Has anyone used this company? Safe and reliable vehicles? Yes, I have driven in Jamaica before. Where on Norman Manley are they? I flunked the tourist driving test at my first turn by turning on the windshield wipers instead of the turn signal. Thanks for the info.

They went out of business years ago. It was an attempt to have a Jamaican made auto, which oddly enough we saw a yellow and purple pass us today.
It may have been an idea before its time....

Here's the original idea from 1970. The Morris Mini-Moke. I actually had one. I was very good at being broken down.

Yah man, the Mokie was the "idea" behind the Island Crusier. A Safari Type vehicle with removable doors and roof. Kind of like the WV Thing. The reason you still see some on the road today is that the creator of the vehicle built a heavy duty chassis and used Toyota engines and parts to create a hopefully viable vehicle. Although they have been out of business for years, you still see them on the roads in Negril! Even purple and yellow! (grin)

I rented one years ago and drove the heck out of it all over the island. My only complaint was that the car itself was too wide for driving on narrow winding mountain roads.
Halfwaytree,
I always described it as driving a very big go-kart... (grin)
They were fun to drive!

Nowadays I prefer something a bit more substantial for everyday use in the hills.
