1. Vehicle Sourcing
We Source Only Quality Vehicles
Finding the right vehicle is the most important part of the import process. We don’t simply buy the first vehicle that matches your request. We carefully evaluate multiple units before recommending the best option based on condition, mileage, history, and value for money.
Before we buy, we review every detail to ensure you’re getting exactly what you’re paying for.
✓ Verified Japanese auction reports
✓ Genuine mileage verification
✓ Accident and repair history review
✓ Auction grade assessment
✓ Service history where available
✓ Photos and condition report shared before purchase
Did you know? Every vehicle imported through Cars Kenya is selected from verified Japanese auctions or licensed dealers. We never purchase vehicles without reviewing their history first.
2. Professional Inspection
Every Vehicle is Inspected Before Shipping
Every vehicle undergoes a thorough inspection before it leaves Japan. We compare its physical condition against the auction report and verify that everything meets our quality standards.
Nothing is left to chance.
✓ Engine condition
✓ Transmission performance
✓ Suspension
✓ Interior condition
✓ Exterior body inspection
✓ Electronics and accessories
✓ Tyres and wheels
✓ Underbody inspection
Why it matters: Auction reports don’t always tell the full story. That’s why we verify the vehicle’s actual condition before it’s shipped. If a vehicle doesn’t meet our standards, we simply don’t buy it.
3. Shipping to Kenya
Safe & Fully Documented Shipping
Once your vehicle is purchased, we arrange secure shipping from Japan to the Port of Mombasa. Throughout the journey, you’ll receive regular updates so you always know where your vehicle is.
Every shipment includes all required export documentation
and marine insurance for added peace of mind.
✓ Shipping arranged by trusted carriers
✓ Marine insurance
✓ Export documentation
✓ Shipment tracking updates
✓ Typical transit time: 4–5 weeks
Peace of mind: You’ll receive updates at key milestones, so you’re never left wondering where your vehicle is.
4. Customs Clearance & Registration
We Handle All the Paperwork
Import regulations can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to deal with them yourself.
Our experienced clearing team manages the entire process, ensuring your vehicle complies with Kenyan regulations and is ready for registration.
✓ Customs clearance
✓ Import duty processing
✓ KRA documentation
✓ NTSA registration
✓ Number plate processing
✓ Compliance checks
Good to know: We take care of the customs process, taxes, registration, and number plates, so you don’t have to navigate government offices yourself.
5. Delivery & Handover
Your Vehicle, Ready to Drive
Before handover, every vehicle receives a final quality check to ensure everything is complete.
We then hand over your fully registered vehicle or deliver it directly to your preferred location anywhere in Kenya.
✓ Fully registered
✓ Professionally cleaned
✓ Final quality inspection
✓ Ready to drive immediately
✓ Nationwide delivery available
Final check: We don’t hand over your vehicle until it’s registered, inspected, and ready to drive.
Congratulations! Your import journey is complete.
