I plan on using JUTA to travel to Negril next week and wondering if you would need to book this in advance and if they have a website that I can book through, or can you just book when you get through customs???

when you get through customs, just go to JUTA desk and tell them you want a transfer to Negril ($25) and you'll be on your way. i have always gotten to Negril this way.
I too wondered how you pulled this off and how much it cost. We have enjoyed our private drivers over the years but we would like to try and save a little money one of these trips.Quote:

Make sense?
Cap
Even though I said "we" I was actually considering it for a solo trip I may pop soon. I travel A LOT and sometimes I just want to get someplace and don't need the extras. I don't have a need to make stops anymore, I just want to get where I am going. I have done the exact math you displayed and that is why we take a private driver, $60 plus a tipseems to be the going rate at least for anyone I have talked to, but for one person it seems like a bit of wasted $$$.Quote:

Different strokes, but I rarely feel the need to tip a negotiated fare unless the driver really went above and beyond in some way.Quote:

Never had to wait much longer th 15mins....
When I travel solo..I do Clives shared ride rate..its about 30$ one way..over half the time I have been the only one in the car so is in reality a private ride many times..if you do share..its usually just one other party..they don't make you wait too long either..
been using JUTA since the 80's and dem fine for most travelers.....many hotels contract out to dem too

Viator.com that uses Holiday Services is the only one mi know that is less expensive than JUTAQuote:

great info on this thread. we have used JUTA when other resorts were picking up the tab and as others said never more than 15 or so mins and 3 stops before ours.
I consider myself on vac when the plane takes off so I am. it in a huge hurry and I enjoy chatting with other travelers and just taking in the scenery.
great info on this thread. I always wanted to ask about the tipping. it does seem kind of silly to negotiate a rate and then tip on top. I do agree though if the driver stops or goes out of his way a tip is in order.
When I've used JUTA, I reserved through their website. Sometimes I like riding with others. http://www.jutatoursnegrilltd.com/to...iservice_2.htm
