Well, Irie John, you have done these things "many times" and (I believe) this is their first time so I wouldn't suggest they try saving a few bucks and take a chance of possibly ruining their vacation. I think you probably already know about the "Route Taxi" threads and how a novice visitor can have a problem there as well. Honestly, I don't do any of these things personally that I recommend as I live in Jamaica but I want to see a visitor have the best time possible.Originally Posted by Irie John
I have grabbed ataxi at the airport many times and negotiated the price i wanted. There are often Negril Taxi drivers at the airport wanting to pick up a fare after dropping off someone.
You can also walk just off the airport property and get a cheaper ride in a route taxi.
Just the way I look at things.
I would suggest you read the thread about the Route Taxis before you just "grab a cab from the street". Think about using your airport driver or one suggested by your hotel before trying to immerse yourself in the Route Taxi business.Thanks for the good advice. We are going to set up transport ahead of time. We are definitely wing it, negotiate type of people but to have this part squared away ahead of time will be nice.
Question, if we go with someone that offers a free phone - are we going to be paying a higher rate for them to cab us around than we would just grabbing a cab from the street?
Again, just my opinion.
Peace and Guidance
