Currency/Credit Cards
The currency of Montserrat is the Eastern Caribbean dollar (EC$), which is fixed to the US dollar at EC$2.65 = US$1. US dollars are widely accepted but expect your change back in EC dollars. Credit cards are not likely to be accepted, but there is no problem cashing traveller’s cheques or drawing money on a card at the banks. |

Departure Tax & Taxes
A new airport has been built in the aftermath of destructive volcanic activity. Previously called Gerald’s Airport, the facility was recently renamed the John A. Osborne Airport, in honour of one of the island’s most illustrious political figures. Departure and airport security tax from Montserrat is EC$35 (US$13) for CARICOM nationals and EC$55 (US$21) for other nationals.
A ferry links Port Little Bay in Montserrat and Heritage Quay in St John’s (Antigua) twice a day. It takes about 1hr 20mins to make the crossing. There is a departure tax of EC$45 (US$16) on this service. |
