Why Understanding Costs Matters

Many first-time importers are surprised by the additional costs beyond the vehicle price. Import duties, transport, and agent fees can significantly increase your total investment. CarBridge believes in full transparency - we want you to understand every cost before you commit.

Vehicle Purchase Price Ranges

Typical price ranges for popular luxury vehicles in South Africa:

Import Duty (ZIMRA)

Zimbabwe's import duty on vehicles is set by ZIMRA and varies based on vehicle age, engine capacity, and type. Duty rates typically range from 40% to 85% of the vehicle's CIF (Cost, Insurance, Freight) value. Newer vehicles with smaller engines tend to attract lower rates.

Note: Rates change periodically. We always verify current rates with ZIMRA before providing your quotation.

Transport Costs (SA to Zimbabwe)

Vehicle transport from South Africa to Zimbabwe typically costs between $800 - $1,500, depending on the pickup location in South Africa, delivery destination in Zimbabwe, and vehicle size. All transport is via licensed, insured carriers.

Agent & Service Fees

CarBridge's service fee covers vehicle sourcing, inspection coordination, purchase facilitation, logistics management, and customs clearance support. Our fee is transparent and quoted upfront - no hidden charges.
