Road route via Musina

Musina Cars for Sale

When you need a car this month, the South African road route through Musina beats waiting on ocean freight. Here is how it works and what to check before money moves.

Two ways to get a car through Musina

Buy from South Africa and drive it up. No container and no sea leg, because the car drives to Beitbridge. A South African car is quoted at South African market prices, and the import rules still apply because the car crosses a border.

Import to order from Japan, Thailand, the UK or Australia. Slower, and duty is assessed by ZIMRA at the border rather than by the seller. Tell us your deadline and we will price both routes so you can choose with your eyes open.

What to check before you pay

  • Year of manufacture

    Vehicles ten years or older are prohibited, and the car must stay below ten years when clearance finishes (SI 111 of 2024).

  • Proof of ownership

    Invoice or agreement of sale, the used-vehicle registration book, and police clearance from the country of export — SARPCO for South Africa.

  • Landed cost, line by line

    Car price, transport to Beitbridge, duty and VAT, clearing fee, registration and plates — each on its own line.

  • Bank details, by phone

    Confirm payment details on a call every time. Never act on bank details that arrive only by message.
