Car Shipping Anegada
Anegada is the northernmost of the British Virgin Islands and gets its name, “drowned land” because it is only 28 feet above sea level at its highest point. It is home to Horseshoe Reef, the largest barrier reef in the Caribbean. Driving is the most popular way to navigate the island and the route is simple as there is only one roundabout around the entire island. There are taxis available, but minimal public transportation, so having your own vehicle is probably the safest and most reliable way to get around. It is important to first obtain a quote from a reliable auto transport company prior to making shipping and travel arrangements.
Customs.
Upon arrival in Anegada, the first stop for your vehicle will be the customs department. At this point, you will need to pay the duty fees of 20% of the vehicle’s value, as determined by the Commercial Invoice/Bill of Sale or if the vehicle is used, an internationally verified source, such as the Kelley Blue Book.
Vehicle Requirements.
After your vehicle clears customs, it will need to undergo an extensive inspection at the Department of Motor Vehicles.
