    travellers cheques or Cash?

    2014 seems like a lifetime ago - 58 trips under my belt but somehow still uncomfortable with the Cambio - all eyes on me as I enter - and leave
    any current helpful tips are appreciated

    What would induce you to feel more comfortable?

    Have your taxi driver accompany you to and from the atm, give him a couple bucks , and all is good !!!

    Carrie, it is true, many eyes are you in Negril, trust that, especially going to the bank, cambios, and ATMs.........trust that !

    Scotia Bank ATM at Time Square is the best bet. Not many eyes are watching you, outside of the shopkeepers who want you to come in and spend some money. With fees, you are in the same ballpark as bringing cash and using a cambio. I bring two cards from two different accounts, just in case one is compromised, however I have never had one compromised in Jamaica.

    Lee if you're wanting to use a more private cambio...try the FX Trader/Western Union next to the HiLo.

    Bnewb, I knew it was something like that...lol..... I just wanted to let lee know that I understood her anxiousness going to the bank, I like going to the Scotia bank, because I always
    withdraw U.S. money, and not sure if any of the other places offer the choice
