Maybe someone could link to the Rob post that set out the taxi information.

bj - the taxis outside the front door of HiLo are not "route" taxis they are charter and the price varies and is agreed upon by driver and passenger. You can go out the front of HiLo plaza to the street and hail a taxi (make sure the route is listed on the side of the vehicle as these are insured licensed rides w/red plates) There is a taxi park next to Scotia where you can change to a West End cliffs route taxi (you may have to wait a few minutes for more people to join the ride before taking off). Cliffs to town $100J out to Out of Town pastry approx. - Town to beach $100J per person out to the big hotels apprx....(out to Half Moon Beach is 50-80J more). Rob and others can explain better the licensed charter scenario - I don't ever use them besides day tours - I am just a bit nervous on liability and usually have to budget because I stay longer and often use taxis daily. For a group, etc. maybe a charter ride makes more sense but....coming from cliffs many taxis will be going thru town to the BUS park by the police station but will drop you by Burger King and you can catch a beach taxi by hailing one there. I ask my driver if he is going to the park or can he take me on to the beach.

Melody I never heard of China mon store in the Burger King parking lot exchanging traveller's cheques & cash at a good rate but many here on the board know WAY more than me. There is a Cambio next to Scotia Bank with many services. Have always just called it the China Man store (lol).

Rock had a good suggestion - most hotels have a driver recommended by the property and you can make friends and agree on a fare price for your needs. Usually the answer is NO PROBLEM......

Getting around is easy peezy just make sure you are in licensed insured vehicles. [I hope I said all that right - don't want to give mis-information]
