THE PROCESS
How GIRA works
A single flow from the North American auction floor to your driveway in Nigeria, with a real person with you at every step.
Browse partner dealer stock or live auctions
Start with fixed-price cars from our partner dealerships, or follow live lots across the USA and Canada in real time. Filter by make, model, year, body type, gear, fuel or electric, mileage and title status.
Or describe the car you want
Fill in the sourcing form: make, model, trim, year range, body type, gear type, drivetrain, powertrain, mileage range, title tolerance, colour, must-have features and budget ceiling. Your agent moves it from reviewing to sourcing to found.
Check the car before you commit
Pull a GIRA vehicle history report on the VIN, read our marketplace eligibility decision, and ask the in-app assistant anything about that specific car — specs, history and how long shipping should take.
See the real cost, then decide
The landed cost calculator shows duty, surcharge, NAC levy, ETLS, green tax, CISS, VAT, freight and our commission in dollars and naira. Purchase advisory then tells you whether it beats buying the same car in Nigeria.
Fund your wallet and bid
Every client gets a dedicated Nigerian account number — transfer into it and your wallet is credited automatically. Then bid yourself with an auto-stop budget cap, or set a maximum and let your agent bid for you.
Talk to a real agent
Secure in-app chat with your assigned agent, with photos and documents attached, plus live video walk-throughs before you approve any purchase.
Compliance, shipping and tracking
We clear the compliance checklist — verification, the 12-year age rule, title and lien check, B13A/CERS export filing — then deliver to your US or Canada courier with a tracking number, or ship door-to-door to you in Nigeria.
