Renting a car

Every time I rent a car in the US I am impressed. Within minutes you have your car (if it does not say go straight to lot A25, your car is waiting for you) and the return process is even faster.
Renting a car in Jamaica is a slightly different experience. It took over an hour for a simple 2 day car rental. Things were typed into a calculator and separately into a computer, hand notes were taken, copies of the cover pages of our passports (the red outside with the white cross on it...) were made etc. In the process she could not read my hand writing and took the time to show me how some letters and numbers should be written…
In the end we got a document which said 3 days instead of 2 and none of the key facts were covered. She explained that it had to be done like that but everything will be ok.
