03

Which company is cheapest at Kingston Airport, and what do I give up?

Island is cheapest at Kingston Airport for an Intermediate car, averaging $93 a day over the last 12 months from 602 prices, but you need a credit card at its airport desk. Island holds about $1,903 on your card and does not yet have enough reviews for a score. Alamo averages $111 a day for an Intermediate car over the same 12 months, costing $18 more a day, but holds about $250. Compare those holds before choosing Island for its lower daily price.

The cheapest company can cost you a longer queue or a bigger deposit, so check the review score and desk wait beside each car in the results before you book.

04

Can I trust the cheapest car hire company at Kingston Airport?

Island is the cheapest company at Kingston Airport for an Intermediate car at $93 a day over the last 12 months, but you cannot choose it on a review score yet. Island does not yet have enough reviews for a score, so check its terms before booking rather than treating the low price as a reliability rating. Allow for Island’s average 20-minute desk wait. Alamo averages $111 a day for an Intermediate car over the same 12 months and a 21-minute desk wait, so paying $18 more a day does not shorten the average pickup wait.

Review scores are CarTrawler customers' own, from the last five months; the score and the desk wait sit beside each car in the results.

How much deposit do I need, and can I use a debit card at Kingston Airport?

07

Which car should I choose at Kingston Airport for people and luggage?

Kingston Airport’s Compact cars, such as a Toyota Corolla, average $86 a day for November 2026 around a month before pickup; choose one if you need 5 seats but can limit luggage to 3 bags. For November 2026, an Economy car such as a Suzuki Swift averages $70 a day and seats 5 but takes only 2 bags, so choose it only if you can pack lighter. A Fullsize car such as a Toyota Rush averages $148 a day for November 2026 and takes 5 bags, making the extra space useful when everyone brings luggage. Over the last 12 months, 95% of cars offered are automatic, so you should have plenty to compare when you select automatic. Electric and hybrid cars are not offered, so plan on a conventional car.
