The U.S. Virgin Islands comprises the principal islands, Saint Croix, Saint John, Saint Thomas, and 50 other minor islands and cays to explore!

Regardless of why or the length you’re making the journey to the U.S. Virgin Islands, you will certainly require a vehicle. The islands are expansive, and public transit and taxi services can be challenging to find. ShipLux will take care of all your shipping needs, so you can sit back and enjoy the enchanting Islands!

What Is Involved in Shipping a Car to the Caribbean?

Trust ShipLux in getting your vehicle both to and from the U.S. Virgin Islands! We specialize in taking care of your vehicle between the U.S. Mainland and the Virgin Islands. The journey begins (or ends) in Florida, the home of our key port. Depending on your preferences and location, we will collect your vehicle from your home, or you can drive it yourself to the port. We recommend only driving to the port in Florida if you live close by or else you risk safety issues and potential wear and tear to your vehicle getting there. Shipping a car to the Virgin Islands can be done via the following shipment methods:

  1. Roll-On, Roll-Off:  A budget-friendly and popular method for getting your vehicle safely to the Virgin Islands is roll-on, roll-off, or “RoRo” shipping. This method is when your vehicle is driven onto a large ship ahead of its journey. A skilled driver will get your vehicle loaded carefully, without the support of additional tools such as a crane, and it will be secured for the duration of the trip. sander-yigin-ki19VJAGh6w-unsplash-1-2-5.jpg

  1. Closed Container Shipping: With this option, your vehicle will be placed inside a large container, offering 360-degree protection, shielding your prized vehicle from any elements or potential theft. The sizes of the containers range, exceeding forty feet, so there is surely a container that will match the needs of your vehicle when you work with us! sander-yigin-ki19VJAGh6w-unsplash-1-3.webp

Shipping A Car To Virgin Islands Costs

If you’re a resident of the United States, you are allowed to export $1,600 worth of goods to the U.S. Virgin Islands without being charged duty. So, if your car was manufactured in the United States, there is no duty. Vehicles that have not been manufactured inside the U.S. will be subjected to a 6% duty of the total value.

Any vehicle entering the U.S. Virgin Islands must pay a $.16 per pound road tax. This is calculated based on the manufacturer-stated weight and not the true weight of the vehicle. So, the heavier the vehicle, the more money you must pay towards the tax.

To support you, ShipLux offers free and easy quotes that will determine the exact cost you will be charged when working with us. Some of the factors that go into our costing are:

  • The method of shipping you opt for, as air freight will cost more than RoRo.

  • Destination shipping starts in the mainland U.S. A car traveling from Texas - Florida will cost more than say, Georgia. The longer that the vehicle needs to be shipped the more expensive it will be.

  • The make, model, size, weight, and year of the vehicle.

  • Your flexibility on timing.

  • The condition of your vehicle

  • Insurance

  • Paperwork for entering the U.S Virgin Islands
