Thanks for all the contributors on this board. Lots of good info here.
Just a few questions before flying into Jamaica for a little vacation. I'll also mention I've spent some time in Ghana so I'm experienced in that culture which is somehow similar, it seems.
So when flying into Kingston, is it good to have a ride lined up before-hand to get to our Airbnb in Oracabessa? Or are taxis at the airport just waiting for a trip like that? Also, what taxi rate is normal? Is haggling common?
When wanting to take a road trip ourselves, I'm thinking car rental. Again, I have experience driving in other countries. I prefer local rentals instead of big name brand. Would a city like Oco Rios have car rentals? Or even in Oracabessa? Any recommendations on a good company?
I come from Canada. Canadian currency will probably need changed. Are banks best spot for that? I'm thinking the airport would probably have changers too.
Thanks a million and we hope to make it safely there in about a week.
