Exporting a car to Guinea-Bissau
Cars for Guinea-Bissau come in through Bissau, with typical sea transit of 24–32 days from the UK and Europe. We book the sailing, prepare the export documents, clear the vehicle on arrival and take it on to the address you give us. Bissau and Bafatá are the usual ones; anywhere else in the country is the same job with a longer drive at the end.
Bissau is a river port rather than an open-coast terminal, so vessel calls are less frequent than at the larger hubs and sailing dates matter more to the plan. Guinea-Bissau drives on the right, so left-hand drive is the standard specification and it is what we supply unless you ask otherwise; right-hand drive can be sourced from UK stock when you specifically want it. Destination documentation is in Portuguese. We prepare the export side in English and make sure the two sets of documents agree on the detail that matters — chassis number, declared value, consignee — because that is where mismatches surface.
We buy the exact vehicle in the UK, Europe or Asia, inspect it before it moves, and take it from there: export declarations and the bill of lading, RO-RO or container, whichever suits the vehicle, marine insurance if you want the cover, customs clearance and final delivery. What comes back is one landed figure for Guinea-Bissau — vehicle, freight, insurance, duty and delivery in a single number, agreed in writing before anything is committed. Duty at destination turns on the vehicle's age, engine size and declared value, so we price your specific car rather than quote a rate that will not survive contact with the entry.

Questions
Shipping a car to Guinea-Bissau
How long does it take to ship a car to Guinea-Bissau?
- Typical sea transit from the UK and Europe to Bissau is 24–32 days, depending on the sailing schedule and whether the car travels RO-RO or in a container. Clearance and inland delivery to Bissau sit on top of that, and we give you the whole timeline in the quote.
Which port do you use for Guinea-Bissau?
- Bissau. Bissau is a river port rather than an open-coast terminal, so vessel calls are less frequent than at the larger hubs and sailing dates matter more to the plan.
Does a car for Guinea-Bissau have to be left-hand drive?
- Guinea-Bissau drives on the right, so left-hand drive is the standard specification and what we supply unless you say otherwise. Right-hand drive can be sourced from UK stock — buyers moving back from Britain often want exactly that — and whichever you choose is stated in the quote so nothing is a surprise at registration.
What language is the paperwork in for Guinea-Bissau?
- Portuguese. We raise the export documents in English and reconcile them against the Portuguese-language entry documents before the vehicle reaches Bissau — chassis number, declared value and consignee have to agree across both, and that is where delays usually start.
What does an all-in quote to Guinea-Bissau cover?
- The vehicle, export documentation, freight to Bissau, optional marine insurance, destination duty and clearance, and delivery onward to Bissau and Bafatá or wherever else in Guinea-Bissau you need it. It is one figure, fixed in writing before you commit.
