The best way to experience Jamaica is by car because the island has over 17,000 kilometers of road network which connects all major towns and cities. A new player has entered Jamaica’s vibrant car rental market, bringing a fresh and innovative approach for travelers and locals alike. If you’ve ever rented a car in Jamaica, you may have experienced an element of surprise and perhaps even disappointment with what showed up as most local car rental companies don’t show you the actual vehicle until it’s time to collect the keys. Arah Rides launched in April 2024 to fill that niche and redefine the customer experience of renting a car in Jamaica through a unique blend of transparency, convenience, affordability, and modern technology. Here are 5 features which sets Arah Rides apart from other car rental companies.

A Vision for Seamless Travel
Stock PhotoKarl Simms, founder of Arah Rides, identified a gap in the Jamaican car rental market a few years ago when oftentimes what he booked didn’t match his expectations. Traditional car rental companies require you to book a vehicle category such as “compact car,” so details like the exact model or even age of the unit are a mystery until collection day. Like any well-thinking individual, Karl decided to be the change he wanted to see and built a platform that allows you to see the actual vehicle and learn about all its specs such as make, model, transmission, year and odometer reading before you commit to renting, never afterwards. Karl’s keen understanding of the unique challenges faced by travelers in Jamaica has developed Arah Rides’ customer-centric approach which sets them apart from traditional rental companies.

Clients are also able to personalize their bookings with a variety of pickup and drop-off locations across the island for greater convenience. You can also leave a public review of your vehicle and read what past clients had to say about the car in which you’re interested.
