current route taxi rate to Green Island from Negril?

If I am going to charter I usualy offer the route fare x 5.

More or less what I do too. Though sometimes 4

One time 6 passenger and the driver all the way from Spanish Town to Ochie. In not a very large car. ( Ouch)
Thank God I was a lot slimmer then


I usualy get dropped of just a little bit of the main road that the route the taxi drives
Mostly it's because I have a heavy load to carry and I am travelling with a few others.

Sometimes I even pay 2x times the route price to take up an extra seat and save time waiting for the taxi driver to get another passenger and to have a more comfortable ride.
This is especially fun to do in the front seat of a minibus if you are travelling a long distance. You can sit comfortably and have your bag/belongings on the chair beside you.
Where I stay they drive with 5 passngers. A lot of slim people in the area.

If I am taking up the taxi for my sole purpose I think it's fair to compensate the driver for that.

I preferr to offer the price rather than to barter. If they are not happy with the fare I check the next taxi.
