NOTE: 200 USD mentioned in the video is for the full day trip from Montego Bay to Ocho Rios and back, with waiting time at the tourist locations It's also a price for a private group, (1-4 guests per group) The problem with shorts is that there is under 60 seconds, so the context is missing The point of this video is to show that it's NOT a ripoff and why brWatch the full video where this episode is taken from here guide here: youtube/_Cs_KIZ734E Comment from : JAMAICA WITH IRIE |

Oh I had to listen about five times now I understand you’re saying “I saw a post on TripAdvisor…” Sorry Comment from : Amir L |

I’m sorry, are you saying “I suppose on TripAdvisor by tourists…”? I can’t understand a word you’re trying to say sorry Comment from : Amir L |

What also not to forget is that the best priorities are given to the hotel taxis servicesbr The local guys are ignored and left dry br Talk to the local taxi guys You'll feel their pain Plus, their outgoing financial payments are higher than incoming feesbrbr I'm talking about the legitimate registered drivers Comment from : Earl Williams |

 |
200usd is roughly 30, 000 JMD For a whole day driving you around Gas alone is gonna be 10,000 Plus time and other charges That's not all that bad Comment from : Just Me |
 |
You are too much Comment from : Barbara Brown |
 |
It's more than worth it It's a private charter which means they stop at several spots This Is Jamaica, cost of living is high$200 is a drop in the bucket When I'm in the US and charter a taxi, the charge is more for a shorter distance Comment from : Linnette Vassell-Robinson |
 |
I live there as my my second home in drax hall estate brI pay $80to $90 to be picked up at the airport 1 5 hr drive to drax hall 5 to 6 miles before Ocho Rios so 160 to 180 if i did a round trip so 200$ usd for a day is reasonable ! br57 miles each way try that with UBER in the usa Comment from : Anthony Wilson |

I took a private Taxi from Mo-bay to Kingston to a funeral and it wasn't a full day and it cost me $100 US dollars for both ways and that was about 20 plus years ago, much less now brThat tourist is saying that but remember chartering a vehicle in Jamaica it can cost you a lot because the person is go around using a lot of gas Comment from : s_@renohome |
 |
It’s expensive for everyone now a days …brbrNot just Jamaicans ‼️🇨🇦🇯🇲 Comment from : Andy Bowman |
 |
Definitely a scam but it sounds like the whole setup is a scam and drivers are being equally screwed Comment from : STALKER |
 |
Jamaica is very expensive when you're Canadian and have to pay in US dollars It gets crazy expensive Comment from : sharonsart |
 |
The only way to fairly assess this would be the comparision cost of other types vehicles of transport in Jamaica (same distance) Comment from : N Smith |
 |
If you are staying in Jamaica for at least 5 days - rent a car That's what we did and we were all over the island, From Montego to Ocho Rios, to Negril, Savlamar, Mandeville, Kingston and more Have GPS working and watch for those potholes, go explore Jamaica is beautiful, sitting in all inclusive resorts might be good for someone, but it will not give you the full experience of the island Comment from : Aleksėjus Garnys |
 |
What a ripoff Comment from : Maria Rod |
 |
Has a taxi driver 200USD is almost 30grn,10gan for partner,10gran service,and 10gran fr the boss and you still cyah buy lunch or carry home food fe the house,the things people choose to complain about tsk! Comment from : King Insomnia |
 |
I've never used JUTA, but l have used local private taxi for journeys, where they unfortunately, do charge you according to your ACCENT! And sometimes they charge you just based on how you're DRESSED! They are professionals at spotting tourists So be prepared to barter Comment from : Lloyd M |
 |
Campus in Jamaica was not even safe so I imagine it may be worse Comment from : Angel Lee |
 |
200 USD for up to 15 people is a GREAT DEAL!!!! I donno why people are expecting cheap prices in an amazing Island like Jamaica Comment from : Randoms |
 |
Been paying around that price for most day trips since 1999 Mobay to Negril, Negril to appleton, Pelican bar, border jerk, Ochi, etc Shout of to my driver Kingsley James out of Xtabi Negril Comment from : Johnathan Steil |
 |
First of all, the gas for the day costs US$100, so little or no profit Comment from : Samantha Barrett-Palmer |
 |
Give thanks Sista Irie Yuh set it str8🙏🏾❤️ Comment from : Yardman Rootikal |
 |
Irie it’s expensive every where ! Get a Lyft taxi from NY to New Jersey is $190 to $230 and it’s a shorter trip , than from Montego Bay to Ochie but I would never pay that , I would rather rent a car for $50 for the day so maybe the tourist can look into renting cars to go on excursions , especially if their in a group ! Comment from : Chocolate Queen |
 |
"200 US DALLORS, FOR A TRIP FROM ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER IS SO CRIMINALITY: THAT'S A FLIGHT IN MANY COUNTRIES TO ANOTHER; JUST TO DRIVE A FREAKING JUTA BUS TO ANOTHER CITY THAT'S SO NEAR YOOU PPL THINK YOU CAN CHARGE SO MUCH FROM WHITE PPL::MNO WONDER THE COUNTRY MASHING DOWN;;EVERYBODY HAS BEEN TAKING DISAVANTAGE OF AND NOONE DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT::SHAMEFUL:: U PPL RUNNING AWAY PPL FROM EVEN VISITIING THERE: WHAT U PPL GONNA DO WHEN TOURIST CHOOSE OTHER REASONABLE COUNTRIES AND ISLAND?????????????? Comment from : Mark Spencer |
 |
We paid the same 200USD in Cuba for a day trip from Varadero to Havana for seven people It's pretty much the price in other Countries not only Jamaica so it's not a rip off Comment from : Dorrett Harry |
 |
Just be sure to use a licensed driver, as there are similar vans that do not have the decals and are not licensed to take passengers,… we learned the hard way, hiring a driver on our own and after two days we figured out he was scamming us… we started adding up the money he needed us to pay in advance plus how much he wanted afterwards and compared with what other tourists told us that they paid for similar trips only to find out we had been scammed (He did not have the decal) Comment from : Danielle Bruneau |
 |
Two hundred dollars for a day trip the ride is about an hour or less and they are there all day waiting for them driving anywhere in Ohio Rios that they want That is reasonable for the day They could have been working on that time making even more money Comment from : Sherriam Rogers |
 |
There is no third world thank youplease Comment from : Shirley Grimes |
 |
Please tell me what country doesn't have areas that rip off tourists I just traveled to a European country this summer and one of its islands, which gets tons of tourists, had crazy, high prices in comparison to the other islands, which has fewer tourists That's tourism for you! Comment from : KH |
 |
Yes I believe some of the taxi drivers over charging the tourist Comment from : Here to learn |
 |
All depends on the driver and who you are I tend to blend in a bit and I’m direct so I pay what I’m willing to pay or better yet…I drive my self 😂 I’ve long grown tired of paying for Jamaican taxis Beware though… Jamaican roads sure ain’t American roads 😆 get the tire protection Comment from : Bob Mcfrugle |
 |
That has been happening for years Comment from : Chef Dwight |
 |
200 dollars to me sounds reasonable for a trip that long If I was traveling that far in the US it would be double or triple that amount Comment from : Omars Music |
 |
Very good information Thank you for sharing and dispelling the "noise" that can be the internet sometimes Comment from : JustFluffyQuilting and YarnCrafts |
 |
Driva a chat the truth Comment from : Philmore Thompson |
 |
Tourist gets ripped off with almost anything in Jamaica, especially if your shopping locally Comment from : Watching M |
 |
It’s hard to believe that the cost of that little Hiace bus is JMD 9 million Comment from : G B |
 |
US$20 per person inside the bus would be a better deal for the driver Comment from : Anthony Nattoo |
 |
As a Jamaican I think the problem can be on both sides I've traveled to numerous countries and saw this issue brbrMany tourists travel to 3rd wrld countries with the expectation to rip off local businesses because they expect high quality for cheap Something they don't expect in their home countries They will gladly pay high and brag brbrThe other side is, some local businesses show disregard for tourists financial position and act as if tourists are walking banks brbrAs long as tourists manage their attitudes and expectations it can work and as long as local businesses manage their business and price appropriately it will work But of course some people can never be pleased on both sides Comment from : SUPATWIN1 |
 |
Here Comment from : Pepper Morrison |
 |
It always interest me how people like to style other people's money Keep calm and dont worry about what is expensive Do you Comment from : Blooming Rose |
 |
A 30 minutes drive from where I live to Gatwick airport is £70 So that's not expensive Comment from : Clever B |
 |
$200 for a full day? Is that per person Lets say a family of 4, is it still $200 for a full day? Comment from : Four Stars |
 |
It is way too high Comment from : raphael walker |
 |
Actually despite the maintenance costs compared to what it really cost $150-$200 is REALLY high ! brReal cost in gas mobay to ochi is around $30load up that hiace with 5 ppl and yeah, those guys doing REALLY REALLY well Comment from : StarrTile |
 |
Yes they riping of the tourist bad , don’t worry shop soon close People pay the same for their ride share cars in America and it is no way expensive like that Tricters Comment from : zen20128 |
 |
Dam sixty thousand for that rip off Comment from : yardman 2debone |
 |
I was charged 100 USD for private transfer to be picked up at Montego Bay Airport and taken to Negril Trip is 15 hrs one way, and I feel 100 is appropriate compensation for 3 hrs of driving for the driver Much, much cheaper than an Uber in the states Comment from : Bob Balkovec |
 |
Thank you for breaking it down😊 Comment from : Nicole Scott |
