How to bring your car to Bahrain

Post new topic

Bhavna

Hello everybody,

If you exported your car to Bahrain, were there any formalities that needed to be completed beforehand? What were they?

What is the best way to export your car? Is there a limit on the number of vehicles, or perhaps the age of the vehicle? Are there limits on emissions or emission controls in Bahrain?

What are the expected costs of exporting a car? In your opinion, is it worth it?

Once you arrived in Bahrain, what were the applicable taxes? What was the customs process like?

How do you go about registering an imported car in Bahrain?

Is it best to buy a car once you have arrived or to bring your car with you, in your opinion?

We look forward to hearing from you!

er... this has already been answered in detail elsewhere on the Bahrain forum.

I suppose if you are busy posting nearly 11,500 posts like this all over expat.com forums though, you wouldn't know that ;-)

Mods: duplicate thread?

Hi Suburbansam,

Mods : Duplicate thread ??

No, not duplicate threads, being a moderator myself, we post these general topics on all forums so that members could participate, provide their feedbacks and more importantly, when we have several threads scattered on the forum, these types of general topics prove useful in gathering together information on one easily searchable thread.

If you wish to participate or perhaps just point out what seems to be important when bringing a car in Bahrain, please feel free, it will be most appreciated.

All the best,
Bhavna

Wrench

I have 2 motorcycles which are presently in Oman, with the plan to bring them in to Bahrain.

One of the motorcycle is year 2014 so this is not a problem, the other is year 2000 this is a big problem due to its age, Have been trying from October 2016 to bring this bike into country without any success, this bike was a special order, the condition of this bike is far better than some which are in use here at the moment.

I have been informed that any vehicle over 5 years old cannot be imported into Bahrain.
