Scooter Rental Help & Suggestions (3rd Atempt to Contact Banmark)

[CC(US)]

Hi there, we are coming to Negril again in November and I am having no luck getting an email response back from Banmark. I've made 3 attempts in the last month to contact Banmark by email. We have used Banmark many times in the past.
I would prefer to handle the reservation by email rather than making an international call if I can avoid it.


Can anyone tell me if Banmark is still open?


I hate to take my busines elsewhere, but if any of you out there know of another good rental place please let me know. I contacted Seastar but they no longer rent scooters.

Thanks All,

CC

believe it or not some places and businesses in Jamaica still use the phone versus email to conduct most of their business........
so pickup your phone and call them.....pretty simple......they were open when I was there recently
the Cambio has the best rates on the West End too..........

You know I was just asking a question Marko, you didn't have to be rude. I realize not everyone has email in Jamaica, but I have done business via email with Banmark for years and he always responded. We have not been able to take a vacation in several years so I wasn't sure if Banmark was still in business.

Give a girl a break please.

Oh boy....the prob of not knowing the personality behind the written/forum word sometimes...
CC...I didn't read Marko as being rude...read it as trying to be helpful....but I've also met Marko a few times.

I'll try to get hold of Rob...he's in the area...have him check what's up with Banmark not answering.

Banmark is a good guy...I too rec. calling them directly.... also, Marko is a good guy too !!

If all else fails, i don't think you even need a reservation. Just stop in, if not at Banmark there is Tykes, Elvis and Prento, all of whom have been around a long time ....

CC,

Marko aka Hypolite meant no disrespect. Unfortunately he is from my hometown of Boston and sarcasm is a familiar speech pattern.

Good luck,

You'll likely be able to negotiate a better price by just showing up. November isn't very busy so you'll have no trouble being able to rent one.

Sorry Marko, if I read you wrong.

Bnewbie...thank you for asking Rob to check into the email. Normally, the owner is quick to respond and its nice to have a reservation when at all possible. I figured coming during or near the holiday season it would be busy and we would be better off to have a reservation. But maybe I am wrong. This is first time we have come to Negril in the fall/start of winter.

Banmark is surprised that they didnt receive the emails. He and I are working to resolve the issue. When we do - I will let you (CC) know to resend your email.

Please stand by.... (grin)
