10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Jamaica

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for the summer months, or an economy car for budget-friendly options, utilise filters on Expedia to assist you in discovering the perfect match for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it is advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you are more likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy greater availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are generally more affordable to rent and easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals offer a good compromise between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age requirements before making a booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements stipulate a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is usually the most favourable option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are acceptable as well. Just ensure you return the car empty in this case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: You will often incur a surcharge for collecting your rental car at airports, but it may be worthwhile for the added convenience.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies only accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and provides peace of mind should anything unexpected occur during your trip. It's straightforward to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.

Can I drive in Jamaica with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license from the U.S, you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S., know that you'll also have to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the vehicle needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Additional requirements for car rentals in the U.S. Are:
  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or older in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the company you're renting from before you travel to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you get behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your home. Please read the regulations before booking!
