    Re: Car Rental pick up in Negril?

    I too use my camera to take a quick video of my rental car when I get it - I just film while the rental guy is doing his walk-around and marking the rental form with pre-existing scratches/dents and showing me the spare and tools. Then I film the interior showing radio, floor mats, etc. That way there is no doubt the video was taken at rental time.

    Then I take a video at return, time, too. Just a quick one if someone does inspection while I am there - a more extensive one if not. Some of them try to come after you, financially, days later claiming there was damage.

    I learned this from a Consumer Warrior radio advice talk-show years ago.
    And it has saved me a couple times...in the USA! So noone should think this is something that happens just in JA.

    Thanks for all the responses. I ended up going with Island. Even though they had the delivery fee for bringing the car from Mobay it ended up cheaper than doing Vernon's. And their deposit was only $250. In the states I use my credit cards instead of the buying the CDW and even though I had a World Master Card that would have covered the minimum in JA, I went with the $30/day for the complete coverage. I was only renting for 2 days so it wasn't much extra and it came in handy, because it covers tires/rims which the basic did not, and I hit a pretty decent size pot hole in Mandeville that put a few dents in the hubcap. Oops!
