You really don't need a car.
Find a taxi driver or two that you like.
Give 'em $50 and they'll be at your beck and call 24 hours a day.
We stayed a couple of months at Jolly Harbour testing the area to see if we truly want to retire there.  And easily survived with taxis and the bus service which can be quite entertaining.  We gave the taxi driver a $20 tip on the trip from the airport, he gave us his card told us to call him anytime.  We did.  And rarely had to wait more than 1/2 hour.
