Buy UK Ex-Fleet Vehicles with Confidence — Export Support by FleetGate

FleetGate provides dedicated export support for international buyers purchasing trucks, trailers, and commercial vehicles through our online auction platform.

We understand that sourcing vehicles from overseas can be complex. Our export services are designed to simplify the process by guiding buyers from auction completion through documentation, logistics coordination, and shipment preparation.

Whether purchasing a single asset or multiple fleet vehicles, FleetGate helps ensure a structured and transparent export experience.

What FleetGate Export Support Includes

DVLA Permanent Export Handling
We assist buyers with the required UK documentation when vehicles are permanently exported, helping ensure compliance with DVLA procedures and reducing delays before shipment.

Shipping Coordination

FleetGate works alongside trusted shipping partners to help arrange transport from the UK to international ports.
Support includes guidance on:
⦁ Roll-on Roll-off (RoRo) shipping
⦁ Container shipping options
⦁ Required export documentation
⦁ Pre-shipment preparation

Port Delivery Support

Where required, we help coordinate delivery from the seller’s premises to the chosen UK export port, allowing buyers to complete purchases without needing a physical presence in the UK.

Clearing Agent Introductions

We introduce buyers to experienced clearing agents familiar with commercial vehicle imports across East and Southern Africa.
Clearing partners assist with:
⦁ Customs clearance
⦁ Import documentation
⦁ Local compliance procedures
⦁ Duties and tax processes

Country Import Guidance

Import regulations vary between countries. FleetGate provides general guidance to help buyers understand:
⦁ Vehicle eligibility considerations
⦁ Typical documentation requirements
⦁ Import process expectations
⦁ Recommended shipping routes
While buyers remain responsible for local compliance, our guidance helps reduce uncertainty and avoid common delays.

Specialist Export Support for East & Southern Africa

FleetGate supports buyers across key right-hand-drive markets where UK ex-fleet vehicles are in strong demand, including:

Kenya

Tanzania

Uganda

Zambia

Zimbabwe

Malawi

Botswana

Namibia

Mozambique

Our platform connects international buyers with professionally maintained UK fleet vehicles while providing practical guidance throughout the export process.

South Africa Import Guidance

South Africa maintains strict regulations regarding the importation of used vehicles in order to protect its domestic automotive industry.
Commercial reminders:

⦁ Import permits are required for most used vehicle imports.
⦁ Approval is granted only in limited circumstances.
⦁ Standard commercial resale imports are generally restricted.

FleetGate can provide guidance for qualifying buyers and specialist export cases; however, South Africa is not typically a primary destination for used fleet imports. Buyers may wish to consider neighbouring Southern African markets where import processes are more straightforward.

Why International Buyers Choose FleetGate

⦁ Access to verified UK ex-fleet vehicles
⦁ Transparent auction pricing through competitive bidding
⦁ Access to exclusive private listings shared directly with registered international buyers
⦁ Opportunity to access fleet assets before they are publicly listed or enter the open market
⦁ Support from purchase through export preparation
⦁ Clear communication throughout the process
⦁ Assistance without requiring a UK intermediary
FleetGate also gives international buyers early access to off-market fleet disposals. Buyers can provide their vehicle specifications and requirements, and our team will keep them updated when suitable stock becomes available — often before it is released to the wider market.
FleetGate bridges the gap between UK fleet sellers and international buyers seeking reliable commercial vehicles.
