Should I hire a car in Jamaica with Zest Car Rental?

Hiring a car in Jamaica offers you the freedom of exploring parts of the country only accessible by car. A vibrant art scene blends with Jamaica’s famous reggae roots to create a lively and colourful atmosphere. Jamaica, known for its sun-soaked beaches, also boasts lush, mountainous terrain ripe for exploration by hire car. One must-do adventure is driving through the Blue Mountains, home to the world-famous Blue Mountain coffee. Set out from Kingston, the capital, and embark on a scenic journey through winding mountain roads. Along the way, you'll pass through charming villages and coffee plantations, where you can taste freshly brewed Blue Mountain coffee.

Jamaica's South Coast is a treasure trove of natural wonders and cultural experiences, best explored with the convenience of a hire car. Depart from Montego Bay or Kingston and drive to YS Falls, a stunning seven-tiered waterfall surrounded by lush gardens. Here, you can swim in natural pools and take a thrilling zipline adventure through the canopy. Continue your journey to the Black River, where you can take a boat tour through the mangrove forests and spot crocodiles in their natural habitat.

Where can I rent a car in Jamaica with Zest Car Rental?

You won’t want to waste a minute of your time visiting the third largest island in the Caribbean. Fortunately, we serve both major airports in Jamaica, so you can get the keys to your hire car without delay.

Land at Kingston Airport, or the Norman Manley International Airport as it is formally known, to explore the east of the island. Filled with wonderful Colonial architecture, Kingston offers a wonderful insight into the street culture and party atmosphere of Jamaica. Head out to Blue Mountain Peak to explore the highest point on the island or visit the Bob Marley Museum. Alternatively, Castleton Gardens are one of the oldest botanical gardens in the western hemisphere and well worth a visit.

Montego Bay Airport is the gateway to the fascinating western half of Jamaica. Considered one of the most beautiful parts of the Caribbean, you’re sure to leave here with lasting memories. Visit one of the working coffee or pineapple plantations in the area, seek out the magical Dunn’s River Falls and Park in Ocho Rios, or hire a boat and take to the water.
