Cheap rentals can be found
If you are content to stay in the tourist zones, you really do not need a car, you can just walk everywhere. If you want to experience other resort areas on the island or attractions, I suggest hiring someone to take you (make sure thier vehicle is safe) or renting a car then getting a local you can trust to take you around. If you get together with a couple other tourists you can cut down your expense and even make a friend or two:)If you feel you need to rent a car and you want to go it alone with no local help, there are plenty of options, all the big rental agencies are located at the Montego Bay and Kingston airports, there are a few exclusive to Jamaica rental agencies that rent such things as jeeps and mopeds, then there are the small local mechanics that rent out cars at a considerable discount (compared to the agencies) Last trip there we rented a little station wagon for less...
