the problem is tic toc, not to be redundent.. but i dont believe there is such a thing as a rental in jamaica without a 1200 OR 1500$us deposit.. and it is also my understanding that insurance or not -if there are ANY damages - they WILL take the first 1200 or 1500$ directly ffrom that deposit.. and the insurance doesnt kick in tell it goes over the deposit amount.. so that $50 a day COULD cost you $1550us.. now - if you have a credit card and can afford to take the risk - go for it.. but it sounds like a couple hundred bucks is TOO much?! i wouldnt think gambling $1500 would be your style..

correct my thinking about this deposit thing if i am incorrect..

also, i hired my driver for a similar trip for $250 - not even haggling.. i am sure you could do at least as well.. probably less.. if it was me, i would talk to drivers once you arrive for your month - youll find the best deal when they know your serious and ready to roll..

Island has a plan that requires only a $250ish deposit. It's an extra $25 a day, but you have zero liability in case of an accident. Unless of course you've been drinking or anything like that...all bets are off with any rental company if that's the case.

Yes there are quite a number of car rental places in Jamaica that do not require credit card deposit,I know people that use them some of them are Jamaicans and some tourists both not having used a credit card.
The 250 usd deposit is just incase the car is not brought back on time it will not be touched for damages if the nil liability insurance is paid for.
Thanks ohliz for all the little extra bits of advice and wrtiii and beachgirl they are definately other options to consider which you have suggested.
