Q:Can I import a car from the USA to Kenya?
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.
Q:What is the cheapest way to ship a car internationally?
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.
Q:Can I take my car to Kenya?
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.

Professional Piano Movers

Q:How much does it cost to have movers move a piano?
Piano mover costs typically range from $200-$400 for a simple local upright move to $1,000-$2,000 for long-distance or grand pianos, with potential extra fees for stairs, elevators, or disassembly adding $5-$10 per step or $100-$200 for complex jobs, depending on the piano's size, distance, and logistical challenges like stairs or narrow hallways.
Q:Is a piano dolly better than hiring movers?
A piano dolly helps with short, flat moves but hiring professional piano movers is almost always better for safety, preventing costly damage (like a cracked soundboard or ruined floors), and handling stairs/tight spots, as they have specialized equipment, experience, and insurance for these heavy, delicate instruments. While a dolly saves money upfront, the risk of injury or significant repair costs usually outweighs the cost of professionals, especially for valuable or grand pianos.
Q:How to move a piano cheaply?
Call your local piano store and see who they recommend to move it, as their piano mover may be cheaper than the house movers. I actually found this to be true when I moved my piano. Also, check with your local thrift stores that deal with large furniture, such as the Restore.
