Ship Car To Ocho Rios

Car Shipping Ocho Rios

Ocho Rios is a city in Jamaica that was once known as a fishing village, but it’s not a tourist hub located on Jamaica's north coast. It is a port for cruise ships and cargo ships that load sugar, limestone, and bauxite in the past.

If you intend to spend more time in the country or you want to relocate there permanently, having your own vehicle is, without a doubt, amongst the best things that you can do. Your car would be shipped from the nearest port in the USA and taken to the Port of Kingston, which is by far and currently the largest port in Jamaica.

Cost & Time Examples For Shipping a Car to Ocho Rios

*Prices and times are estimated. They can vary depending on the season and the type of vehicle.

*Save on ground transport costs by delivering the vehicle to the nearest port.

*Allow an additional 10 days to process the documents.

*Prices are for one car in a dedicated 20ft container. This is the safest and most reliable way to transport a vehicle internationally. Other items may be included in the container to help save you money when moving.

*Using the RoRo (roll on, roll off) method is less expensive, and shipments can be completed in fewer days. Contact us now for a free RoRo quote.

Documents That You Are Going To Need

As per the Jamaican Customs Department regulations set forth for auto imports, you would have to prepare certain documentation, and you would have to take care of a few formalities. The documents include:

• Passport of Owner.
• Import License.
• Title Vehicle.
• Purchase Bill.
• Tax Compliance Certificate.

Once you are through all the procedures, the shipment will be a lot faster, and the clearances will go smoothly. In addition, you might want to prepare about 67% of the value of your automobile as import duty. In any case, A1 Auto Transport service is going to try to negotiate the most affordable price, but this is the standard payment. The duty will increase with the vehicle's size, and if it’s a luxury one, you’d have to pay even more.

Additional Specifications

In addition to all of the above, there are certain eligibility criteria that you’d have to fall within. They include:

• You can only import cars which are no more than 4 years old.
• If you are a returning citizen, you are allowed to import two vehicles.
• You can use your US driving license for 12 months, and after that, you have to get a local one.
• You are going to need an insurance policy, or the Customs won’t get you cleared.
• You can’t sell an imported vehicle for at least 12 months after the import. If it gets damaged during or after shipping, you can’t sell it for 3 years.

You also want to talk with the A1 Auto Transport Company to apply and arrange tax registration number because this is essential and you have to have it before the import. It can be acquired from the Tax Administration of Jamaica.

If you are looking for the cheapest way to get your motorcar in Jamaica, you should go for the Roll-on/Roll-off method. In this method, your car is driven and secured on a shipping deck and taken to the Port of Kingston, where it’s driven off. You also have to make sure that the automobile is perfectly cleared and free of any possessions. Container shipping is your choice if you want to ensure maximum protection of the vehicle.
