Question 15

Does Jamaica have any unique traffic laws?

Accepted Answer

Driving in the Caribbean country of Jamaica with your car hire can be a delight. With the lack of public transport in accessing many of the lesser-explored scenic places, car rental makes a lot of sense when you want to truly capture the essence of this legendary holiday spot. Familiarise yourself with the rules of the road, and you will find that car hire in Jamaica is easy and well worth it. Being a left-hand driving country means that you can only overtake on the right-hand side, always avoiding shoulders. Be sure to buckle up and stay off your phone if you don’t want to receive a spot fine. Checkpoints are very common in Jamaica. So, if you are pulled over in your rental car, co-operate with traffic wardens while they check for applicable licences or do a breathalyser test. When you conduct your car rental comparison, look for car rental companies that offer Sat Nav for navigation and car seats if you have a child, as your little one will need to be buckled up appropriately too. The speed limits are standard, with urban roads being 30 mph, rural roads at 50 mph and highways allowing for up to 68 mph . Traffic signage is not perfect in every city, including Montego Bay and Ocho Rio, and places can get crowded, so keep your wits about you and be considerate of the high volume of pedestrians.

Question 16

What are the legal documentation requirements for renting a car in Jamaica?

Accepted Answer

If you're visiting Jamaica from the EU, you will need to get an applicable International Driving Permit for the country. You'll also need to bring your passport and an appropriate credit card when hiring a car in Jamaica. You must be over 21 years old for standard vehicles and over 25 years old to hire 4x4s.

Question 17

Which areas of Jamaica have the most traffic?

Accepted Answer

Jamaica is unpredictable with traffic, often due to the extreme weather conditions. Flash floods are very common, which can turn traffic from manageable to difficult in a manner of minutes. Always heed the weather warnings before you venture out with your car rental. The North Coast Highway is a notoriously busy and often dangerous stretch of road, as well as the Mandela Highway. Check your Sat Nav before embarking on a road trip that involves either. You will find most main roads in Jamaica are marked with an A or B, depending on their size. All A roads, namely A1, A2 and A3 highways, are primary connection roads to the main cities and experience high traffic volumes. They are also not known for being in the best condition due to the weather, and a pothole or accident ahead could slow traffic unexpectedly. The Spanish Town Road in the Kingston area is also well-known as a high-traffic, tricky stretch of road.

Question 18

What are the best scenic roads in Jamaica?

Accepted Answer

Rent a car in Jamaica, and you’ll be in for a world of adventure. With over 50 beaches in the country, sun lovers can benefit from renting a convertible and making the most of the glorious weather. The Treasure Beach to Negril drive is about two hours long which runs along rugged coastlines and quieter parts of Jamaica. There are many great stops along the way before you arrive in Negril. Take your car rental up the winding route of Papine to Newcastle along the Blue and John Crow Mountain ranges. When you rent a car in Jamaica, you may enjoy the Stony Hill to Port Antonia trip, which is set in lush green lands along narrow roads through tiny villages, cane fields and coconut groves - a true Jamaican road trip experience. You can stop for river-rafting down the Rio Grande River along the way and make it a full day trip. Whatever you decide to do with your cheap car rental in Jamaica, you will have the choice of urban and rural strips of road to explore, leading to adventure around every corner.

Question 21

How old do you have to be to hire a car in Jamaica?

Accepted Answer

Among different countries, including Jamaica, the minimum age for drivers varies. In numerous EU countries, drivers must be 18 years old. To hire a car overseas, you'll generally need to be at least 21, and if you're under 25, a young driver surcharge may be imposed. It's recommended that you review the policy of the rental company you're considering before booking.

Question 22

What documentation or ID do you need to rent a car in Jamaica?

Accepted Answer

To rent a car in Jamaica, all drivers must present a valid full driving license. If the license is written in a language other than the language of the country of rental, an International Driving Permit may be required to avoid the risk of potential fines. If you're renting a car abroad, you may also need to provide evidence of your return travel and accommodation information during your stay. We always recommend that you verify with the specific rental company you're booking with.
