Car Prices In Zanzibar Tanzania

In the Zanzibar region, car prices on GariPesa usually start from about TSh 5.5M for smaller used cars and can reach up to around TSh 68M for larger SUVs, 4x4s and premium models, especially those close to showroom condition.

Most cars listed in Zanzibar fall between model years 2000 and 2013, with the average price sitting close to TSh 23.4M. Newer low-mileage vehicles or those that are near showroom level usually sit above this average, while older used cars with higher mileage tend to be below it.

Registration class also has a strong impact on price. Unregistered cars with full duty already paid are usually the most expensive, very close to showroom pricing, because the buyer gets a fresh import and can choose a new plate. Cars with plates such as Namba E, D, C, B or A tend to be cheaper, and as the letter goes down (for example from E to A) the market price normally drops as well.

We recommend comparing listings from Zanzibar with cars from Dar es Salaam and other regions on GariPesa so you can see whether local prices for used and near-showroom cars are higher or lower than the wider Tanzanian market.
