New Car Hire Deals In Jamaica
We have teamed up with a new car hire supplier in Jamaica and this means we have access to much better deals when it comes to hiring a car on this beautiful Caribbean Island.
One of the benefits of using a local company rather than a big international brand or franchise is that they can set their own terms and policies and do not have to follow the rules put in place by a CEO that is sitting behind a desk in a lovely office a thousand miles away. These smaller business owners know their market and tailor their business to suit the people who need and want to hire from them. Below are some brilliant examples of this:
Free Additional Driver
You can add a 2nd driver to your rental free of charge, you can also add a 3rd driver to the policy for just $3 USD per day. So if you intend to take in the sights or party like you are supposed to in Jamaica then having the option of another driver can be valuable.
Pay With A Debit Card
The vast majority of car hire suppliers require a credit card for the rental payment and deposit hold. This can exclude a lot of potential customers and this supplier has identified that by accepting debit cards, they could increase their target market. No need for a credit card here, just a valid debit card in the name of the main driver.
Low Deposit Car Hire
For the majority of rentals, the most costly part is the deposit. Although in most circumstances this amount is not taken from your card, its just held (frozen) similar to checking into a hotel. Some suppliers require a deposit upwards of $1,500 USD which to a lot of people is not affordable. The standard deposit here with all vehicles is $750 USD, this can be reduced even further with additional insurances to $250 USD.
Young Driver Car Hire
The standard age restrictions apply with most suppliers in Jamaica. Typically if you are under 25 or over 75 then you will struggle to hire a vehicle. However, with our supplier we can offer car rental to those the age of 21 and 22 with just a small additional fee of $6 USD per day, 23 and 24 year old’s can be insured with no extra charge at all providing you have held your driving licence for 12 months or more.
Collecting A Hire Car In Jamaica
All of the above are available from 3 depots in Jamaica. Norman Manley Airport, Sangster International Airport and Kingston Town. Delivery can also be arranged to private addresses or hotels.
