We love our visitors. Welcoming people to this island and showing them why Barbados is special – that’s a big part of what pickUP is all about. But let’s be real for a second: we built this app for everyone on this rock. Because Bajans know better than anyone that…
Let’s talk about one of Barbados’ greatest cultural institutions: the rum shop. Not a cocktail bar. Not a resort lounge. A rum shop! The kind of place with a hand-painted sign, a few plastic chairs out front and dominoes slapping on a wooden table. There are said to be over…
We get it- our beaches are legendary. There’s nothing quite like the turquoise waters of Crane Beach or the serene west coast seas at Mullins. But if you spend your entire trip with your toes in the sand, you’re only seeing half the picture. Barbados is an island of “hidden…
Barbados isn’t just a world-class beach destination; it’s a world-class golf destination.

We at pickUP were proud to sponsor De Bajan Travellers national team to compete at the FEMUNDO World Domino Championships, held in Barbados last month (September 24-27). The moment was made even sweeter when our very own pickUP driver, Carlos Hinkson, was voted MVP. Sponsoring our driver and his team…
In celebration of World Blood Donor Day (June 14th), pickUP Barbados partnered with PwC East Caribbean to offer free rides to and from the Barbados National Blood Collection Centre during the week of June 10th to 14th, 2025. The campaign aimed to make it easier for Barbadians to donate blood…
