Cross-border

Car Auctions for Botswana Buyers

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.

Getting your vehicle to Botswana

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.

1. Bid online

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.

2. Pay and get documents

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.

3. Collect or have it delivered

Collection from our Randfontein warehouse is free. For cross-border buyers we can stage the vehicle at your preferred border post.

What you need to import a car from South Africa to Botswana

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.

Botswana buyers ask

Can someone in Botswana bid on a South African car auction?

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.

Which border post should I use?

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.

What duties will I pay in Botswana?

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.

Do you help with police clearance?

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.

How do I register to bid from Botswana?

Registration is free and online. Create an account, verify your email and mobile number, and you can bid on any live lot immediately.

What condition are the vehicles in?

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.
