When you arrive at Sangster International Airport you will proceed through immigration and then customs. Once you clear customs and leave the area through the double doors you should proceed outside via the doors to your right. Once you are outside, look to the right and you will see a bar called the Groovy Grouper. Your driver will be looking for you near (or at the bar) if you decide to stop and enjoy a cold Red Stripe beer.

Yes, yes and yes. Jamaica is a beautiful country and you will enjoy the culture, food, and people.  We are here to help you customize your experience but if you want to go it alone, keep the following in mind…Look for Taxis licensed by JUTA, MAXI or JCal. You will see the sticker/logo and license number on the back of the vehicle. All three organizations have rigid yearly requirements that require the drivers to re-certify for a license, including back ground checks! Be smart – visiting a strange part of town at night is never a good idea no matter where you are.

The official currency is the Jamaican dollar (JMD). USD is accepted in most places in Jamaica. However, if you plan on doing business with the locals, you will get a better deal if you convert your currency to JMD first. You will get the best rate at a Cambio in town or on your way to your resort or Airbnb accommodations rather than exchanging at the airport. If you want to exchange your currency to JMD, let your driver know and he will be glad to stop at a Cambio. To see the conversion rate visit https://www.xe.com/currencyconverter/
