Although, I didn't get this info in time to go, my yoga instructor and previous Negril resident highly recommended Chunky as well. I intend to use him when I go next time as he has such a good rep.

I would recomend Ever's Taxi Service 876-425-9158. Very reasonable & SAFE!

Gerry G, Do you have an email for either of the 2 drivers you mentioned?

dont have emails for these two -- they don't go on the Net as much in Negril, it seems.

JoeVa - I add my congrats on the impending marriage.
Murph stated it pretty well. But just to expound - the route taxi system in Negril makes it so that a private taxi is rarely needed just doing things IN NEGRIL.
The few exceptions that come to mind - are a big grocery trip, or if running errands and have several stops - other than that, rarely needed.

You will need, and should pre-arrange, your Airport Transfers. Many recommended here - Clive's, Rocky, etc. just do a quick search on here for "Airport transfer".
Also, you will need private transportation if you take any of the excursions out of Negril - like to YS Falls, Appleton Rum Factory, Black River, Roaring River, etc. Again, a few searches will quickly give you a long list of safe recommendations.
Other than that - you'll pretty much be throwing your money away with a Private Driver just bar-hopping or going to restaurants or attractions just in Negril.
If we haven't convinced you yet - I'd suggest you wait until you are here, and see what we mean by the route taxis - then decide.

Do some searches on here if not familiar with route taxi - but really quick is just $100JA/person (about $1.15) anywhere along the beach to town center, another $100JA/person anywhere along Cliffs to town center. You just watch for them - hail, hop in, hop out, pay the $100JA and tip if you want.

Enjoy!

Chunky is awesome!!!! Last trip he was hanging out around Kuyaba. I can send you his phone number if needed.

It's actually C-H-U-N-K-E-Y with an E .... great cabbie. His cell is 876 354 5030 ... tell him gerryg123 sent you, and the first 1/4 mile is free (JK) .... God I miss Negril.

Gerry, I may give him a call too and tell em you provided the reference .... if that is okay with you??? We arrive 9/1 and I have yet to book a private transfer from the airport.

Can you tell me if you does excursions too, like Pelican Bar, YS Falls etc???

Thanks man!
