Here in Jamaica, we value our guests so much we have a transport service specifically for visitors.
It's called JUTA, Jamaica Union for Travellers Association. Equipped with a fleet of well-maintained,
air-conditioned cars, buses, coaches and luxury vehicles, each piloted by experienced and friendly drivers,
JUTA is the right choice for visitors looking for a more than just a way to get from one place to another.
Choosing JUTA means that not only will you travel to your destination in comfort and style, but you'll also
enjoy extremely personal service - all in all making for a memorable Jamaican experience.
"Honest John, a JUTA driver, picked me and my wife up from Montego Bay airport," Karl Johnson recounts when
asked about his recent Jamaican vacation. "He seemed to know so much about the island, we asked him to take
us on a few tours." Nelly Johnson interjects, "It was the best decision we made. John became more than our
driver, he was our tour guide and friend." She continues, "John was honest, reliable and obliging,
hence our nickname!"
Stories similar to Karl and Nelly's are not uncommon among visitors who have chosen to travel with JUTA.
'Honest John' is just one of many contract carriage operators, licensed by the Jamaica Tourist Board. Like John,
all JUTA drivers have a reputation as being affable, dependable and knowledgeable about their island home. They will
just as readily shuttle you to and from your destination, as take you on a personalized tour of the island's attractions.
JUTA drivers are certified by the Jamaica Tourist Board, and as such have attended seminars about Jamaica's history,
culture, geography and flora and fauna. Armed with this special training, JUTA operators often double as impromptu
tour guides. On route, they'll happily entertain you with interesting historical facts, bits of local trivia, and
rural lore. Eager to share the joys of their home with visitors, JUTA drivers will also gladly stop at scenic spots,
fruit stalls and restaurants along the way to allow you to experience local delicacies, beverages and vistas first hand.
What's more, every JUTA operator comes highly recommended, guaranteeing their reliability and professionalism. In order
to be licensed by the JTB, a JUTA driver must have a contract with a reputable hotel or tourism enterprise. Furthermore,
all JUTA vehicles must adhere to the strict standards set by the Jamaican Transport Authority, and undergo regular road
fitness tests. As a result, the vehicles are always in the best condition, ensuring your safety and comfort.
JUTA members may be differentiated from non-official contract carriage operators by their Jamaica Tourist Board identification
tag, and by the red plates and JTB decal, emblazoned on their vehicle.
So if, on your vacation, you'd rather skip the exciting world of Jamaican public transportation or the adventure of driving
yourself around the island, the JUTA option is your obvious choice. With JUTA, you'll travel safely and comfortably throughout
Jamaica, while learning about and experiencing the best of our island home.
