The most popular SUV models offered at rental locations in Montego Bay are: Toyota Rav4, Chevrolet Blazer, Ford Escape, Jeep Wrangler, Suzuki Jimny, Chrysler Journey and others.
While selecting your preferred model of an off-road vehicle, please examine the rental conditions. In particular, those requirements that concern credit cards – when it comes to renting an expensive car, sometimes offices in Jamaica ask information about two credit cards.
Before signing the contract in the rental office upon arrival, check that the invoice figures match with figures in your voucher.
Once the vehicle is assigned, inspect it carefully before leaving the parking. Crossovers and SUVs are often used in tough road conditions, therefore scratches and other exteriour defects are inevitable. Due to this, it is important to check and specify all existing defects in your rental documents.
If you plan to use an off-road vehicle in the mountains, it is recommended to order snow chains. This will save you from unexpected incidents. Other important equipment in Jamaica are mandatory child seats for travellers with children.

Common questions on rental process
Technical condition of the majority of cars that can be seen on roads of Jamaica is truly pitiful. Many cars even do not have working lights and turn signals. That is the reason why local drivers almost never accompany their maneuvers with light signals. At best, they can put a hand out of the window to warn of the upcoming maneuver.
Car honk is another indispensable means of warning. It is safe to say that local drivers push it more often than brake pedal. Motorists use honking to notify others of their intention to make a maneuver, to express emotions (all kinds of emotions), and to remind other road users of their presence on the road.
Road signs are extremely rare on roads of Jamaica. Roads located in the country may have no road signs at all, so if you plan to make a trip to an unfamiliar area, it is better to do that together with a local guide.
