Outside of main cities like Kingston, you will generally not find much in terms of public transport in Jamaica. Public transportation within big cities can also be slow and unreliable. In addition, you will very rarely find options for moving from city to city other than using a private vehicle. Because of this, having access to your own car in Jamaica is a necessity. If you plan to explore remote or less touristy parts of Jamaica, such as the Blue and John Crow Mountains, having a car provides flexibility and access to places that might not be well-served by public transportation.
Driving in Jamaica can be a unique experience that requires adaptation to local road conditions, driving habits, and traffic rules. Road conditions in Jamaica can vary significantly. Major highways and roads connecting popular tourist destinations are generally well-maintained, but rural roads may be narrower and less smooth. Traffic congestion can occur in urban areas, especially during peak hours. Jamaican drivers can be assertive, and local driving habits might be different from what you're used to. Be prepared for aggressive overtaking and sudden maneuvers. Honking is a common form of communication among drivers. It can indicate various messages, such as warning others or expressing impatience. Route taxis are common and can stop anywhere along their route to pick up or drop off passengers. Be aware of these frequent stops if you're driving behind one.
The required age of drivers to rent a car in Jamaica varies among rental agencies, but it is typically 23 years old. However, there may be some rental agencies in the country that allow drivers as young as 21 to rent a car, but often with additional fees and restrictions for drivers under 25 due to the increased risk that is often associated with younger drivers.
