Jamaica transportation

Once you land at the airport and you are done with the custom checks and baggage claiming, you need to look for a mode of transportation. You can choose a means of transport in accordance with your requirements. 

The modes of transportation include buses, trains, taxis and car rental. While some would argue that public transport like buses and trains are ideal, it is often not the case as you may have to wait in long queues to board the bus or train which are almost always crowded. If you rely on these modes of transportation, you may not get to explore as much of Jamaica as you expected because of delays. There are also other places you need to visit that cannot be accessed by bus which is why you need a private car. This is the part car hire comes in handy.

Taxis on the other hand, are more convenient as compared with buses, but they may to be quite expensive. This can also interfere with your schedule where you make a call and wait until they reach your location to take you to your preferred destination.

For the above reasons, the most recommended means of transportation when touring Jamaica is car rental.
