Rather than bury this in an old thread, I decided to make a new post. Not a bait & switch, but an explanation from Joe Cool regarding the $50 price increase. Makes sense, but should have been provided when I tried to book.
"We charge $15 per person for a regular transfer but we have to get 3 or more people, if we get 2 more people before your arrival date then we will confirm your pick up. We couldnt take one person since we would lose that way."
I was going to book with him as I saw he has the lowest price, but now since I go solo, I will find someone else. I agree, he needs to put that on his website. I don't think he would be losing as he would still make money from one person.
Reality check. I'm not sure what colour the sky is in your world.Originally Posted by NegrilIrene
The fuel alone would exceed $15.
even at $25 and $30 a head dem loosing money der.......trust mi......
the minimum dem can run to Negril with overhead is probably around $50-$60 one way....
so JUTA with dem ultra low rates is a bargain if you are willing to put up with their other transfers......

It's absurd to expect solo transport for $15 or even twice that amount. I know Jamaicans get tired of tourists who expect everything for nothing.
I may lose my temper here but WTF…….
My own son will come get Miss G and and I will put 100 each way in his hand…..not because he's my son but because I know what it takes for he and his red plate to come to Sangster………
You want to go to Jamaica and pay a whole lot less than you pay at home????
What you want is a time machine……..Back to the 70s……..
To all the boardies and Rob and Lisa I apologize for the rant…..

I was a passenger of Joe Cool's just last week - he was awesome. He did pretty well with our group. We did something every day.
