We had a VERY last minute trip last year - and for the first time, we went without a driver or a hotel lined up (it was low season). We decided to not rush to get a driver at the airport and had a few rounds of drinks outside at the airport, of course folks coming up offering us rides, but we were in no hurry. Knowing that was our plan going in, it was low stress and we were able to get a few drinks while we haggled for a price on a private ride.

The driver did not believe us when he kept asking us where he would be dropping us in Negril and we told him we weren't sure.... He about flipped when the first place we tried was full, LOL, no worries just a bit down the road and all was good.
