Re: Private Driver
Bigzb - Nightlife in Negril is not discussed much in this forum in the short duration of my membership. Taxi fares at night depend on your destination, usually destinations, and time of the morning you return. Fares go up at night, but your route is a short one and not expensive. If that is all you do...
...however, the party in Negril does not begin until midnight. Let me qualify that, the nightlife for the locals does not heat up until then. If you plan to be home by midnite then you may be able to find a route taxi that is still going along Norman Manley Blvd, but he will be the exception. Alfred's on Friday is typically a starting point for the evening & then one proceeds from there to the next party. That part you will have to discover for yourself, but back to taxi fares. For example, I use a driver from midnight until 4-6:00a every night & pay him 1500-2000 $JMD. I use the same driver or two & tell him to watch my back. If you go to a club and are a bit uneasy, pay his admission and bring him in the club with you. Buy him a beer. No one will mess with you. The locals all know one another. The driver will wait for you at the club if you tell them to. If they do, then pay them at the end of your trip. Treat him with respect but be firm. In my experience, the majority of drivers are good people trying to make a living under difficult circumstances.
Have fun. Try a late night on the town...it is an eye opener. Leave judgement behind.
Happy trails.
