There is never a good reason to use a white plate vehicle. In addition to having no coverage should your driver be in an at fault accident, you can possibly be held liable to any damages done to the other vehicle and their passengers since you are engaged in an illegal activity by hiring an illegal taxi.
And just last month, at a regular roadside police check, during a check of the car, a gun was found. Both the driver and their tourist passenger, who were riding in a white plate car (illegal taxi) were taken to the Negril Jail lockup. Not a fun way to spend your vacation when there are many great drivers to choose from right on this site! In a white plate vehicle, any crime committed involving that vehicle makes you an accomplice.
