Shipping

Reliable, Transparent, and Hassle-Free Vehicle Shipping Worldwide

Our Shipping Services:

We provide two primary shipping methods to suit different requirements:

RoRo Shipping (Roll-on/Roll-off)

RoRo shipping is the most cost-effective and popular option for individual vehicle imports. Your car is driven directly onto a specialized vessel and secured for transport. This method is ideal for operational vehicles in good condition. RoRo typically takes 25-35 days depending on destination and involves minimal packaging, making it an economical choice for most buyers.

Container Shipping

For maximum protection and peace of mind, container shipping places your vehicle inside a sealed 20-foot or 40-foot container. This method shields your car from weather, salt spray, and handling damage during transit. Container shipping is preferred for luxury vehicles, classics, or high-value imports. Transit time is similar to RoRo (25-40 days), but offers superior protection at a higher cost.

Shipping Timeline:

From the moment your vehicle is purchased at auction to delivery at your destination port, the typical timeframe is 25-40 days. This includes:

  • Inspection and documentation (1-2 days)
  • Port preparation and loading (2-3 days)
  • Transit to destination (20-30 days)
  • Customs clearance upon arrival (1-5 days)

Exact timeline varies based on your destination port, shipping method chosen, and customs processing speed in your country.

  • East Africa (Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe)

Shipping Cost Calculation:

Shipping costs are calculated based on three factors:

  1. Vehicle Size: Measured in cubic meters (M3). Smaller vehicles cost less than larger SUVs or trucks.
  2. Destination Port: Distance and port charges vary by location. Remote destinations may incur additional fees.
  3. Shipping Method: RoRo is typically 40-50% cheaper than container shipping for the same route.

Upon purchasing your vehicle at auction, we provide a detailed shipping quote including all costs: base freight, insurance, port charges, and handling fees. No hidden charges, ever.
