I need a car

10/28/2017 13:33 EST

I am in Stony Hill, Kingston for a few months and need a car. Rentals are expensive at US$30 per day. Does anyone have one I can use while I am here please?

$30 per day is very cheap for a rental. I can't even believe you got such a cheap rate on that island. So you want a good samaritan to lend you their car for free, and assume all liability for it while they're at it? Do I have that right?

Agree, $30 is a good rate for Jamaica. One reason car rentals tend to be expensive there is because your chances of getting into an accident or getting some kind of car damage are pretty good, based on the way people drive. Which you've probably figured out by now. I'm not sure who would lend you a car for a few months for free. Especially in Kingston.

Lol... I love that you thought I wanted one for free!
I lived in Spain where rentals are US$20 per day or less.
Accidents etc would be my liability too, with insurance to cover it.
I have bought a runaround car now, which I will sell or garage when I leave. This is a much cheaper option.
Thanks anyway.
