Questions

Before you ship

How much does it cost to ship a car from Australia to Kenya?
Shipping one car from Australia to Mombasa is from AUD 5,000 per car, conditions apply, depending on vessel schedule and vehicle size. Prices are valid to 31 December 2026. A whole container costs more but suits high-value vehicles. Run the pre-qualification above for a firm quote on the next sailing.
How long does it take?
Ocean transit from Australia to Mombasa runs about six to eight weeks port to port — roughly 42 days out of Brisbane and 48 out of Melbourne. Allow extra time for the KEBS inspection before sailing and customs clearance on arrival.
Can I ship a car older than 8 years?
Not into Kenya — the 8-year rule is enforced at registration. If your vehicle doesn't qualify, we can advise on alternatives such as shipping to other East African destinations with different age limits, or sourcing an eligible vehicle in Australia.
Do you handle customs clearance and inland delivery in Kenya?
Yes. We work with trusted clearing agents at the Port of Mombasa who handle KRA duty assessment and release, with optional transport to Nairobi, Eldoret, Kisumu and beyond. If you are a returning resident, see the full duty-free eligibility guide.
Can I put spare parts or personal items inside my car?
RoRo shipments must be empty apart from standard accessories. If you want to ship goods with your vehicle, a container is the right option — ask us about shared-container rates.
Is my shipment insured?
Marine insurance is available on every shipment and we strongly recommend it. Cover is quoted as a percentage of vehicle value and confirmed before sailing.
