Kingston is the capital of the Caribbean island of Jamaica. It is the commercial, governmental and financial hub and is also the location of the culturally important Institute of Jamaica, which houses the Institute of Art.
You’ll also find a mesmerising list of places to visit around the city. Often at the top of the list is the Bob Marley Museum, which hosts a vast collection of music memorabilia and many of the great man’s personal belongings. Nearby, the stylish architecture of Devon House is also a popular attraction.
The lure of year-round sunshine draws in tourists from all around the world. If based in Kingston, a car is a necessity for travelling to attractions such as those dedicated to famous Jamaicans, the coastal regions and areas of natural beauty.
Serving Kingston is Norman Manley Airport (KIN). A second international airport, Sangster International (MBJ), is in Montego Bay. Leaving Norman Manley Airport, the journey will take you past the Rockfort on Windward Road, an ancient ruin that once protected the harbour at Kingston.
Most Kingston car rental companies are based at the airport, with a few pick-up points downtown. Pre-booking your Kingston car rental is often the best way to grab a bargain. TravelSupermarket can quickly and effectively compare prices and give you a selection of deals to suit your needs and your pocket.
UK visitors will be pleased to learn that Jamaicans drive on the left.
