Scams to watch for in Jamaica
- Inflated taxi fares and false safety claimsDrivers may push visitors towards expensive private rides. In Negril, some claim route taxis are unsafe to persuade tourists to pay more. In Montego Bay, some drivers are dishonest or unreliable, and strangers may offer rides in unmarked cars.
- Poor exchange rates and inflated US-dollar chargesSome businesses give a poor conversion rate when you pay in US dollars. Others may try to charge ten times the intended amount by taking advantage of currency confusion.
- Higher prices in tourist shopsShops aimed at tourists often sell the same goods at higher prices than local shops. A high price alone does not prove fraud, but visitors can pay much more without comparing.
