Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Indianapolis, Indiana to Nairobi

Yes, you can import used cars from the USA, but they must meet specific age and compliance regulations set by Kenyan authorities. Always confirm eligibility before proceeding with the import.

The cheapest international car shipping method is usually Roll-on/Roll-off (RORO), where vehicles are driven onto specialized ships, costing around $900-$2500+ but leaving cars exposed; for better protection, consolidated container shipping (sharing a container) is more affordable than dedicated containers, while air freight is the fastest but most expensive, best for luxury or rare vehicles, so compare RORO vs. shared containers for budget, destination, and vehicle value to find your cheapest option.

Age of the Vehicle: Kenya allows the importation of vehicles that are eight years old or newer from the year of manufacture. For instance, in 2024, you can only import vehicles manufactured in 2017 and onwards. Roadworthiness: Vehicles must pass a roadworthiness inspection prior to shipping.
