❓ Frequently Asked Questions – Car Shipping to Kenya
How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car to Kenya from the USA?
In general, shipping a car to Kenya costs between $1,500 and $3,600. However, the final price depends on several key factors. Specifically, vehicle size, shipping method (RoRo or container), pickup location, and the U.S. departure port all influence overall pricing. For instance, larger SUVs, trucks, or vans may cost more due to space and weight requirements.
What Is the Cheapest Way to Ship a Car to Kenya?
In most situations, RoRo (Roll-On/Roll-Off) shipping is the most affordable option for vehicles that run and drive. Because RoRo involves minimal handling and no container usage, it typically results in lower shipping costs and faster port processing. As a result, many customers choose RoRo whenever their vehicle qualifies.
How Long Does It Take to Ship a Car to Kenya?
On average, transit time from the United States to Kenya ranges from 4 to 7 weeks. That said, vessel schedules, transshipment routing, and customs clearance procedures can affect delivery timelines. Therefore, preparing documentation early helps keep the shipment moving smoothly.
What Are Kenya’s Car Import Rules and Restrictions?
Before shipping, it is essential to understand Kenya’s import requirements. In summary:
-
Vehicles must meet the 8-year age limit and comply with KEBS standards
-
Import duties and taxes are calculated based on CIF value (Cost, Insurance, and Freight)
-
Customs clearance must be completed through a licensed clearing agent
Most importantly, accurate documentation before arrival helps prevent delays, penalties, and unexpected costs.
Should I Choose RoRo or Container Shipping?

Accordingly, our team reviews your vehicle details and budget to help you select the most suitable shipping method.
