Would like to know what is involved in the process of shipping a 2018 Toyota Hybrid RAV4 from North Carolina to Jamaica.

As far as I know, and this of course could’ve changed over the years, Is that the vehicle can’t be over three years old.

A simple google search will give you your answer…

It's probably easier and cheaper to get a car in Jamaica. And it may be hard to get parts for this model on the island.

when you find out what the import duties are on that RAV, you are going to drop that idea real fast. Guaranteed. The poster who said buy a car locally had it right. Also, no matter what they say, they drive onthe wrong side of the road in JA. It's best to have a steering wheel on the right. The roads are winding and at times treacherous.

I agree.. it’s going to be easier to buy a car/suv in Jamaica, but I can guarantee you, it won’t be cheaper. It’s roughly 2-3x the cost here compared to the US.

Used cars are easily available but you’ll want a reputable mechanic to check it out.. plan on paying cash.. y it’s unlikely you’ll get financing.
