How It Works

Understanding Car Import Prices from Japan to Kenya

All prices shown on this page are CIF Mombasa estimates — that's the cost of the vehicle plus insurance and sea freight to Mombasa port. To calculate the total price you'll pay to drive the car in Nairobi, add KRA import duties which are approximately 1.6× to 1.9× the CIF price depending on engine size, age, and current excise rates.

Tuminion sources vehicles directly from Japanese auctions — not through middlemen. Every car comes with the original auction inspection sheet showing verified mileage, interior and exterior condition grades, and full equipment specification. We handle the entire process from bidding to Nairobi delivery, typically in 6–10 weeks.

Quick Cost Formula

Total Nairobi Price ≈ CIF Price × 1.7 (average). For example, a car with CIF KES 2,000,000 will cost approximately KES 3,400,000 landed in Nairobi including all KRA duties, VAT, IDF, and transport. Call +254 716 121 416 for an exact breakdown.

Why Japan?

Why Kenyans Import Cars from Japan

Lower Mileage

Japanese cars typically have 30,000–80,000 km — far less than locally available used vehicles with 150,000+ km.

Better Condition

Japan's strict vehicle inspection system (shaken) means cars are maintained to a higher standard than most markets worldwide.

Competitive Pricing

Auction-sourced vehicles cut out dealership markups. Even with shipping and duties, total cost is often lower than buying locally.

Verified History

Every auction vehicle comes with an independent inspection sheet — verified mileage, condition grades, and equipment list. No odometer fraud.
