Shipping Option

When shipping your motorcycle to Barbados, one of our shipping agents can assist you in determining which shipping option will be right for you. The first and most common option is the Roll On/Roll-Off shipping method. With this method of shipping, your motorcycle is parked in a bay on the deck of a ship. While you only pay for the amount of space your motorcycle takes up, you won't be able to keep anything with your motorcycle including the helmet. Your motorcycle will need to be completely cleaned all over thoroughly before shipping. The tires are immobilized and the motorcycle strapped properly.

The second method of shipping is the container shipping. Your motorcycle will be crate along with the helmet, saddle bags, and all other riding necessities before it is closed up and placed within a container. Usually, shipping containers of 20-feet houses 6 to 8 motorcycles to ensure that there is no damage. While in a container, your motorcycle is protected from any weather elements or possible damage while out at sea. However, it is important that you know everything about shipping your motorcycle including the details about import duties and taxes so that you can budget for it accordingly.
