I am a Jamaican and travel by taxi a lot – it can be rough but it’s mostly fun especially when someone shares a good story along the way.

LOL Q! I agree! It’s not the cars that make taxis fun, it’s the drivers for real!

Lol cool. im a jamaican going school and i just simly admire how u guys like our route taxi so much. jamaican taxis are awesome. if u put a chevy nascar against their little toyotas (most of them are toyota corolla’s) u would lose by at least 4 car lenghts.

For your first time I would definitely suggest hiring a driver, but that’s not super cheap because you’re chartering a ride. So I guess you have to weigh out your options…spend a little extra money for reliability and someone who knows everything about the island….OR just be brave and try to have some fun with the route taxi system. Route taxis will always be cheaper but the down side is the drivers will know you don’t know what the route price is so you might pay more than a Jamaican would…but still less than chartering a driver.

Here’s a great tip….before you get into ANY taxi ask a random Jamaican on the street how much a route taxi would charge from point A to point B. That way you know what to pay before you get in!

TONS of Jamaicans travel by taxi so you can definitely get anywhere you want to go in one. The only places that you might not be able to go by route are out of the way tourist places.
