A mobile phone (adequately topped up if 'Pay as You Go') is a vital piece of kit for the independent traveller in Jamaica. Signals in even the remotest of places ease co-ordinating taxi journey plans.

JUTA Taxi's are quite safe and a very reliable mode of travelling, they might seem a bit on the expensive side and journeys on the poor road infrastructure are slow, but at least you are contributing directly to the local economy.

For a blast of authentic Jamaican chaos, catch a minibus taxi and ride for a few miles. There are no stops – you just flag one down, cram yourself in, and hold on tight.

Lots of people will tell you it’s too dangerous or difficult to drive around Jamaica, but take no notice. Watch out for the pot holes and goats, and keep one hand on the horn at all times, and you’ll be fine. Road signs are almost non-existent, but there’s always someone around who’ll point you the right way. Island Car Rentals are far and away the best company to deal with.
