Sorting the money side

Costing a move to Barbados isn't only about freight; if you're buying or renting, the rate you get on your pounds matters too. The Barbados dollar is pegged to the US dollar, so island prices are steady, but the exchange on a deposit can move the total. For years we've connected customers with trusted partners who handle any currency.

❓ Cost of shipping to Barbados: common questions

It depends on how much you send. A single barrel starts from around £60, a part load is charged by volume, and a full container for a whole home runs into a few thousand pounds. A car is priced separately, plus Barbados duty. Your vetted partner gives a firm figure once they know your volume.

For a small load, a barrel is the cheapest option, from around £60. For a bigger send-up, a shared (groupage) container is cheaper per item because you only pay for the space you use. For a whole home, a full container is usually the best value overall. Sending only what you need is the single biggest saving.

A single barrel usually runs from around £60 to £120, depending on its size, weight, the service level and whether collection is in a free zone. Many shippers take a small refundable deposit on the empty barrel. See the barrel shipping guide for detail.

A shared container is charged by the volume you use, so it scales with your load. A full 20ft or 40ft container is a fixed cost, typically a few thousand pounds, whether it's half or fully packed. For a whole home a full container is usually best value. The container guide covers sizes.

There can be. Used belongings owned a year or more clear free of import duty, but new items attract duty of 5% to 60%, a 1% environmental levy and 17.5% VAT. Door-to-door delivery, port handling and any storage are also separate. Your partner lists these so there are no surprises.

Yes, a little. Port-to-port gets your goods to the Bridgetown terminal for you to collect; door-to-door adds clearance help and delivery to your address. Door-to-door costs more but is easier, especially if no one can attend the port.

Send only what you need, pack each barrel full but within weight, and share a container if you don't have a full home to move. Booking ahead of the busy Christmas season can help too. Your mover will suggest the most economical option for your load.

They can. The run-up to Christmas is the busiest time for barrels to the Caribbean, so booking early helps secure space and a better rate. Sailings continue through the season, but space fills quickly.
