Just a caution: the $1.50US fare to the beach is a route taxi fare. Route taxi is local shared transportation that runs on a route. Drivers stop to pick up and drop off passengers along the route in an effort to operate at full capacity. In Negril there is the Beach to roundabout route for $100J and you can catch roundabout to west end for another $100J.

Before I get in the red plate taxi, I'll say something like "$100J to Roots?" just to make it clear that I'm not looking for a charter (private ride). Route taxis are required to display their route, usually painted on the side doors.

(I think the other poster meant to say she offers 2 or 3 Hundred Jamaican, not sure anyone would do anything for 2 or 3 Jamaican dollars...)
