For years Negril.com has been warning of the hazards of taking illegal robot taxis (white license plate, not insured to carry paying passengers vehicles). But some visitors still do not heed this advice just to save a few dollars. Irresponsible web pages even promote some of these illegal drivers.
Well, it may soon become law that as a passenger you could be be charged with aiding and abetting the illegal driver.
Fuel prices alone have gone up 40% in the past year. The prices that our legal, insured operators in our Transport section charge are affordable and fair.
Please be wise and always use legal, red plated drivers. Saving a few dollars is not worth being not insured and possibly ending up with a criminal conviction.
