Hiring a car in Jamaica is a great way to explore this exciting island nation in the Caribbean. Beyond the scenic beaches, there is plenty to see and do, including Blue Mountain Peak and Dunn’s River Falls and Park. Booking a car hire in Jamaica puts you in the driver’s seat for an unforgettable holiday. If you’re looking for a cheap car hire in Jamaica, you can get great deals when you book in advance. Select from major car hire companies or local agencies, which can organise a pick-up and drop-off of your vehicle, at the airport or your hotel. You must be at least 25 years old to hire a car; however, drivers aged between 18 and 25 may be eligible for Jamaica car hire if they pay a surcharge. All drivers are required to carry a valid licence, and an international driver's permit is recommended for your car hire in Jamaica.
When you hire a car in Jamaica, remember to drive on the left-hand side of the road. The speed limit is 50 km/h (30 mph) in urban or residential areas and 80 km/h (50 mph) on highways, and the legal blood alcohol limit is 0.08. It is compulsory for the driver and front passenger to wear seat belts, and infants under three years old must travel in infant carriers. Children between three and 12 years old are not allowed to sit in the front seat. Always keep your licence and car hire paperwork in the vehicle. When you’re driving your hire car in Jamaica, you may notice that it is common for local drivers to use their horns to get the attention of other road users. Service stations can be found throughout the island but generally do not accept credit cards, so always carry cash with you. Some Jamaican roads are poorly maintained, lack signage and are poorly lit at night, so drive carefully at all times. It is recommended you check with the local transport authority in Jamaica for updated road rules.
Jamaica has mountainous terrain, with busy streets in the major cities and narrow, winding rural roads. There are very few paved roads outside the main towns, and drivers may need to watch out for pedestrians and animals. If you’re looking for car hire in Jamaica, an SUV is a good option, such as a Nissan Pathfinder, Suzuki Grand Vitara, Toyota RAV 4 or Mitsubishi Outlander. For those travelling in a group, you can find passenger van hire in Jamaica that seats up to 12 people, such as a Hyundai H-1 or Toyota HiAce. You can also book great economy car hire in Jamaica, and both automatic and manual transmission cars are available. Always check the fine print on your car hire policy, as many car hire companies offer unlimited mileage, fair fuel policies, collision damage waivers and coverage for liability and theft. Mobile phone coverage may not be available in all parts of the country, so purchase a road map or download a map app on your phone to navigate around the island.
