rent a car from Avis all the time the way people drive in Jamaica , I buy the full insurance. If it get hit I'm covered, do the same in the USA. Stop let it seam like its JA only place do that
Really helpful tips Lexi! I never realized how many fees these companies can tack on. I tend to rent cars through the more major companies , and it definitely gets pricey! I do try and rent the smallest vehicle possible, definitely gets the job done 🤷🏼♀️
Girl you fool fool. that's all that is. two u avi know how to drive properly. second nuh go show off and act like u rich. third nuh men people drive ur car unless u put them on the contract and it insured. Men sure u check everything beforee u sign off and do a walk around when u also take it back and sign off. I go one step further I take pictures of aver nick and things missing int he car. Stop quoting Jamaica dollars and pretend it is a lot. this if u nuh met old money nuh go jamaica and show off. you cannot rent a car anywhere without a credit car. same thing in any country especially USA. So I can tell u shouldn't rent cars as u can't drive a ja and u nawh men enough money up here. No u returnbt he car within the time specify that u agree to. So schedule the return approximate 2 hours to your flight. who does that not adjust the time.
No u rent the car at the time u going to travel. no not true about gas. u can pay up front for the gas so u can carry back emppty. stop vlogging about things u have very little info about
Thanks for the USD conversion. That’s is why I don’t do rental cars when I’m am traveling. Uber, Lyft and local public transportation are the best bet in my opinion
Oh my. Yes, so much to consider. You really explained this very well. Such tremendous information. Thank you so much!!! So helpful to anyone renting a car. 😁
OMG!!😱 I am soo sorry this happened to you!! And so much money?! Holy crap! Well this was definitely so informative and helpful! Thank you for sharing all of this important information and sharing your experience! I hope you won’t have an awful experience again!
I am so sorry to hear about your loss .I am a jamaican and to be honest I think that thees car rental in Jamaica is over doing it by adding all these ridiculous charges.
A few years ago when I went to Cancun they were trying to charge us an arm and a leg to rent a car. They were sugar coating it at first. When I realized how much it was going to be i said no thank you and walked away.
It’s fab how you did a conversion chart for USD girl, will be very helpful for many! It’s mad how many fees they then bring up…. deffo can’t just go off of the one day fee they make out it would cost at the start… also mad you have to give back the car full tank! So that’s even more expense! This is so extremely useful & so many fab tips! You deffo need to be careful of those hidden costs 😂 btw you look beautiful as always!xxxx
Rental cars are no joke but it really is a must in travels like that. I always want my hold back too lol I appreciate you doing the USD conversions so I wouldn’t be lost
Private Rental sound good, but how do you ensure that you are covered in case of an accident or damages? What if the police stopped you and ask if the car is yours or it's a rental, what would you say Yes/No..... If YES is the person renting you the car is a register as rental company. I'm so confused about this....
There is accident forgiveness in the fees in case of damage to the car. Also, if the police stops you the car has its documents and there is also a disclaimer that it’s a rental and the company will give you a 24/7 number to which you can call if you get into any problems.
@@JustLexiSimple This only apply when renting from a registered car company like Hertz, Island Rental, Avis etc. If you rent privately how will you be covered is case of an accident or damages to the vehicle or street furniture. Could you rent your private car in Jamaica without needing some special rental insurance coverage.
Everything was sounding decent until you mentioned how much insurance was a day. That is absolutely CRAZY!!! And the fact that they charge you anything additional in USD is also ridiculous.
9:53? Pshhh, nah f that. I need a full size with more power, just in case some likkle local buwai pon di endz waan fi try ah ting. Press on that gas and be out as soon as i call for the power. 🚗💨💨💨💨💨💨
Lots of good info yet this is NOT UNIQUE to Jamaica. The fees for renting a car everywhere I’ve travelled are extravagant. CONDITION: As for condition of the car before and after I suggest taking photos before you drive off & as soon as you drive I the rental return lot (detailed inside and out) This includes a picture of the dashboard showing mileage, gas level & any warning lights that appear BEFORE you drive off the lot.
Uber is not that accessible in most parishes in Jamaica but they are trying. Taxis are available but some persons prefer driving over being driven. Thanks for watching dearest Ebony

Ohh that was nothing, I pay $800 deposit, which I got back in ten days time. That was different from the insurance and the money you pay to rent the car
You can reserve from now, honestly when you’re in the country and doing it “last minute” there are a lot of hidden fees and if you use your credit card, I’m not sure how long it’s going to take to get the deposit refunded.
You have to rent the car during their operating hours. Otherwise they bill you for that, eg if you rent the car at 5pm on Saturday and you rent it for 7 days, you have to bring it back at 5pm in 7 days if my memory serves me correctly

Girlllll I couldn’t agree with you more. Or just ask a friend, pay for the gas and everything. Cuz Jesus knows

Happy you found it helpful
And The way you defended the 220 USD HILARIOUS!
Yes! Had to defend the money! We are frugal out in them streets
I am so sorry to hear about your loss .I am a jamaican and to be honest I think that thees car rental in Jamaica is over doing it by adding all these ridiculous charges.
AGREED!
A few years ago when I went to Cancun they were trying to charge us an arm and a leg to rent a car. They were sugar coating it at first. When I realized how much it was going to be i said no thank you and walked away.
Amen, I don’t wrong you at all

Wow I’ve never even thought about some of this!!! Thanks for sharing
You’re welcome dear
Thank you so much for all of this information. I have rented cars multiple times but I am usually able to find great discounts here in California
Thanks for watching hun
Wow! I don’t know if I want to rent a car. I’ve never done it before but I think after this video i am reluctant.
Thanks for these tips, I would’ve loved to know this before I went to borrow/rent a car.
You’re welcome dear
Rental cars are no joke but it really is a must in travels like that. I always want my hold back too lol
I appreciate you doing the USD conversions so I wouldn’t be lost
My windshield just cracked & I honestly do feel anxious about random damage in a rental.
How much are deposits usually ? I read in their policies $500 - $1000 usd. Who has the lowest deposit?

Exactly! This is why people just do business with the small entrepreneurs who just charge for daily use, no strings attached.
Girl!!! Thanks for the tips! But my goodness ! “Just know you ain’t getting that money back” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow the price makes not even want to attempt to rent a car 😳
I agree with renting a smaller car
I also recommend taking a video of your car when you get it so that way if there’s any disputes you have evidence 🤣
Yes dear everywhere becoming the same with their renting of car it crazy.
Crazy indeed!

Great vibes and content.
Thank you so much Robert!

Thanks so much for sharing. This is a useful comment 🙏🏾
save money and enjoy vacation.
Facts
I really liked the breakdown and the detail when talking about prices. Whew it’s expensive and you don’t even reach on the road yet
Thanks for watching
I remember you did a video about Uber being in Jamaica now, is Uber available in most cities? Would you recommend Ubering instead of renting a car?
Uber is not that accessible in most parishes in Jamaica but they are trying. Taxis are available but some persons prefer driving over being driven.
Thanks for watching dearest Ebony
@@JustLexiSimple thanks for letting me know!
You have to rent a car 🚗 privately in Jamaica 🇯🇲 where you pay cash jmd

@@stoneyvill exactly 💯 that's why I would never do it
@@stoneyvill This is not the police business.
@@warrenmorgan235 I’ve been asked before if the call is a rental or family member because the name on the paperwork is different from my license.
The person you rent the car from will school you in the process. It is more economical to patronize private rentals.
I Never hire a car without full damage waiver insurance, complete trouble free motoring.
I totally get you
Ohh that was nothing, I pay $800 deposit, which I got back in ten days time. That was different from the insurance and the money you pay to rent the car
So I'm planning to visit JA next April. Is it better to reserve the car from now or wait till I get there?
You can reserve from now, honestly when you’re in the country and doing it “last minute” there are a lot of hidden fees and if you use your credit card, I’m not sure how long it’s going to take to get the deposit refunded.
@@JustLexiSimple oh, well I'll reserve from now then. Thank you for your reply
Hello, I need help renting a car
but if you rent the car in the evening dont thay charge you for the whole of that day?
You have to rent the car during their operating hours. Otherwise they bill you for that, eg if you rent the car at 5pm on Saturday and you rent it for 7 days, you have to bring it back at 5pm in 7 days if my memory serves me correctly
I am somewhat disabled so I rented a car every time I am in Jamaica
I understand. Thanks for watching. Hope you have a great weekend
That’s crazy that you have to deal with this just to rent a car.
Crazy indeed
Lol
You make getting scammed by rental companies in Jamaica sounds like fun for tourists
I will 🚶 walk instead. 🇯🇲😏
Lol! At this rate, doesn’t sound like a bad idea
Yeah, walk and get mugged.
🛑 laughing not funny
It was my account of an experience I had and I never said it was funny however looking back you just have to make light of a situation.
