Q:Is it cheaper to ship a car or drive?
Budget: The shorter the distance, the more cost-effective it is to drive instead of ship your car. Regardless of the total distance, look at your total moving budget and how much you can afford to spend on car shipping services compared to a cross-country drive.
Q:What is the cheapest way to ship a car internationally?
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.
Q:Is it cheaper to import or buy a car in Kenya?
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.
