Shipping a car from the UK to Kenya involves several cost factors that depend on the vehicle’s size, weight, and the shipping method chosen. On average, the cost for standard car shipping ranges between £850 and £1,200 for Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo) services, which are often the most affordable option. For those preferring a more secure method, container shipping is available, typically costing between £1,500 and £2,500, depending on the container size and whether it’s shared or dedicated.

In addition to shipping charges, there may be extra expenses such as UK port fees, marine insurance, vehicle handling charges in Mombasa, and customs clearance costs. Once the car arrives in Kenya, import duties, VAT, and other levies will apply as per Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) regulations. These costs are calculated based on the car’s customs value, engine size, and age.
