Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Jakarta to Nairobi

Q: Which country is best to import cars to Kenya? UK and Japan depending on the car make, brand and your wallet.

The cheapest way to ship a car internationally is generally Roll-on/Roll-off (RORO), where cars drive onto and off the ship, costing around $900-$2,500+ depending on destination, as it avoids packaging and crane costs. For more protection, Shared Container shipping (grouping cars) is the next cheapest, while booking through platforms like Shiply or using companies with price matching, like SGT Auto Transport or Sherpa, can also find competitive rates.

Local prices for luxury cars in Kenya can be higher than imported ones due to dealer markups and limited availability. However, imported vehicles may incur additional taxes that can offset price differences.
