How it works
Used cars from Dubai. Shipped to your port.
We don't sell cars. We connect you to verified Dubai dealers who do — directly, on WhatsApp.
The 4 steps
- Browse listings. Hundreds of cars from Dubai dealers in one place. Filter by make, year, price.
- Pick a car you like. Each listing has the dealer's WhatsApp button. Tap it to message them directly.
- Negotiate + agree on shipping. The dealer handles the export paperwork (Bill of Lading, Certificate of Origin, export invoice). They'll quote you a landed price for your destination port.
- Pay the dealer + receive your car. Payment goes directly to the dealer's bank — we never touch your money. Cars typically arrive in 3–6 weeks depending on destination.
What we are / what we aren't
What we are
A marketplace. We list dealers' stock with photos, prices, specs in one place. We make it easy to message them.
What we aren't
A dealer. We don't own the cars. We don't ship them. We don't take payment. We don't offer warranty or returns — those are between you and the dealer.
About the dealers
Every dealer on SnagMoto is verified before they list. They've shared their Drive folder with us so we can pull their stock + photos directly. Right now we have one Dubai-based dealer with 5+ years of African export experience. We're adding more.
Common questions
- Can I trust the dealer?
- Each dealer is verified, but ultimately you're transacting with them directly. We recommend a video call before sending payment — most reputable Dubai dealers do these freely.
- What about scams?
- UAE-export car scams exist. Red flags: dealers asking for full payment via crypto / Western Union / unverified bank, prices significantly below market, refusal to do video calls or send live photos. If anything feels off, message us and we'll vouch for the dealer or flag the listing.
- What if I don't see what I want?
- Use the “Request a car” button on the home page. The dealer can source specific cars on demand.
- How long does shipping take?
- Typically 3–6 weeks from Jebel Ali (Dubai's main car export port) to most African ports. Lagos, Mombasa, Dar es Salaam, Tema are the most common destinations.
- What does it cost beyond the car?
- Shipping + duties at your destination. Your dealer can quote a landed price that includes shipping; duties are paid on arrival to your local customs.
- Do you charge me anything?
- No. SnagMoto is free for buyers. We may charge dealers in the future but the buyer experience stays free.
