Dubai has become one of the top global hubs for car exportsโ€”thanks to its wide selection of high-quality vehicles, competitive pricing, and efficient logistics network.

Step 1: Choose the Right Vehicle

The first step is to select a car that meets your requirementsโ€”brand, model, mileage, condition (new or used), and budget. In Dubai, you can find a vast selection of:
  • Left-hand and right-hand drive vehicles
  • New and used cars
  • Japanese, American, European, Korean, Chinese and GCC(Middle East) Specs

๐Ÿ’ก Tip: At S.K. Motors, we stock a wide variety of SUVs, sedans, crossovers, hatchbacks, pickups, electrics, vans, minivans, coasters, jeeps and commercial vehicles for immediate export.

Step 2: Verify Export Eligibility

Not all cars are eligible for export to every country due to local regulations (e.g., age restrictions, emissions standards, right-hand vs. left-hand drive). It’s essential to confirm:
  • Age limit for imports (e.g., 5 years max in some African countries)
  • Emissions compliance (e.g., Euro 4, 5, or 6 standards)
  • Necessary documentation for clearance

Step 3: Complete the Purchase

Once the car is selected:
  • Finalize the price
  • Secure a purchase agreement
  • Pay via bank transfer or certified payment method

๐Ÿ’ผ At S.K. Motors, we ensure transparent pricing and secure payment channels.

Step 4: Arrange Documentation

Accurate documentation is key to a successful export. The following documents are typically prepared:
  • Export certificate from RTA (Roads and Transport Authority)
  • Original invoice and proof of payment
  • Bill of lading (for sea shipments)
  • Vehicle clearance certificate

We handle all documentation and share digital copies with you before shipping upon request.

Step 5: Choose Shipping Method

You can select a shipping option based on your needs and location. Customers may choose from multiple shipping providers, or arrange shipping with any other company of their choice. Options include:

  • RoRo (Roll-on/Roll-off) โ€“ Cost-effective and ideal for standard vehicles

  • Container Shipping โ€“ Safer, recommended for luxury cars, multiple units, or long-distance destinations

  • Air Freight โ€“ Fastest option, typically used for high-end or urgent exports

๐ŸŒ We export vehicles to over 78 countries across Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, and more.

Step 6: Track Shipment & Prepare for Arrival
