Why is Barbados Ideal for Tax Free Shopping? As a visitor to the island you have the opportunity to buy an impressive selection of wonderful items at tax free prices. Tax free shopping in Barbados is as much as a third more economical than prices in Europe, the U.K. and North America. Shoppers are safe in the knowledge that the products are genuine with good after sales service. DOCUMENTS: You must present your immigration form or passport and ticket at the time of purchase and you can get your purchases over the counter. Liquor and tobacco are the only exceptions, these are delivered to your port of departure for collection.

Bridgetown Shuttle There is a free shuttle service to Bridgetown from hotels on the south and west coasts, operating from Monday to Saturday at 9:30am or 11am returning at 1:30pm or 3pm and from the Crane on Thursdays at 8:45am.
