Budget Rent a Car Jamaica
Satisfying jamaica’s car rental needs
For more than 30 years, Budget Rent a Car Jamaica
has been satisfying the car rental needs of Jamaicans
as well as the many international tourists who visit the
island nation. Today, the company, an independent
licensee of the Budget Corporation for the island of
Jamaica, operates under the administration of the
Tropic Island Trading Company LLC, which, in turn, is a
subsidiary of its parent company, Stewart’s Auto Sales
Limited.
The Stewart family’s automotive history in Jamaica
goes back to 1938, when Stewart’s Auto Supplies &
Repairs was first founded by Lionel Arthur Stewart. By
the 1950s, the company had evolved into Stewart’s
Auto Sales Limited, a dealer in British-made cars. Un-
der continued family leadership, the company contin-
ued to expand over the next several decades, provid-
ing more services, selling more products, creating new
companies, and acquiring more dealerships. Today,
its brands include Suzuki, Mitsubishi, Mercedes-Benz,
Fuso, Mercedes-Benz Commercial, Freightliner, JCB,
Komatsu, Bobcat, Clark, MTU Onsite Energy, Allison,
