Find it on AutoTrader.
We bring it home.
You already know how to shop for a car. Browse AutoTrader South Africa or Cars.co.za, pick the exact Fortuner or Hilux you want, and send us the listing. We negotiate the purchase, inspect it, fly it in, clear customs, and deliver it to your door in Nairobi — in about 2 weeks, not the 6–10 weeks a sea freight import usually takes.
Not as unusual as it sounds
Most vehicle imports into Kenya come from Japan. South Africa is a smaller-known route here — but for the Fortuner and Hilux specifically, it's a genuinely strong one, for reasons that hold up to scrutiny.
Built right-hand drive, factory spec
Toyota manufactures the Fortuner and Hilux in South Africa for right-hand-drive markets — the same drive configuration as Kenya. No conversion, no grey-market rework.
A genuinely deep marketplace
AutoTrader South Africa alone carries hundreds of Fortuner and Hilux listings at any given time — a far larger, more liquid market than most buyers expect.
Shorter route than it looks on a map
Air freight from South Africa lands in Nairobi in about 2 weeks — faster than a typical Japan import, which usually takes 6 to 10 weeks by sea.
South African market discipline
Vehicles are sold with documented service history and inspected to DEKRA standards before they change hands — a level of documentation not every source market offers as standard.
Five steps, one point of contact
You handle the part you're good at — finding the car. We handle everything after that.
You find the vehicle
Browse AutoTrader South Africa or Cars.co.za and pick the exact Fortuner or Hilux — spec, mileage, colour, all of it — that you want. Share the listing link with us and we take care of the rest.
Send us the listing
Share the link on WhatsApp. We calculate the full landed cost — vehicle, duty, and shipping — before you commit to anything.
DEKRA inspects, we secure it
DEKRA independently inspects the vehicle and we confirm its documented service history. Once you approve, we negotiate and finalize the purchase.
Air freight and customs clearance
We fly the vehicle directly to Nairobi and handle full KRA customs clearance, including duty payment and documentation — much faster than sea freight.
Delivered to Nairobi
The vehicle arrives at our Karen office, ready for collection or door delivery, with all paperwork in order.
Starting with Fortuner and Hilux
The two models with the strongest local demand and the clearest value on import — where we've built the deepest sourcing experience.
Toyota Fortuner
Ladder-frame, Hilux-derived toughness with family-ready practicality. The default choice for buyers who want one vehicle that handles both city and rough road.
Toyota Hilux
The vehicle the Fortuner is built on. Proven reliability for work, farm, and long-distance use, with a resale value that holds up better than almost anything else in its class.
What a real landed price looks like
No rounded estimates — these are actual cost breakdowns from vehicles we've recently sourced and imported.
You keep control of the choice
The usual import model asks you to trust a dealer's stock. This one doesn't.
You choose the exact vehicle
Not a similar one, not "something like it" — the specific listing you found, inspected and verified before purchase.
Full cost before you commit
Purchase price, duty, and shipping — broken down, not bundled into a vague "landed cost" figure you can't verify.
DEKRA-inspected, service history included
Every vehicle is independently inspected by DEKRA before purchase, and comes with its documented service history — not just a seller's word.
One office, one contact
Based at Heri Plaza, Karen. Every step tracked and communicated through a single WhatsApp thread.
Before you send a listing
How do I choose the vehicle?
You browse AutoTrader South Africa or Cars.co.za yourself and pick the exact Fortuner or Hilux you want — spec, colour, mileage, all of it. Send us the listing link on WhatsApp and we take it from there.
How long does the import take?
About 2 weeks from purchase confirmation to delivery in Nairobi. We ship by air freight rather than sea, which is significantly faster than a typical sea freight import.
What does the landed cost include?
Vehicle purchase price, KRA import duty and taxes, and shipping and documentation. This is the full cost to get the vehicle legally registered and delivered in Kenya.
Is the vehicle inspected before purchase?
Yes. Every vehicle is independently inspected by DEKRA before we finalize purchase, and comes with its documented service history, so you know its real condition before money changes hands.
Can I get a savings estimate before committing?
Yes. Send us the listing and we'll calculate the full landed cost using our KRA duty calculator, so you can compare it against local Kenyan market prices before deciding.
What if I don't know which listing to pick?
Send us a few options and we'll help you compare landed cost, condition, and mileage before you decide which one to pursue.
