How CarRental Caribbean collects, uses and protects your information when you compare car rental offers across Jamaica, Curacao, Barbados and Punta Cana.
CarRental Caribbean ("we," "us," "our") operates carrentalcaribbean.com, a comparison website that helps travelers find and compare car rental offers from trusted local and international suppliers across Jamaica, Curacao, Barbados and Punta Cana. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use our comparison engine, how we use it, and the choices you have. We are not a car rental company - we do not own or operate a fleet, and any booking you complete is a contract between you and the supplier you select, not with us.
When you use our search tool to compare rates for a pickup location such as Montego Bay Airport (MBJ) or any other airport, city, or resort area on the four islands we cover, we collect the search details you enter - pickup and return dates, location, and driver age range. This information is used to return relevant live offers in USD from suppliers and is not required to identify you personally. If you contact us through the contact form, we collect your name, email address and the content of your message so we can respond.
Like most websites, we also automatically collect limited technical information such as browser type, device type, approximate location (city-level, from your IP address), pages viewed and referring website. This helps us understand how visitors use the site and improve the comparison experience, including which islands, airports and topic pages are most useful.
We use cookies and similar technologies to remember your recent searches, keep the site functioning correctly, and understand aggregate traffic patterns across our island hubs, airport pages and city pages. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings, though some parts of the comparison engine may work less smoothly if cookies are disabled.
We use the information described above to: operate and improve the comparison engine so it returns accurate, current USD pricing from local and international suppliers; respond to questions sent through our contact form; understand which pages and islands travelers find most useful, from Jamaica's coastal roads to Curacao's dry-season advantage, Barbados's roundabouts, and Punta Cana's resort pickups; and maintain the security and reliability of the website.
We do not sell your personal information. We do not ask for or store payment card details on our own servers - when you choose an offer and proceed to complete a booking, you do so on the supplier's own booking page, where their privacy and payment terms apply.
We may share limited technical or search information with the suppliers whose offers we display, solely so that a quote or availability check can be returned to you accurately, and with service providers who help us run the website (such as hosting and analytics providers) under confidentiality obligations. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights, safety or property of CarRental Caribbean, our users, or others.
We retain search and contact information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law. We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information in our care, though no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
You may contact us at any time to ask what information we hold about you, to request corrections, or to ask that it be deleted, subject to any legal retention requirements. You may also opt out of non-essential cookies through your browser settings.
Our website and comparison engine are intended for adults planning car rentals - most suppliers on Jamaica, Curacao, Barbados and Punta Cana require drivers to be at least 21, with a young-driver fee often applying under 25. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
