Is it April already?
Submarine. There is a service every 30 minutes from Dover to Kingston. A nice chap in Nigeria will book the tickets for you if you email him your credit card and bank details.0 -

Ha ha very funny, don't give up your day job that's if you have one!

It was actually a serious question to which you obviously don't know the answer to.0 -
Why would you want to do so - especially as you'd have to ship it out again at the end of the holiday? And what are you going to do for transport in the UK for the several weeks it takes to ship it.Hi there, can anybody tell me the cheapest way of how to go about shipping a seven seater car over to Jamaica to use while were on holiday please?0 -
Don't worry about the transport costs, they'll be far outweighed by the cost of insuring a tasty foreign 7 seater in Jamaca..................

Perhaps unsurprisingly - it's going to be near impossible. I suspect if you are serious you would have to ship via the USA, it will take weeks and the cost there and back will probably be close to the car's value.
I think you would have an interesting conversation with the Customs authorities in Jamaica. Trying to convince them that you really are importing just for your holiday and not going to leave/sell in Jamaica and therefore not liable for inport duties.
Good Luck!0 -
How many of you are travelling? Could you dismantle the car into 20kg pieces to put in the hold as your luggage allowances? (Don't forget the spanners to reassemble it).0
