    Renting a car in Jamaica

    Jamaica is a big island, and if you want to see things away from your resort renting a car is probably a good idea, but you should be prepared (buy a map!). Jamaican roads (like most Caribbean islands roads) are not known for their upkeep - there can be traffic jams in and around the bigger towns and cities, and country roads can be in poor repair. In Jamaica there are few north-south routes due to the moutainous terrain. Roads can be very narrow, and locals have a habit of driving in the middle of them to avoid potholes and the soft shoulders, so be especially alert when going around bends. Remember that in Jamaica driving is on the left!

    You have to be 25 years old to rent a car in Jamaica - this is true for most of the Caribbean. Your U.S. drivers licencse is valid for 3 months.
