Jamaica 7-Day Car Rental Package from $299 — Everything Included for Your Full Island Exploration

June 1, 2026 8 min read Montego Bay, Jamaica

A week in Jamaica with your own car changes everything. You're not queuing for tour buses, haggling with taxi drivers at resort gates, or paying $80 per person for an organised trip to a waterfall you could drive to yourself in 90 minutes. Kennedy Car Rental's 7-day package is the most popular booking in our fleet for one simple reason: it turns a Jamaica holiday into a genuine exploration — and it costs less than most people expect.

From $299 Full 7-day package, economy sedan
1 Day Free — pay for 6, drive for 7
Unlimited Mileage, island-wide
7 Included Free extras in every package

Everything Included in the 7-Day Package

This is not a stripped-down base rate with extras bolted on at the counter. Every item below is included in your package price, confirmed in writing before you arrive.

7 Days of Rental — Pay for Only 6

Our weekly rate gives you 7 full days for the price of 6. Your rental clock starts from vehicle pickup — not your booking date. Drive on day 7 without a day-rate charge appearing on your bill.

Free Meet-and-Greet Pickup at Sangster International (MBJ)

Our driver meets you in the arrivals hall with your name on a board. No airport taxi ($35–$50), no shuttle, no waiting outside in the Jamaican heat with your luggage trying to figure out who's legitimate. We handle it from the moment you exit customs.

Free Airport Drop-Off on Departure Day

The package also covers your end-of-trip return to the airport. We'll coordinate your drop-off time based on your departure flight, ensuring you arrive with time to spare. That's two taxi fares eliminated — typically $70–$100 USD in total savings for a 7-day trip.

Unlimited Mileage Across All of Jamaica

Drive from Montego Bay to Kingston (3.5 hrs), south to Treasure Beach (2.5 hrs), east to Port Antonio (5 hrs). No kilometre caps, no overage charges. The island is yours for the week.

Comprehensive Insurance — No Gaps

Full collision damage waiver and third-party liability coverage compliant with Jamaican law. No insurance upsell at the counter, no fine-print exclusions for certain road types. You're covered, island-wide, for 7 days.

Jamaica Driving Orientation Guide

First time driving in Jamaica? At handover we provide a practical briefing: left-side driving tips, key road conditions for your planned route, speed camera locations, toll road information, and fuel station recommendations. Most visitors tell us this 10-minute conversation prevents 90% of first-day stress.

24/7 Roadside Assistance Across the Island

Flat tyre in the Blue Mountains at midnight. Battery dead outside Negril at 7 AM. We dispatch assistance anywhere on the island, any time, at no additional charge. One number to call: 1876-813-4083.

Which Vehicle Should You Book for 7 Days?

The right vehicle depends entirely on where you're planning to go. Here's how our most popular 7-day vehicle choices break down:

Economy Sedan
From $299/week · Best for solo travellers and couples on a budget staying on the North Coast (Negril, Falmouth, Ocho Rios)
Budget Pick
Midsize Sedan
From $385/week · Best for couples who want extra comfort and boot space for luggage. Handles all main tourist routes easily.
Comfort Pick
Compact SUV (RAV4)
From $469/week · Best seller. Ideal for families of 3–4, couples with luggage, anyone visiting south coast or mountain roads.
Top Pick
7-Seat Minivan
From $599/week · Best for groups of 5–7 and extended families. Maximum luggage space and passenger comfort for the week.
Family Pick
🚙

Kennedy's honest recommendation: For most 7-day Jamaica trips, the Toyota RAV4 Compact SUV is the right choice. It handles every road type you'll encounter — from the smooth A1 coastal highway to the mountain roads to Nine Mile and YS Falls — comfortably carries a family of 4 with luggage, and the fuel economy keeps running costs low across 7 days of island exploration. Book the SUV first; if it's unavailable on your dates, we'll match you to the best available alternative.

7-Day Jamaica Road Trip Itinerary

Here's how over 60% of our 7-day package customers actually spend their week — a tried and tested route that covers the best of Jamaica without any rushed driving:

Day Base / Destination Drive from MBJ What to Do
Day 1 Montego Bay Settle in, Doctor's Cave Beach, Hip Strip dinner
Day 2 Negril ~1.5 hrs Seven Mile Beach, Rick's Café cliff jumping at sunset
Day 3 Falmouth + Rose Hall loop ~30 min east Georgian architecture, Luminous Lagoon evening boat tour
Day 4 Ocho Rios ~2 hrs east Dunn's River Falls (go early!), Fern Gully drive, Blue Hole
Day 5 Kingston ~2.5 hrs from Ocho Rios Bob Marley Museum, Devon House ice cream, Blue Mountains drive
Day 6 South Coast (YS Falls + Black River) ~3 hrs from Kingston YS Falls natural pool, Black River crocodile safari, Pelican Bar

Driving times are approximate under normal conditions. Jamaica's scenic roads occasionally involve winding routes — always download an offline map (Google Maps or Maps.me) for each day's route before leaving your accommodation. For Days 5–6, a compact SUV or larger is strongly recommended.

7-Day Package Frequently Asked Questions

1 Can I extend my rental beyond 7 days on the same package rate?
Yes. Additional days are discounted — you won't pay the standard daily rate. Contact us before your return date to arrange an extension. The 24/7 roadside assistance and insurance coverage continue through any extension period at no extra cost.
2 Is a second driver included free in the 7-day package?
One additional listed driver is included free on all 7-day packages. Both drivers must be present at vehicle pickup with their valid licences. Unlisted drivers are not permitted to operate the vehicle — this is an insurance requirement, not just policy.
3 Can I modify my booking after I've confirmed and paid the deposit?
Yes — date changes and vehicle upgrades are accommodated subject to availability at no modification fee. Downgrades may affect your package rate. Contact us as early as possible if your plans change, and we'll find the best solution without penalising you.
4 What is the cancellation policy for the 7-day package?
Cancellations made 72 hours or more before your scheduled pickup receive a full deposit refund. Cancellations within 72 hours may forfeit the deposit. We assess genuine emergencies on a case-by-case basis — if something serious comes up, call us directly and we'll work with you.
5 Can I start my 7 days from Kingston instead of Montego Bay?
Yes. While our standard free pickup is from Sangster International (MBJ) in Montego Bay, we can arrange vehicle pickup from our Kingston location (28–30 South Camp Road, Kingston). Contact us when booking to discuss logistics and confirm any applicable arrangement fee for the Kingston option.
6 Does the package cover driving to all areas of Jamaica including rural roads?
Yes. Unlimited mileage and comprehensive insurance cover all paved public roads across Jamaica. There are no geographic exclusions. Our recommendation to use an SUV for south coast and mountain routes is purely practical — ground clearance — not an insurance restriction.
