Okay I need suggestions from the boardies :). What driver would be your choice for transfer from MoBay to Negril? It's my 10th reach and am looking for someone who is reliable, safe and knowledgeable. A private driver and someone who will be at the airport with a cooler of red stripes, LOL.
Thanks and looking forward to seeing everyone come this next February.
I recommend Linston.
Very dependable and safe.
Also my son

Michael's On-time Taxi.

My favorite drivers are Luxuriouscaribtours. Very professional and reasonable prices. :)

Lots of great drivers in Jamaica including those already listed. When I find a great one, I stick with him. Currently that's Kingsley James at Take Care Tours.

The best was Alfred...rest in peace.
I use Kingsley Take Care Tours too. Very reliable and nice people wether you get Kingsley himself or his Cousin Prince.
IMO Phillips Taxi which we just used our last trip has the best rates, clean van, on time,reliable mature,knowledgeable and safe driver. You can check out his website on the transportation section on the board.
We love Rocky- Rockys taxis and tours������
I second Luxurious Carib Tours - used them in April and will again in November. Great service, very professional, on time and great pricing!!
Lindsay MacFarlane - SNL Jamaican Tours - used him last November - cold Red Stripe and water in cooler - and will book him again August 2015!
I recommend...Positive Steve stevepositiveja@gmail.com
Cold drink and a fone if you want one!
Patrick @ Esperanza Tours has been driving us for years. esperanza@cwjamaica.com
Linston for sure! Even with the complete screwup of our flights this last trip, Linston was there smilin'.
Always use Rocky & his team for our transfers. All of them are wonderful :)
Another vote for Luxurious Carib. Great customer service with the best prices for transfers I found.
I would suggest that if you want a private transfer that you make that very clear with whoever you select. We did the VIP arrival only to get out to our driver (NOT Luxurious Carib) to find out we had to wait on another couple. We thought we had reserved a private transfer.
Linston!
Michael's On Time.... 'Garnett'
Rocky's!!!!;)
Michaels On Time Taxi
I got to vote for Linston used him for the first time this year our 5th trip. He was really great.
Since I quit renting a car a few years back (after ~30), I've used Colin "Champion" Williams. Nice local lad, clean modern van and very reasonable. He meets us at the Groovy Grouper with a cooler beer of your choice. Heinekens for me, please!

Patrick Clarke has been our private driver for almost 20 years. Insured, bonded and an all around great person. Contact number is 876.847.1536
Wow Patrick Clarke has been my friend too for about 22 years. He had a blue Lauda when I met him at Beach Club. We still regularly text and email today and he always gets us when we return! The one time he came to the States he came to Atlanta and I showed him around for the day.

I highly recommend Shane. Best in Jamaica! 876-572-3599.
We enjoyed Dean from Joe Cool Taxi
My favourite driver was one that I will never use again. I never got his name. He was a lesson in Jamaican culture and a cartoon short at the same time. He was an exaggeration of a Jamaican stereotype that amused and terrified us.
We were hot and sweaty in the throng of the roundabout with too many parcels and fragile bags of alcohol, when a Red Plate stopped at our request. The driver waved us in at our offer and we scooted across the back seat. He had a cell phone pasted to his ear and cut into traffic oblivious of the honks and glares.
He was having a lively conversation filled with colourful words and punctuated with hand gestures with his driving arm. The rudderless cab veered to the shoulder to be quickly corrected and his loud tirade continued. Pocketing the cell, he turned and explained passionately the story of his unfaithful girlfriend. How she had slept, and slept often, with a certain individual. I was impressed that he sincerely looked us in the eyes while addressing us but would have preferred he looked where he was driving!
Now he admitted that recreational sex outside of marriage was not a terrible crime and indeed he himself had some "sugar on the side", but he was completed outraged that his girlfriend and her auxiliary lover had "recreated", in HIS home, in HIS bed. He had not only suffered the sting of infidelity, but worse, the total disrespect of them performing in his own house.
It was clear that she would have to go. Punched up with anger he turned back to his front and disengaged the auto pilot. He reached for his phone and dialled a number. He started to scream into the phone in patois which I loosely translated as an eviction notice. But I soon realized that he was not speaking to his cheating girlfriend but obviously to the co defendant. He had called his girlfriends lover to arrange the eviction. He was expecting her gone when he returned home that evening. He was repeating the accusation that lover boy had disrespected him in his own house and was therefore responsible to remove the girlfriend.
We were grateful the hotel was a straight drive away as I'm sure we wouldn't arrive unscathed had there been obstacles. I tapped the drivers shoulder to announce our hotel. He pulled to the shoulder and I dropped 10$ in the front seat, grabbed our produce and we disembarked. He took off without a goodbye, still attached to his cell phone.
I still wonder how the eviction went. Oh, and I think I'll keep Linston's cell number handy!
L.O.L soon come
we have used Luther for the past 6 years, red plate, fully insured, very safe, always on time for our private airport transfers,drinks and stops if requested, always driving up and down thru Negril for local rides ,phone # 876-363-6575, soon come
We use Joe Cool Taxi and tours almost exclusively, since just after he started his company. We always end up with Joe (Englebert), or his wife Latoya and enjoy the trip and the company! I have sent MANY people to hem over the last few years and everyone has been wow'd by the service and ride they provide!
Alfred was our favorite also! Now we use his cousin Kenny.Quote:
