Hints and information on how to efficiently navigate Kingston, Jamaica and is environs.
Note: The information is subject to change.
Kingston and the Corporate area is served by the Norman Manley International Airport (KIN) and the Tinson Pen Aerodrome (KTP). Here is some information on
how to get to to the city and its environs from the airports:
- Norman Manley International (KIN)
- Unless you know where you are going, it is recommended that you take a JUTA taxi. Once you arrive and clear customs, there is a Taxi Dispatcher on your left. They wear an orange vest that says "Taxi Dispatcher." They will quote you the current fare for your destination.
- Do not take rides from drivers who approach you and quote you fares
- There is no airline employee discount on the minibuses or the JUTA taxis
- If you made arrangements with your hotel for pickup (recommended), then follow the signs to the hotel shuttle.
- Of course you can always rent a car. The car rental place is located just to the left once you clear customs. It is recommended that you handle car rental service before hand. Some companies will take you into the city to pick up your car. Note that you will have to place a substantial deposit in cash or on your credit card before being able to rent the vehicle. It is recommended that you take the insurance and colission damage waivers that are offered.

- Do not take rides from drivers who approach you and quote you fares
- There is no airline employee discount on the minibuses or the JUTA taxis.
- If you made arrangements with your hotel for pickup (recommended), then follow the signs to the exit and await the hotel shuttle.
