Rental Information

The renter and all approved drivers must be in possession of a full, valid driving licence for at least 2 years. Furthermore, the following conditions apply depending on the issuing country of the driving licence.

Driving license printed with non Roman Alphabet (Arabic, Japanese, Cyrillic etc) must be complemented by an International driving licence.

Please show a valid driver's license and identity card/passport at the time of pick up.

Photocopies, digital licenses, Learner's Permits, and driver's licenses with driving restrictions will not be accepted.

In Jamaica, the following rules apply for the minimum age and possession of a driver's licence:

A surcharge applies for young drivers under 25 years.

The maximum age for rentals is 75 years.

We accept credit cards from internationally recognized credit card companies: Visa, Mastercard, American Express. Discover, Diners Club and others are not accepted.

We do not accept any prepaid cards and debit cards (VISA Electron).

Sixt Express Service cards are only accepted in combination with a valid credit card.

Please note, that payments with credit card may require the PIN of the credit card.

An advance charge approval is obtained for the chosen means of payment as a security. The exact deposit is determined on collection since the amount is dependent on the vehicle (approval of the excess applicable plus fuel deposit; different amounts are possible).

No bonus miles or points can be credited with this partner.

The renter must be the owner of the indicated credit card. The authorised driver details and method of payment will be confirmed at reservation stage and cannot be amended. The confirmed credit card should be valid and available for presentation on collection of the vehicle. All extra costs that occur during the car rental will be charged to this credit card. By booking of a prepaid rate, the credit card will be charged before the start of rental, directly with the estimated total amount of rental. The amount that will be charged on your credit card comprises the price of rental as well as all additional extra fees. The rental charge (plus any other charges agreed such as, e.g. exemptions from liability, delivery charges, airport charges etc.) plus value added tax in the statutory amount applicable from time to time must, as a matter of principle, be paid in full for the agreed rental period, i.e. if the vehicle is collected late or returned early there shall be no refund.

A prepaid booking can be changed up to 48 hours before the start of the rental (depending on availability) in return for a booking modification fee of 20,00 USD. Any payment already made towards the rental will not be refunded; nor shall any differential amount be refunded if this modification leads to a lesser rental cost. Any changes made to a prepaid reservation may impact the rental rate. A change from a prepaid rate to a non-prepaid rate is not possible.

Cancellation

A booking can be cancelled before the start of the rental. In the event of cancellation, the payment already made towards the rental will be paid back subject to a cancellation charge. The cancellation charge shall be the amount of the rental charge ( including any extras and charges) for a maximum of 3 rental days. Cancellations can be made online or in writing and must be addressed to: Sixt Jamaica HQ, Sunsational Car Rental & Tours Ltd, 31234 Providence Drive 00000 White Sands Beach P.O., Montego Bay, Jamaica, International Reservation Hotline: +1 876 952 1212, E-Mail: reservations@sixt.com.jm

Cancellations or changes made within 24 hours of booking can be completed free of charge, provided the scheduled pick-up time is more than 48 hours away.

No-show In the event that the booked vehicle is not collected or not collected at the agreed time the rental charge already paid shall be withheld in full.

Protection coverage for the vehicle rented includes Third Party Liability with a maximum cover of JMD 1.000.000,00 for personal injuries and material damages.

Excluded from the protection is the use of the vehicle for the transport of dangerous goods. All protection as part of the rental contract will become void, in particular, if an unauthorized driver has used the vehicle or if the driver of the vehicle does not possess the required driver's licence at the time of the event giving rise to claim.
