Taxis with a red plate are official route taxis that travel on a certain route and are cheap. Taxi drivers are reliable, licensed and strongly regulated.
US cell phones do not work in Jamaica. The locals use cell phones so the visitors can buy a phone card and use the card on someone’s phone to make calls.
Money can be chashed in banks, FX trader locations and airports. The ATMs are in the big city only and few places accept US Dollars.
Tourists can access the internet from the local libraries in Long Bay and Port Antonio. The internet cafes at Port Antonio work well at a reasonable price.
Since tourism is seen as a dynamic growth prospect, the government has taken appropriate steps to ensure the safety of its visitors. Special tourist police officers can be noticed in Port Antonio as well as in the larger tourist cities such as Ocho Rios, Negril and Montego Bay.
These officers are ready to answer your concerns or any question that needs immediate attention.
