Most Comfortable Montego Bay Taxi And Tours

By Jamaican standards, the relatively high rates that can be charged for airport transfers, coupled with the likelihood of a fare settled in U.S. dollars, makes it an alluring if competitive proposition. Consequently, many visitors’ first experience of a laid-back Jamaican vacation is running a gauntlet of cabbies hawking onward transport. There is, however, much order among the apparent chaos. A little preparation can make the difference between paying handsomely for a potentially dangerous transfer and relaxing in air-conditioned Montego Baytaxi and tours comfort for a short trip. Jamaica’s main international airport, Sangster International, is on the northwest coast of the island. It's a short drive to Montego Bay 3 miles away or to the other main tourism centers at Ocho Rios and Negril farther along the coast.

If you haven't arranged transportation prior to arrival, you can easily book Montego Bay taxi and tours. Do not take any ride that you cannot book through the authorized service. With a fleet that includes 56-seater coaches and 29- or 15-seater buses, they also organize private tours to popular destinations. They also operate an on-call shuttle service to the Ritz Carlton Rose Hall and the Comfort Inn in Montego Bay, as well as transfers to hotels in Montego Bay, Negril and Ocho Rios. Customers can obtain help and take advantage of a paging service. All official taxis in Jamaica must carry a red license plate, and tariffs are fixed. A list of tariffs to the most common destinations is posted in the airport, but I recommend confirming with the driver beforehand.

However good a deal an unofficial taxi might offer, there is no guarantee of insurance compliance or personal safety, so stick to MontegoBay taxi and tours service by Jamaica Action Routes only. There is no public bus service to Montego Bay from the airport. Be sure to make a reservation in advance online or via phone to avoid any issues at the airport. Look online for discounts and deals, and consider joining your preferred company's frequent customer club, which often lead to upgrades and quicker service. Be sure to have a current driver's license when renting a car. Add a GPS to the rental to help with any navigation to and from Montego Bay.
