Jamaica Car Rental FAQ

What side of the road does Jamaica drive on?
Jamaica drives on the left side of the road, following British convention. If you're used to driving on the right, take extra care at roundabouts and when turning. Most rental vehicles are right-hand drive.
Do I need an international driving permit in Jamaica?
No. A valid driver's license from your home country is accepted in Jamaica for up to 12 months. You must be at least 21 years old to rent, and some providers require age 25 for luxury or SUV vehicles.
What does car rental insurance cover in Jamaica?
Basic insurance covers third-party liability. We recommend full Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) which costs $10-15/day extra. This covers damage to the rental vehicle with a small deductible. Check if your credit card provides rental car coverage before purchasing.
How much does fuel cost in Jamaica?
Fuel in Jamaica costs approximately $1.50 USD per liter (about $5.70 per gallon). Gas stations are common in cities and along main highways but can be scarce in rural mountain areas. Fill up before heading to the Blue Mountains or south coast.
Can I pick up in Montego Bay and drop off in Kingston?
Yes, most major rental companies offer one-way rentals between Sangster (MBJ) and Norman Manley (KIN) airports. One-way fees typically range from $50-100 USD. Book in advance as one-way availability is limited.
Are the roads in Jamaica safe for tourists to drive?
Main highways like the A1 (Montego Bay to Negril) and Highway 2000 (Kingston to Ocho Rios) are well-maintained. Mountain roads and rural routes can be narrow and winding. Drive during daylight hours when possible, especially on unfamiliar routes.
