How it works
Unlicensed taxi drivers at Sangster International Airport in Montego Bay quote inflated fares for the 90-minute drive to Negril, sometimes charging three to four times the standard rate. Drivers may claim the meter is broken or that prices have increased due to fuel costs. Some taxis divert to unofficial stops where drivers earn commissions before reaching Negril.
