When I haggle in any country: I almost always bid half of what they ask and go from there; unless the ask is unusually low or high. I also have a max price in mind.
As for taxis in Negril, as Bnewb said, I have a set price during the day. At night, I'll budge if it looks like I might be stuck for a while.
Depends on where your coming from & going to ...say I'm travelling between the RIU & oh, let's just say for fun ...The Caves -
that's gonna cost ya ...
now if I wanna go from Jah B's to Mi Yard ... much easier to haggle
Do you have a AI bracelet on ???- cost ya more
1st timer or savvy vet ? - you get my drift -
rarely do I haggle ..I know what I want to pay & offer it - & if it's too steep of a price ...walk good
If I'm solo I just take a red plate route taxi and pay the rate but round up as a tip and to avoid change.
When it's Donna and me and one of our regulars isn't available I offer twice the route rate pp, again rounding up plus more for waiting or jumping the route. Like Treehouse to Three dives. Almost never had to haggle just move on. In either case if we click I get a card or number. You can never have too many reliable friends that drive!
