About Renting a Car at Sangster International Airport
Sangster International Airport (MBJ) in Montego Bay is Jamaica's busiest airport with a total of 26 car rental companies - the largest selection on the entire island. The terminal is located 3 km north of Montego Bay center, and rental desks are centralized in the arrivals hall for convenient pickup. With so many options, you can easily compare prices and find the right car for your Jamaica trip.
From the airport, it's just a 20-minute drive east on A1 to Rose Hall Great House and its three golf courses. Dunn's River Falls in Ocho Rios is reached in 1.5 hours via A1 - Jamaica's most visited natural attraction with its 180-meter-high terraces. With 26 rental companies, competition is fierce - book online in advance for the best price, but have a backup option in case the car doesn't match the description.
Always inspect the car carefully and photograph any damage before departure. Fill up at the Texaco station 2 km from the airport - cheaper than in tourist areas. What's the fastest route from Sangster Airport to Negril?
