Clive's, Take Care Tours, Rocky's, or Joe Cool?

I'm an overthinker, so I can't decide which airport transfer service to book! We're staying at Villas Sur Mer for our honeymoon from December 30 (Sunday) to January 6 (Sunday).

We basically just want a comfortable, clean private ride, a cold drink waiting for us in the car, willingness to stop at a bank/grocery store for supplies on the way to the hotel, and someone who will take us to the hotel itself (doesn't drop us off in a "central area"). We'd also prefer someone who doesn't try to sell us on their other services - we REALLY just want to chill. And we'd need a return trip to the airport a week later.

Take Care Tours seems significantly cheaper than the rest ($100 RT for 2 people!) but I'm not sure if they make a grocery store/bank stop on the way to the hotel. And I'm confused about the cell phone situation - I hear some drivers offer to let you rent phones from them, but I'm not sure which ones and how much that would cost? Any feedback would be great, I'm a little overwhelmed. Thank you!

I am a big fan of Kingsley at Take Care Tours. My wife and I will be using his services in February. Send him an e-mail and let him know what your thinking and I'm sure he can accomadate you. In fact I just facebook messaged him yesterday about the cell phone rental and I'm all hooked up! Very reasonable rate for the phone I might add too. Kingsley is fantastic host and friend. Tell him Tim and Anne sent ya

What time are your flights (you can pm me if you want) but those are our exact travel days as well and we have Chicken booked (as always)
He charges $60 for 1-4 people each way.
He always has a cooler stocked with rum punch and red stripe. He has stopped as many times as I have asked him to

I think we get in around 2pm on Dec. 30....I will have to look up our exact times, but if you or anyone on here want to share a ride with us on the Magic Bus just let me know

I really like Joe Cool. He understands the tourists needs. He is will to do anything that needs to be done to make you. He picked us up last year and we somehow lost a bag. He was willing to drive back to MoBay to try and find it. As it turned out it was hiding under a seat - but you know what he would be willing to do. We got him to take us around town when we needed a ride. He is very clever... "What do we owe you Joe?" he would reply "Whatever you think is fair" How do you argue with that? I always over paid him... and was happy to do so. For me, service goes a LONG way. We have already booked him for our reach this year.

I havent used Rocky yet.. But I have him booked and we Correspond via email every few weeks to keep in touch. Mainly because he told me to keep in touch... haha. seems like a good dude.

Kingsley is a fine choice. We made three stops on the way to Negril, no worries!

Clives will do that and it's $70 for a Private transfer for 2 people. They will stop for you and have water, juice and RedStripe.

Joe Cool all the way... Great to see a guy in his mid 30's having the success...Great rates, drivers, knowledge and professionalism...

We look forward to riding with Joe Cool's team for the next 20 years, especially Latoya!!!

We use Joe Cool as well.

He is a really great guy, he makes any stops as requested - no problem.
I understand that he will take you to the local schools (for free) to hand out your supplies so you can see the children's smiling faces in person.
Here is his email if you wish to contact him. We already have him booked for our December trip.

All of the drivers mentioned, plus many more good ones, will take great care of you. I can say, that we have used Kingsley for years and have been very satisfied. His prices are great, his van..very nice..plus, we have never had a problem regarding stops. Generally, we stop to eat on the way to Negril. If we have ever wanted to stop for anything else, there has never been a problem. We always stop for some items at the store as soon as we hit Negril. We do tip extra for his time and graciousness. He also has phones for rental...so you should be good to go.
Enjoy your trip!
