We used Linston last week, he was on time, super nice, and a very safe driver. Highly recommended and we will use him again next trip.

Craziest ride I have had in Jamaica was after sampling the wares at miss Browns. We were in the truck with the guy who used to run air time parasailing, I think his name was Peter. I screamed at him the whole time to stop because he was driving on the wrong side of the road. Turns out it musta been the tea because he assured me the next day that we were on the appropriate side of the road the whole time lol. God I love Negril
OK, Its a crazy driver thread/story time. Stayed at Half Moon Bay and the driver who dropped me off was supposed to pick me up...This was pre cell phone days, heck at my age, there may have been no phones. No way to get a hold of this person, so 1 1/2 hours before lift off I start to realize that this could get interesting and start hitch-hiking. Being the thrifty person I am, try haggling on the price. aaah, no. Took the 3rd driver and were off to MoBay. I ask the driver, can we make it in time and get the standard answer, Yea mon,nu prublum. This guy made NASCAR look like a play ground game. Well lets just say, in high school we had many Miss Browns events and learned driving this way, so he no scare me... 4 people in a Corolla with bad shocks, double passing (double passing is 3 wide)everywhere but Lucea it took us around 45 minutes on the old road to get there. I was the last one to board the plane. Yet, another Negril moment and I love everyone one of 'emOriginally Posted by Irieonline
it was a lot more fun in 79 on my first trip. People drove just as fast but the road was quite different. "i Survied the road to Negril" wasn't just a T-shirt.
i am already leary of using unknown drivers for the simple reason that they consume whatever substance . . . and drive!!
the last few reaches i have used lloyd haughton and his wife carol. courteous, on time, no substance abuse, meticulous clean vehicle and a pleasure to have them drive me.
also had a trip to accompong with linston and will use him again for mayfield. super!

Is Linston only able to take up to 3 passengers?
mjc12771,
Yes. We are one car and one driver.
We examined expansion and decided that we would remain in a one car one driver niche. (although the car will change soon)
Being in debt to a new bus or having other drivers carry our clients and not getting Linston was not acceptable.
Linston's Taxi is only one part of our projects in Jamaica.
We still have to manage Zion Hill and it's growth. Ask any of the boardies that have visited
So yes only one card and one driver

I have used several of the drivers mentioned in the Transport section, and all were safe and did not drive like an idiot. If you are concerned reach out to one of them.
I have emailed Linston twice in the past three weeks about our trip in September asking for prices and have not heard anything back. Is there some other way I should reach out to him?
Hi,
Linston's email is linston@redplate-negril.com
Sorry but we've never received your mail.
Also you can also contact him thru me here at the board via PM
