GTA Online Import/Export: How the Business Works

Import/Export turns your CEO office into a car-theft-and-resale business. Here is what a Vehicle Warehouse costs and how a run actually works.

GTA Online Import/Export turns your CEO office into a car-theft-and-resale operation — steal or buy source vehicles, store them, then export them to buyers for a profit.

What you need

  • A CEO office (any tier)
  • A Vehicle Warehouse, bought separately, in one of nine locations across the city including Cypress Flats, Davis and El Burro Heights

How a run works

  1. Your organisation's technician offers source vehicles on the map.
  2. Steal or buy the one you want and drive it back to your warehouse.
  3. Once you've filled available slots, export them — solo or with help defending the convoy from other players and police.

Why it's slow to start

Import/Export has one of the longest payback periods of any GTA Online business. The warehouse and office costs come first, and meaningful profit only shows up once you're running full export missions regularly rather than one car at a time.

The bonus that changes the maths

Collecting a full matching set of vehicles before exporting pays a bonus on top of the base sale price — worth chasing once you know the warehouse well enough to hold out for specific cars.
