KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Ocho Rios

  • Car hire in Ocho Rios offers enhanced flexibility and freedom that you don’t get with other methods of transport. You can come and go as you please, rather than waiting on the schedules of public transport, as well as travel directly to your destination. For instance, you can drive to St Ann’s Bay in about 15min, which is a journey that’s not possible via public transport, so you would need to wait for a taxi.
  • Kingston Airport (KIN) is nearby to Ocho Rios and has a range of car hire companies to pick from. Once you have landed, passed through immigration and collected your baggage, you can find your ideal agency with ease. For instance, Island Car Hire is located in the airport terminal, whilst agencies such as Hertz are a quick journey away on the free shuttle. Your Ocho Rios car hire provider will provide you with your vehicle once you have completed the required paperwork, shown your ID, and paid for your car.
  • Using car hire in Ocho Rios, you will find that it is a popular resort town that is filled with tourists. With jaywalking not illegal in Jamaica, you can expect tourists and locals to cross the road in areas that aren’t designated for pedestrians. Therefore, it’s important that you drive vigilantly in the centre of the town. You will also notice there are a lot of mopeds in the town, as it’s a popular way to explore the island. Remember to regularly check your mirrors so that you’re aware of your immediate surroundings.
  • When driving an Ocho Rios hire car, you will see that roads can be very busy, especially in peak season. This is only enhanced when a ferry arrives at the port, leading to taxis arriving in abundance to collect excited tourists. If you want to avoid the busiest times on the road, it’s recommended that you consult the arrival timetables for cruises. The A3 is one of the busiest roads on the island, with it running parallel with the coast and through Ocho Rios. An alternative road you can try for less traffic is Great Pond Road, which is further inland.
  • Small hire cars in Ocho Rios are around 32% cheaper than other car types, on average

    If you’re looking for cheap car hire in Ocho Rios, look no further than a compact vehicle. These are ideal for driving on tight streets with lots of cars, whilst also making parking easier. Jamaica has quite a wild countryside, with some roads being akin to off-road driving. For this reason, it’s recommended to get a more robust vehicle if you’re heading out of the town. For instance, an SUV is ideal as it provides you with 4x4 capabilities and also a more luxurious interior for longer journeys.

  • What’s the speed limit in Ocho Rios?

    You must drive within the speed limit in Jamaica, or you risk being fined or banned from driving by the police. You will also lower the risk of causing an accident if you drive at the correct speed. If you’re caught by a speed camera, you will automatically be charged by your car hire company, and they will also give your information to the police. In Ocho Rios and other urban areas, you can drive at 50 km/h (31 mph). Whereas on motorways the top speed is 80 km/h (50 mph).

  • Where are the best places to park in Ocho Rios?

    There are some great places to park in Ocho Rios, which is ideal for those with a hired car. For example, Ocho Rios downtown beach has free parking that you can use and is close to a range of shops and restaurants. Pleasure Cove also provides free parking for anyone looking for a great day out at a pristine beach.
