Airport transfers - who do you use?

[RickandRichelle]

Joe Cool Taxi And Tours. Great guy and fair rates.

Flying would be awesome - does it really save any time though? Is that $75 PP? I actually enjoy the drive, gives me time to relax after the flying & airport chaos

We used to fly Timair every year when staying at couples, but since we discovered how much more we like the cliffs, not going that route anymore. I think the time savings is nominal if you are staying on the west end, as you have to transfer to the shuttle area (faster now than it used to be as it's all in the airport... Used to take a van to get to the Tim air area.), and then once you get to the negril airport, there is another taxi ride. Plus, if memory serves, last year it was ~$225/person round trip. It is a fun way to get there however, as you get the birds eye view of the coastline. New now just get the taxi, as the time savings are really not all that great. Tim air service was absolutely fantastic, but after nearly 15 years of going to Jamaica, those planes are starting to worry me... I am a big guy, and they usually had me sit up front next to the pilot in the jumpers, and I told my wife last time that was it .

Hussyband..I've been using Tim Air for years too (started in late '80's when it was $50 a person each way) but they have raised their prices way too much. Yes their planes have gotten to level that is questionable...I'm was waiting to see some duck tape in places. That said....I found that Intl Air Link flies that same route too...at $75.00 (solo with resevervations) so I used them for my return this past March. Bigger & very air worthy planes too! I be making my arrangements for Feb. '13 by Jan 1st. www.intlairlink.net reservations...(876)940-6660

I have never used them, but at that price I may give it a go. The last time I was in a Timair puddle jumper, it was just too much for me to handle... I am the guy who wants to skydive, and I have no problem with heights, but that plane scared me.

What's the total price, tax & fees in, per person?

We flew from Mobay to Negril many years ago on Timm Air, I think it was called. Anyhow, we copped a great deal that day. I guess they didn't have too many passengers, so, as is in Jamaica.....they offered us a deal. We took it and I will never regret it. The view itself is superb. Plus, getting there so quickly is a perk. However, I also enjoy the drive and stopping to eat along the way. It does give you a chance to kick back and get into vacation mode. LOL Haven't flown to Negril since...but, I'm glad we had the chance to do it once.

I do recall the crazy time after we reach Negril. Then, one has to figure out how to get to the resort. OF course, there are plenty of drivers there...but they wanted to charge mucho bucks for a small trip. We ended up taking our luggage to the road, which is not really that far....and grabbed a red plate taxi. Needless to say, we were happy but the guys standing around the air-strip..not so much...

We just got back from 2 weeks in Negril and used Rocky's Taxi and Tours http://www.rockystaxiandtourservice.com/ not only for our Airport transfers but a great day trip to YS Falls & Pelican Bar as well as some rides to the cliffs & town. He drove us a few times, but also Presley and Wayne his other drivers helped out. We can't say enough about their professionalism, his promptness and all three of them having a great personality! We WILL use them again and recommend them to any and all friends.

Clives has always been great i use them to get to Runaway Bay, to Ocho Rios, To Negril and airport always very reasonable and never left me hanging. Taxi's for everything else or tour buses out to destinations.

I used Kenny (Jamaica@gmail) in February. He did not have any drinks for us on arrival as promised via email (not the biggest concern, but would have been nice after 12 hours to get there) and he then asked for the full amount (the return to the airport fee as well) up front. That was not in our arrangement via email and I wouldn't do it again...I was uncomfortable with that.
