Whether you’re buying your first car, upgrading to a bigger family vehicle, or looking for something practical for business use, it helps to understand what drives used-car pricing in Botswana. Because brand-new cars are heavily taxed and often out of reach for many buyers, demand across Botswana continues to favour used and reconditioned vehicles.
How car price is calculated in Botswana
The final price you see in Botswana is not just the auction price overseas. Importers also factor in auction and inspection fees, yard storage, local transport to the export port, and shipping with marine insurance. Once the vehicle reaches Durban and Walvis Bay, duties and taxes are applied based on the vehicle type and engine size, and sometimes the fuel category (Hybrid, Petrol, Diesel and Electric). Clearing and documentation costs are added as well, along with local handling and delivery charges.
When you add everything together, the final landed price can end up significantly higher than the original CIF (Cost, Insurance, Freight) value. Prices can also shift with market conditions. Exchange-rate movement and policy changes can affect import costs, which is why asking prices across Francistown, Molepolole, Mogoditshane and Maun may adjust over time.
The key specs that affect price
Engine size is one of the biggest factors. In general, smaller engines (for example 1300–1500 cc) often sit in a more favourable tax bracket than larger SUVs or vans. On this page you’ll see a spread of 2000, 1500, 1200, 2500 and 1800 CC, and larger engine sizes usually mean higher duties and a higher final USD price.
Fuel type matters too. Conventional petrol options are common, while efficient choices like hybrids and other fuel types (Hybrid, Petrol, Diesel and Electric) often attract buyers because of lower day-to-day running costs. Import age rules also influence what’s available, which is why most reconditioned vehicles listed tend to sit within 1994–2025 and popular years such as 1994–2025.
How Carbarn Botswana helps you choose
Carbarn Botswana makes it easy to compare options without guessing. You can filter by body type (HATCHBACK), fuel type (Hybrid, Petrol, Diesel and Electric), drive type (2WD and 4WD), and engine size (2000, 1500, 1200, 2500 and 1800). You can also narrow down by year (1994–2025), price (2,675 USD–38,053 USD), and mileage (0–198,000 km).
Each listing is designed to help you compare confidently, using clear photos, grades (4, 3.5, 4.5, 3 and R), and variant labels (G, S, DX, HYBRID X and X) where available. That makes it easier to shortlist the right car for your budget and how you drive in Botswana.
