    Thumbs up Too Fast.......Passing.......double passing????

    We've been coming to Negril for many years . The ride from the airport in Montego Bay Negril is always interesting. As much as Jamaica slows us down on vacation it doesn't seem to affect some of the drivers on the road. Speed and passing cars seems to be always the subject. This trip I saw many cars double passing. How unsafe is that!! There was a bad accident off the road on the way to the airport last Saturday and our drivers car was side swiped,taking out his side mirror. An inch closer to us and we would have been in a much worse situation. Life is too short! Slow down.

    My driver in 2014 drove like a manic from Mobay to Negril.

    I think that he booked himself to tight and was trying to make time, last time for that guy, he most likely would not accept me again anyway as I gave him quite a blast when we arrived

    The beach road is very dangerous, speed and stoned drivers in cars, trucks and bikes. Took an old friend of mine during our stay in Feb.
    Haven't heard if they ever caught the driver or not? Any Help Rob?

    If you make frequent trips to the island why not find a driver you like and use them each time. Collin from Collins Tours started out as my go to driver and now a consider him a good friend. But Collin , Linston and other great drivers can be found on the Transportation tab at the top of the page.
    Indecision may or may not be my problem

    I like to spread it around and try new drivers.

    We have used Mr. Jerry for many years,and when he can't his brother picks us up. Both are very good.it was another driver passing a car that didn't allow time and distance that hit us. I will never forget years ago when we had a driver nicknamed cowboy. Might have been one of his last pickups as they said he was legally blind.

    From the outset Linston and I have made the client's safety and comfort of primary importance of Linston's taxi.

    We always allow time for a pick up or drop off to be done as comfortably as possible.

    We used Linston this past November. Nice smooth operation from booking til drop off. Ended up we knew a lot the same people from his neighborhood. Had a great time chatting about old days and church roofs used as flight beacons....hehehe
    Will use Linston again. Kind, courteous and a safe driver.
