Ship Car To Kano

Car Shipping Kano

Situated in the Northern area of Nigeria, Kano is the capital of the Kano state, and is the second largest city after Lagos. It is the commercial and financial center of Nigeria. Despite the change towards modernity and capitalization, Nigeria as a whole is embroiled in religious and political tensions making it difficult to progress at a rate that people want. Though it has extensive roads, the condition of the roads can be improved. Public carrier is available but usually it is railways and water transportation, making personal vehicles a sought-after priority. Whether you are here on an extended trip or have permanent residency, having your personal vehicle is an advantage.

Cost & Time Examples For Hauling a Vehicle

*Prices and times are estimated. They can vary depending on the season and the type of vehicle.

*Save the ground carrier cost by delivering the vehicle to the nearest port.

*Allow an additional 10 days to process the documents.

*Prices are for 1 car in a dedicated 20ft container. This is the safest and most reliable way to haul a vehicle internationally. Other items may be included in the container to help save you money when moving.

Importing Vehicles to Kano.

Though plenty of documentation will be needed, the process of importing your vehicle from the USA to Nigeria is simple. Lagos is the port of entry and then the vehicle will be driven down to Kano. Working with international auto shipping services such as our A1 Auto Transports can be advantageous. Not only have we imported hundreds of vehicles to cities in Nigeria but understand the customs and law to make sure your car is delivered on time. However, to start the process, we will need these documents:

• Car title.
• Ownership proof/passport.
• Insurance documents.
• Chassis number, model, and manufacturer details.
• Emission checks and roadworthiness certificates.
• Bill of Lading.
• No liens on the vehicle.

However, it is essential to know that if your vehicle is 8 years or older, Nigerian law prevents entry to old cars. Thus, only if the car or vehicle is less than 8 years old, the shipping process can be executed.

Hauling and Delivery of Vehicles.

Although Kano is a landlocked city but after the customs duty at Nigeria Customs Service and other formalities are completed in Lagos, it can be driven down to Kano city. However, two methods are commonly used for hauling or exporting vehicles. These are:

• 20 feet/40 feet enclosed container: Your vehicle is enclosed along with other household goods or car accessories within an enclosed container and sealed. It is harnessed for safety and prevents damage during the voyage. It is more expensive to ship your vehicle by enclosed container but safer.
• Roll-On/Roll-Off: This is the cheaper method of importing your motorcar or vehicle. The car is driven over a ramp and secured within the ship along with other vehicles. However, for security reasons, the car needs to be stripped off everything except floor mats, spare tire, and jack. Shipping requirements include removing all air conditioning gas and ensuring that the vehicle is cleaned so that there is no quarantine at the Lagos port.
