KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Kingston

  • By choosing to use a car hire in Kingston, you can fully explore the 480 km squared area that the beautiful city has to offer, as well as travelling to see different parts of the island nation of Jamaica. By choosing when you travel, where you travel and how you travel, you are free to do so with out having to worry about the local public transport and its schedule. This way, you can explore the famous coffee growing regions in the Blue Mountains at your own leisure or visit some of the nearby beaches that make this country so famous.
  • The nearest airport to Kingston, is the Norman Manley Airport (KIN), which is located beside the city. As the main airport for the island, it has plenty of car hire companies on offer, including internationally famous ones, such as Hertz, Budget, Avis, Alamo, Island Car Rentals, Autounion Car and Ace. Some of these companies have office branches in the airport in front of the Customs Hall, while others provide a pick-up or drop-off service. We encourage you to contact the car hire company and find out what services they offer and their opening hours as these may vary.
  • When using a car hire in Kingston, you must drive on the left-hand side of the road, according to the national driving laws of Jamaica. You can only turn left at a red light if you have a green light from a filter light, telling you to do so, and you should take care when driving in your Kingston car hire. Particularly, as jaywalking is very common in the city, and as you are driving you have a responsibility for the health and safety of pedestrians, even if they cross the road illegally.
  • The weather in Kingston is generally very hot, so we recommend that you check that your vehicle is in good condition before driving it. We encourage you to check the tyre pressure and the coolant liquid levels so that you have full control of the vehicle. Rush hour and traffic is generally worse before and after school or the traditional office hours, and we suggest that you try and avoid driving in the city centre during these hours. Also, you may encounter people walking on the road when there is no sidewalk and therefore, you will need to take care when in control of your car hire in Kingston.
  • Book your car hire in Kingston at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Mini hire cars in Kingston are around 34% cheaper than other car types, on average

They were very accommodating and flexible, and when I had a flat tire, the assistance was prompt and efficient. The only thing is they held US 1000 on my credit card which I am yet to get back 😩. Apart from that they seem a decent company.

Pros:

I did not like anything! The car class I reserved was not available. I was offered a much smaller car which was not big enough for my party. I was forced to find alternative transportation.

Cons:

Provide the service you offer! I would never rent from Payless again.

The cost for the rental was about $180 yet the security deposit was $2000. That was a bit excessive to me. So I ended up canceling reservation.
