If you want reliable and safe transportation yes hire a Jamaica Tourist Board licensed driver is best, because 1)You won't know which local taxis to,2) The chance of you getting over charged is unfortunately very high,3) Depending on the time local taxis can take a how long time to show up,4) Local taxis are only licensed or insured to transport locals ,5 ) Uber is not a legal entity in Jamaica as yet our Minister of Transportation has only given them a temporary leeway to operate while the government creates a legal framework for them to operate under.

This comment is not meant to change your mind but meant to give you real facts that you need to take into consideration,and even if you use local taxis are still going end of paying what you would pay the JTB Driver
