About Us

Avis Rent A Car and its affiliate companies operate one of the world’s most popular car rental brands with over 5,000 locations in more than 165 countries. Avis continues to be a leader in the car rental industry in terms of innovation, and is one of the premier global brands for customer loyalty. Avis is a subsidiary of Avis Budget Group, Inc., which operates and licenses the brand worldwide.

Bargain Rent-a-Car (Jamaica) Limited is the licensee for Avis in Jamaica. We have over three decades of experience in the car rental industry, having been in operation since 1983. In 2004, we became Avis, bringing the world-class Avis car rental service to Jamaica.

Why Avis?

More Locations

We think that it’s really important to be where you need us the most – so we have five (5) locations across the island. We have car rental facilities in both International Airports (Kingston and Montego Bay) and in Ocho Rios – a favourite for locals and tourists alike. We also have two offices strategically located in the business districts of New Kingston and Half-Way-Tree.

Large, Diverse Fleet

We know that different travelers have different needs, and will therefore want to hire different types of cars. Travelling with colleagues for business? Our sedans, which range from compact to full-size cars would be idyllic. Rolling with the whole family? You’ll love our spacious minivans or buses. Planning on exploring the gorgeous Blue Mountains? We’ve got you covered with our line of SUVs.

Attractive Rates

Our rental rates are competitive. We also offer extra special deals to groups; and our corporate rates are among the lowest on the island.  

GPS Navigators

While friendly Jamaicans can often point you in the right direction, our GPS Navigators will help you to find your way around the island with precision and ease. The comprehensive maps on our Garmin GPS units include not just roads, but points of interest such as hotels, restaurants, attractions, ATMs, hospitals and so much more.  

24-Hour Complimentary Roadside Assistance

Your peace of mind is our peace of mind. In the unlikely event of operational difficulty or an unexpected emergency, Avis is there for you – 24/7. Whether you’ve gotten a flat tyre, locked the keys in the car or need a jump-start, you can count on us.

Car Sales

Avis Car Sales is designed for those looking to purchase quality, well-maintained used vehicles. The programme features a selection of late-model cars, great prices and a no-haggle, no-hassle car buying process.
