Probably a question for Marko but any reply welcome.
Family headed to Sav to drop off donations for a school. I believe we have transport there covered but may stay longer and find our own way back. What’s the best means and cost to get from Sav la mar back to negril.?

Ken and family
Try a route taxi? It's an experience! I did that alone from Little London to the Negril taxi park . Then from the taxi park, get another route taxi to where you maybe headed. I paid $130 JA. Good luck. one love.
Thanks RnR farmer,
130j for the route taxi to negril? That’s like $1.50 can. Is that correct?
Route taxi fare from Sav to beach is 265 per person . Times 5 = 1,325 = 11.00 US (+/-)Originally Posted by Weeboy1
If you fill the taxi in Sav it won't be a route any more as the driver cannot pick up and drop off along the road so it will be a charter.
No way a route is going to do that for 1,320 JA . You could split up and have 1 or 2 people in 2 or 3 taxis. You really want to do that?
Just arrange a charter and pay the fee.

Thanks Capt , understood.
CaptD, what should a charter cost one way to negril?
Sav La Mar,
A very great people watching place.
Many stores and Vendors lining up and down the street.
I don't know where the School is, so you may need to get
from the school to the main part of the town.
So, I always go with the Route taxi.
You can flag one down anywhere on that Main Street (named George?)
Look for "Negril Taxi" painted on the side.
Like RocknRollfarmer said.
Oh yeah, Big ups to you for donating to the School.
That is wonderful!!

Many thanks for the replies.
Can a route taxi accommodate 5 ppl.?
My neighbor here in Winnipeg has a home in Sav and would likely drive us if asked, just didn’t want to inconvenience him as he’s picking us up the next day to return to Sav and show us around.
If you get an empty one, 5 is doable.
I have seen 6 people + the Driver in a regular 4 door car.
(not sure if that is legal)
There were 4 in the back and 2 in the Co-pilot seat.
I was one of the 4 in back.
Good thing I showered that day and had on my Old Spice.
Most of the Sav to Negril drivers will be parked either at the Texaco gas station just at the end of Great George Street (by the KFC) or will be parked in the Shoppers Fair/ Brumahlia Hardware shopping mall. You will hear them call out "Negril" as they wait by their vehicles. They wait there until the cab fills up and then they move out. You could check in with some of those guys about getting all 5 to Negril, It shouldn't make any difference to the driver, take 5 now or take only 2-3 and pick up more along the way, because it's the same money. I've done this myself many times. Would I recommend this for a "family", absolutely not. One, because chances of getting a driver that is a rocket ship pilot want-a-be, are high, and two would be, the chance of getting a full serviced, road worthy, mechanically sound vehicle is very low. By forcing or allowing that on other "family" members is not correct and borderline negligent, especially if children are involved. You know what, find a good, competent, safe driver in Negril, through the hotel or even through this media and have him come pick you up in Sav. The extra few dollars you pay will be priceless for the peace of mind.
