is bought and shipped to the port of Mombasa. Shipping, port clearance and registration each take time, and exact timing depends on the source country and shipping schedules - we give you updates at each step.
