Fastest way out of the airport.

Looks like the JUTA rates are $25 per person to the beach and $30 per person to the west end. Private taxis booked through the people that advertise on this message board generally run round $70 for 2 people. JUTA will take at least 20 minutes before you're on your way and you may have to stop at everyone elses hotel before you get to yours. Did JUTA the first time down and didn't even get to sit next to the wife. We also had to negotiate at the door one time as our driver failed to show due to a family emergency. Got a fair of $50 but that was at least 5 - 7 years ago. Now we always book with drivers recommended on the board and they're always waiting there for us and we're on our way quickly (with a few cold Red Stripes).

No need to pay $70 for two or even to wait for your ride. Kingsley James from Take Care Tours, a Negril.com sponsor, is $50 each way. My longest wait for him was 5 minutes, and only because there was no wait in customs or immigration. My only wait in fact was for my bags. He is always on time and will bring cold beers if you make the request.

Don't get me wrong because I respect what CaptainD is saying and have no doubt his son is awesome but I also used Kinglsey and loved the guy. I guess my point is there are many excellent taxi drivers worthy of your patronage. I will continue to use Kinglsey James because he has earned my trust and admiration. If not for that experience, I would certainly give Linston a try and would encourage others not to be afraid to do the same.

Alfred Barrett was an absolute rock star. Jah bless his soul!!!

Hey Booger - is $50 for a private ride, or is there a chance that you will have to share the van with other passengers? The driver that we always used raised his rates on our last trip (from $60 to $70) and I'm thinking about giving Kingsley a try. I heard a lot of drivers have raised their rates, due to the price of gas increasing.

I am paying 70 for my guy. No issue though. Really enjoy his company and he stops everywhere we want on the way, and has lots of cold beer for us in the car.

Hey Mike, it is indeed a private ride.
