Important information about Kingston car hire

Kingston, Jamaica’s capital, is famous for the Bob Marley Museum, the Blue Mountains surrounding the city and the historic Devon House. When visiting Jamaica, Kingston is normally just a quick visit and then you’re off to see the rest of the island. If you have a car rental in Kingston, you can go tour Fort Charles out on the end of the Palisadoes sand strip or see the Falling Head waterfalls in the mountains. There are about 30 car hire locations in Kingston between the city centre and the Norman Manley International Airport. You can find a cheap car rental in Kingston and, while you’re visiting central, leave it in one of the many parking lots. Although Kingston is considered relatively safe, we recommend taking extra care, especially at night.

While visiting, is it worthwhile to rent a car while visiting Kingston?

Walking around Kingston is not so much recommended. If you’re staying in New Kingston, walking around the immediate neighbourhood should be fine. Normally, when visiting Jamaica, Kingston is just a day stop and tourists continue on to explore the rest of the island. To do so, public transportation is an affordable possibility but a car rental in Kingston will allow you to reach all spots off the beaten tourist path. You can drive your Kingston car rental to Negril Seven Mile Beach, a long stretch of white sand and clear blue Caribbean water in under four hours. Montego Bay is known for its gorgeous beach resorts and it’s about a two-hour drive away with a cheap car rental. Hagley Park Road is the main street through Kingston and its busiest; you may want to avoid it when driving around central.

What different driving laws should I keep in mind while driving in Kingston?

In Kingston and the rest of Jamaica, they drive on the left-hand side of the road. Seatbelts are mandatory for all passengers in your rental car in Kingston. Jamaica laws are very strict about drinking and driving, therefore we recommend you refrain from doing so. You cannot hold a mobile phone while you are driving; it must be in hands-free mode. Jamaican roads have surprisingly low speed limits that are enforced, so be sure to not drive over the indicated limit. Nonetheless, it’s best you look up Kingston’s department of motor vehicles to see if there are any updated or new laws.

Will I need a special driving license or permit to drive a rental car in Kingston if I’m visiting from another country?

When picking up your car rental in Kingston, if you’re visiting from a foreign country, you may need a special driver’s permit. If you have a U.S. or United Kingdom driver’s permit, you won’t need an extra document; however, those travelling from other countries will require an International Driver’s Permit. The IDP must be obtained in the country of origin of your driving license, not once you’re already in Jamaica.
