What are the current Taxi rates for mid beach - say Pineapple to the Cliffs or Seastar?
You can negotiate a private charter taxi to approximately 500j a couple from Grand Pineapple to the short cliffs...more for Seastar, Ricks area etc.
Route taxi is 130j per person from Grand Pineapple to downtown Negril and a second route taxi from downtown Negril to the cliffs is 130j per person.
Beach to West End locations like Seastar I offer up $10 for two during the daytime. I recall one time where the driver wouldn't have it and I moved on. This is for a private charter, not route taxi. You can split hairs and save a buck or two, but why?Quote:

getting a route taxi or any kind of driver late at night or in the early hours of the morning are ruff on the West End......
even calling your usual driver at this time at night you will get no answer......
beach road is never really much of a problem as their always taxis and drivers running......

As a tourist, calling the driver you regularly use day or night will not be a problem as that is their job. You can also have the restaurant, bar or hotel contact a driver for you. This applies to the West End as well as the beach road.Quote:

If you need to regularly get around during late or early hours, you need to arrange a schedule in advance with your driver. This way they can adjust their hours for you.
