Botswana buyers import from South African auctions because the local used-vehicle market is small and priced off SA anyway. Gaborone is under four hours from our warehouse via the Tlokweng or Pioneer Gate border, which makes Botswana the easiest cross-border market we serve.
Most Botswana buyers cross at Tlokweng Gate (Gaborone) or Ramatlabama (via Mahikeng). Francistown buyers usually cross at Martins Drift. We prepare the export paperwork; your clearing agent handles the BURS side.
Register free, verify your details and bid on any live lot from Gaborone — no need to travel. Read the bidding guide first if it is your first auction.
Win the lot, settle the invoice, and we release the registration papers along with the full export pack. Finance options are available on qualifying vehicles.
Collection from our Randfontein warehouse is free. For cross-border buyers we can stage the vehicle at your preferred border post.
Have these ready before the vehicle reaches the border. Missing paperwork is the single most common reason a cross-border collection gets held up.
Budget the landed cost, not the hammer price. Add transport, border duties and clearing fees to your maximum bid before the auction starts, so you know exactly where to stop.
Yes. Registration and bidding are fully online, so you can bid from Gaborone or Francistown. You only need to be physically involved at collection or border clearance.
Gaborone buyers normally use Tlokweng Gate or Pioneer Gate. Francistown buyers use Martins Drift. We will route the vehicle to whichever post your clearing agent prefers.
BURS charges import duty and VAT calculated on the vehicle value at the border. Your clearing agent will quote the exact figure before you commit, so build it into your maximum bid.
Yes. SAPS police clearance is part of the export pack we prepare after payment clears. It is required at the border, so do not travel without it.
Registration is free and online. Create an account, verify your email and mobile number, and you can bid on any live lot immediately.
Most stock is bank-repossessed and sold voetstoots (as-is). Every lot lists year, mileage, fuel type and transmission with photographs, and you are welcome to arrange a pre-bid inspection at our Randfontein warehouse.
