We understand that every customer has unique needs and preferences. That’s why we offer a range of flexible shipping options to suit your specific requirements:
RORO (ROLL-ON, ROLL-OFF) SHIPPING TO KENYA
If you want the most affrodable car shipping to Mombasa, RoRo is the ideal choice. Your car is carefully driven onto the ship, kept secure throughout the journey, and delivered off the vessel when it arrives. Perfect for:
- Cars, SUVs, and vans
- Trucks and car transporters: see our dedicated truck shipping to Kenya service
- Standard or used vehicles
CONTAINER CAR TO SHIPPING TO KENYA
We offer container car shipping to Kenya for customers who want maximum protection for their vehicle throughout the voyage. Your car is loaded and secured inside a sealed 20ft or 40ft container, shielding it from weather, salt air, and handling damage during transit to Mombasa.
Container car shipping can be particularly suitable for high-value, classic or specialist vehicles, or where a customer has additional goods to ship.
If you are shipping household goods or personal effects as the main part of your shipment, see our dedicated container shipping to Kenya page.

MARINE INSURANCE FOR CAR SHIPPING TO KENYA

HOW TO PREPARE YOUR VEHICLE FOR SHIPPING TO KENYA
Proper preparation reduces the risk of delays during inspection and loading.
Before your vehicle departs the UK, make sure to:
- Clean the vehicle thoroughly, inside and out
- Remove all personal belongings
- Leave the fuel tank below a quarter full for safety during transit
- Check that the vehicle is in full working order, since a non-running car may require container shipping rather than RoRo
- Keep spare keys ready to hand over at collection
- Have your documentation organised and easily accessible for customs officials and port staff
RESTRICTED ITEMS FOR CAR SHIPPING TO KENYA
Certain items cannot be left inside the vehicle when arranging car shipping to Kenya.
Restricted items include:
- Flammable liquids

- Weapons or illegal items
- Undeclared household goods
Removing restricted items ensures compliance with international shipping safety regulations and smooth customs clearance in Kenya.
