Will be staying near CGB for about 10 days and will not be renting a car. Need advice for a taxi driver to use for everything from shopping in Roadtown to many trips to West End for day trips, trips to Bananakeet and just looking around the island. Any favorites that wouldn't mind short trips and long trips that you can advise?

I second Jason, very nice guy, and if he can't taxi for you, he has brothers that will.

284-543-7466

I've got his email too, but that's not really the best way to get a hold of him...he likes texts too, but phone call is probably best....

Mitch. I'm sure someone can add his number.

Sorry to pile on to someone else's thread, I just didn't think this merited its own, since it's a long shot:

In March of '15 we used a driver from Soper's to Roadtown when I needed my ring cut off my swollen finger. We got his number from a motor yacht captain who happened to overhear us desperately trying to find a cab. It wasn't so much a cab as a car service, as he had an immaculate white Lincoln with wonderful a/c and working suspension. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" /> He was incredibly nice and though we requested a trip to the hospital, he made about 5 phone calls to see if a jewelry store could get the job done, and that's where we went, saving us hours and hundreds.

We've lost his contact information. I'm 99.999% certain his name was Omar, but a friend to whom we gave his number seems to think it was Clarence. Does anyone by any remote chance know who he is & have contact info? He was one of the nicest, most helpful people we ever met in the islands and I'm kicking myself over losing it.


If I can't be a good example, I'll just have to be a horrible warning. [Linked Image]

The car is right and he was a real
nice guy. Told all about his grand
children running him ragged.

YES!!! Never in a million years would I have remembered "Ortis"!!

He went so far out of his way to be helpful and keep me laughing & talking through the pain- even while they were cutting my titanium ring off- that I wanted to be sure we use him again or recommend him.

THANK YOU SO MUCH for answering!!! We've been racking our brains for 3 days!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Tonguea.gif" alt="" />
