I was extremely happy with Joep and the team at Expat - to -Expat who made the complicated process of importing a car from Japan much simpler and incredibly transparent. It was very clear from the start how much it would cost and if anything changed in the prices there was a reason and it was well explained.
I would work again in the future with Joep and the team and would recommend them to anyone looking to do a similar process in the future.

Upon our arrival here in Nairobi, we used Expat-to-Expat to assist us in finding our new home. Marije and Joep provided excellent service to us in accomplishing this task. Among many other things, they drove us through various areas, made us visit multiple houses, explained to us the customs of the Kenyan culture and assisted us in reviewing/finalizing the rental agreement. To anyone new to Nairobi, or in the process of finding a house or wanting to import a vehicle, we highly recommend Expat-to-Expat.

Expat-to-Expat usually doesn’t advertise service providers or businesses, but this time around we believe we should not keep this to ourselves, but allow you to directly benefit from what this centre has to offer. We think it provides essential services for relocating expats as well.

Therefore, we wish to introduce to you InterHealth centre, Lavington (just behind Valley Arcade), Nairobi:
a health care centre specialised in offering care services to expats. They offer a wide variety of services that include travel health consultations, GP services, childhood and travel vaccinations, counselling, specialised health kits and trainings.

We have some good car rental options at Expat-to-Expat. Our cars are well maintained, regularly serviced and properly insured for self drive rentals.

Thanks, Amy, for your very useful contribution!

"I contacted Expat-to-Expat when I was preparing to leave Kenya, after a colleague had used their services upon arrival in Nairobi and gave a very strong recommendation. I was looking to sell a high-end SUV and having trouble finding a serious buyer using regular market channels (posters at the shopping centers, etc).

For anyone newly arrived to Kenya, I believe Expat-to-Expat would be a fantastic conduit into your new home. For those (sadly) leaving Kenya, this firm can be trusted to handle any sales or closing affairs in a fully accountable, fair and transparent manner.

We have been very appreciative of the services of Joep and his team (Expat-to-Expat). They have been a tremendous help and blessing to us, as we were quite stressed about how we were going to sell our vehicle.
They provided us with excellent service: After they retrieved our vehicle from the airport, they found us a buyer within 24 hours of our departure (!) who paid a very decent price for our car (a Nissan X-trail). In the process they even solved a small electrical problem that occurred on the car the day after we left, and this required finding a spare part during the weekend.
We would certainly recommend Expat-to-Expat to our colleagues and other expats.

Thanks,
