Lucea

The closest major airport to Lucea is the Sangster International Airport. This airport is located in Montego Bay around 47 km (30 miles) away from the centre of Lucea. Getting to and from the airport is usually either offered by the resort and/or tour operator, pre-arranged with a local transfer company, or sorted out upon arrival. There are multiple stands offering transfer services inside the airport building–inquire about the prices for shared vans to particular destinations. www.mbjairport.com/transfer/tour-operators Car rental companies, such as Avis and Hertz are located in the Ground Transportation and Arrivals Hall: www.mbjairport.com/car-rentals Taxi stands can be found directly outside the airport. There are two taxi companies operating at Sangster International Airport, JUTA and JCAL: www.mbjairport.com/taxi-cabs

The most cost-efficient (yet least comfortable) way of getting around the island is using the public buses and minibuses ("coasters", with the initials PPV or JUTA (for tourists only) clearly on display). These normally do not run on set time schedules and depart when full. Transportation generally passes through a town's/village's main market/station area, and most vehicles can be flagged down from the side of the road. Make sure to yell out a request for a stop when you wish to get off. Route taxis (often white Toyota Corolla cars, with "route taxi" indicated on the door) are another way of getting around. They operate on a basis similar to minibuses but are smaller, faster and more comfortable. These start from a town's terminal and pick up passengers along the way, unless you clearly specify you wish to hire one for personal use - price will go up accordingly. Alternatively, consider hiring a driver/transport service from a resort or hotel and let them do the driving; rates are comparable to a rental car company with insurance.

There are two types of taxi service in Jamaica: charter taxis and route taxis. Charter taxis are privately hired taxis that take you directly to your destination. Route taxis will stop and pick up/drop off anyone along their route. Route taxis will have a sign on the side of the taxi listing their route. If you need to go to a location past the end of their route, you will need to transfer to a different taxi that goes to that location. All officially registered taxis in Jamaica are marked with the PPV sign or are members of the Jamaican Union of Travellers Association (JUTA) - an indication of this will be normally displayed on each individual car.
