Yvonne- Sorry to take so long to respond. Haven't seen this thread in a while. Below is the website address. Let him know Kirt says hello, and will be contacting him about our future needs.

Respect

Thanks Kirt!

I didn't get to use Patrick on my last trip but he is extremely professional and reliable. I think he's now Patrick Tours but used to be Esperanza.

I also use Terry Malcolm (RoboCop) - he used to be beach security at NBCC but is now a private taxi driver. He can be reached on Facebook or call him 876-454-7330

Kirt... I booked w/ Joe Cool but got this very disappointing message back... "So sorry but we have no regular for that day, but we could do a private for $40 one way so $80 round trip. Please let us know if you confirm."

Obviously, I cancelled. When I'm looking to save money & he advertises $30 RT, to get this notice leaves me feeling like it's a bait & switch scenario. This is one week out & he can only do a private ride for more $$$? Really? Something doesn't seem right. I'm sticking w/ Clive.

We have been using Big Ship Tours for the last 5 years or so. What sold us on BigShipTours was the year our flight was delayed by 8 hours. We were scheduled to arrive at 1:30pm and did not arrive until 10:30pm, when we arrived, to our surprise, Big Ship Tours was waiting for us.

He charges $18/person each way for 4 or more.

Call Dudley for reservation (876) 772-8759 or 386-9510
Office (876) 955-4210

That's the cheapest I've ever seen for a private transfer. Not ideal for a single but still, noted.

It might be cheap but I didn't request a private transfer. Being on a limited income, I was trying to save money. To go from $30 for a regular/shared ride to $80 w/ plenty of notice, makes me wonder if, in reality, there are shared rides.

Once again, travel as a single ends up costing more. Of course, that is my choice :-) I'm just happy to be traveling to Negril.

$30 for a shared ride is good most of the time I have been the only one. I have always found Clives very reliable.

That's a competitive price.
