If there is a local taxi driver you are comfortable with he could do the same, it will just cost a little more for tying up his vehicle for a few hours. Work out the details and agree on costs before you confirm the plan.
Eh, after getting into a minor accident in Jamaica I would strongly discourage riding in a non red plate vehicle. Six inches to the left, and we could have been looking at a mountain of medical expenses. Luckily it wasn't nearly as bad as could have been (almost head on collision at 35-40 mph). Red Plate. Insurance matters.
