Requirements for Renting a Vehicle
To pick up a rental car at Montego Bay Airport, you must meet the following general requirements:
- Minimum age: Most companies require renters to be at least 21 to 25 years old, depending on the company and type of vehicle. Drivers under 25 are usually subject to a young driver surcharge.
- Driver's license: You must present a valid, current driver's license issued in your country of origin, held for at least one to two years. If your license is not in English or does not use the Latin alphabet, it is mandatory or recommended to carry an International Driving Permit (IDP) with it.
- Credit card: You must present a physical international credit card in the name of the reservation holder, with sufficient available credit to cover the pre-authorization of the security deposit. Debit cards and cash are generally not accepted for this purpose.
- Identification document: You must present your valid original passport and, in certain cases, your return ticket or confirmation of your outbound flight from the country.
- Driving side: Remember that traffic in Jamaica drives on the left side of the road (with the steering wheel on the right side of the vehicle), so extra caution is recommended at intersections and roundabouts when leaving the airport.

5 tips for renting a car abroad
- Certify that you have a valid driver's license to drive in the destination country. If you are a foreigner, check if you need to validate your license in your country of origin. It should be noted that the International permit is NOT valid by itself, it must always be accompanied by the National Driver's License.
- Documentation and vehicle insurance required according to current traffic regulations.
- Take into account the traffic rules that currently apply in the destination country. Maximum speeds allowed on highways, avenues and streets, priorities of passage at intersections without traffic lights, tolerance of allowed blood alcohol, etc.
- Direction of movement and the way in which cars should be driven on the streets. If the side where the steering wheel is located in the cars of your country matches the vehicles in the destination country.
- Know the procedure to follow in case of starring in or suffering a traffic accident.
