- Jamaica ↗Use licensed taxis (red PPV number plates) or pre-booked transfers, not unmarked cars.
- Kingston and the Blue Mountains ↗Mountain roads are narrow and steep: use a driver who knows them, and start early because cloud and rain build by afternoon.
- Kingston ↗Between clusters use a hotel-booked driver or a licensed taxi; do not walk between clusters, and do not use unmarked cars or minibuses as a visitor.
- Kingston ↗Downtown is a morning stop by taxi to the door; leave before early afternoon.
