Taxi ride from MBJ to Ocho rios?
Hey, just booked a trip from MBJ (Montego Bay Jamaica), but the hotel is in Ocho Rios. How much is the taxi ride over? i heard that it might take 2 hours!@$!@#? Would it be cheaper for me to rent a car? (around $120 two days)
thanks!
thanks!

If you are in for some adventure plus the ability to stop ( after dodging some animals on the road
) and admire the scenery go for the rental car.Alternately ask your hotel if they have a bus picking up other guests at MBJ and see if you can get on it.

I have no personal experience with a taxi in Jamaica, but I would be reluctant to use one off the street. We have used the transfer service from Island Car Rentals about 4 times, and get you get a clean, private car and driver. They are in the MBJ airport, and you can reserve via their website. Not sure about cost. I know it is $55USD from MBJ to Grand Lido Braco, which is more than 1/2 the way to Ocho Rios.
Look into a flight as well, as I believe that Tim Air or one of the other small operators will fly from MBJ to Ocho Rios in a C-182 or similar. It's been a few years, and all of my flights were MBJ-Negril--but it is a thought to consider.
