Don’t Try To Get Around Without A Driver

Unless you are staying at a resort where airport transportation is included, getting around Jamaica can be expensive. Taxis can cost a substantial amount, especially for travelers needing to take the 1 ½ hour drive from the international airport in Montego Bay to Ocho Rios; or a 2-hour taxi ride for people going to Negril. But if you just plan to spend most of your time at the resort, stick to a taxi. If you do plan on going around the island, renting a car would be a good idea, but driving it on your own might not be so great. Jamaica used to be a British colony, which means that they drive on the left-hand side of the road. Compound that with the twisting, narrow, pothole-filled roads and the occasional aggressive driver. It can all be stressful, challenging and a bit disorienting if you choose to rent a car and opt to drive on your own. You are on vacation, so why not avoid the stress and just opt to hire a driver to help you get around the island safely.
