Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Djibouti to Kingston

Budget: The shorter the distance, the more cost-effective it is to drive instead of ship your car. Regardless of the total distance, look at your total moving budget and how much you can afford to spend on car shipping services compared to a cross-country drive.

In Jamaica, the age limit for importing cars is generally up to 6 years old, while light commercial vehicles (pickups, small vans) can be up to 10 years old, and motorcycles/ATVs up to 5 years old, though specific limits vary by vehicle type (buses, heavy trucks, etc.) and special permits (like for returning residents or classic cars) may allow for older vehicles, requiring detailed checks with the Trade Board or Jamaica Customs Agency for exact rules.

Methods of Vehicle Shipping in the Caribbean Roll-On/Roll-Off (RORO ): Vehicles are driven directly onto a specialised ship, secured in place, and then driven off at the destination port. RORO shipping is typically the most affordable and convenient option, especially for standard-sized vehicles.
