I am pretty adventurous and have driven all over the world. However I don't drive in Jamaica. The drivers are crazy and the roads are in poor shape. (Jamaica, however, is VERY safe, despite what some people think). It costs (with fuel & insurance) about $100 a day to rent a car. You can get a comfortable vehicle with a driver for $80 a day and he will be yours for as many days as you want. The great tihng about that is the driver will act as your tour guide too. You don't have to worry about driving and he will take you to wherever your interests dictate. Drivers are licensed and very proud of their privileged position so they will not abuse it. I use 2 drivers out of Montego Bay . One is Nigel (I'm Nigel too, but no relation !), phone 876 391 6599 or Neville (nickname PAMPI) [font=Arial] [/font]876 583 6926.
Pampi is a little serious but very reliable. Nigel is also reliable, very friendly and informative.

Jamaica remains vacation destination despite its high crime rate. Visitors wishing to explore or conduct business outside of the relatively safe tourist area can contract my service to insure their safety.
I am an experienced security Consultant with extensive training in close protection and personal security. I am also involved in training security personnel on island.

For years, Negril's beach has been rated as one of the top 10 beaches in the world by many travel magazines. The north end of the beach is home to the large all-inclusive resorts, and to the south are the smaller, family-run hotels. This combination gives the Negril area a large variety of rooms, services and prices. South of downtown Negril is West End Road, known as the cliff area, which is lined with resorts that offer more privacy.
