Direct service also operates from Fort Lauderdale, Atlanta, Charlotte, Philadelphia, Dallas, Houston, and Los Angeles. Jamaica uses the Jamaican dollar (JMD), trading at roughly 157 JMD per $1. US dollars are accepted at hotels, resorts, and tourist businesses. ATMs dispense JMD and are common in towns. Card payments work at most tourist-facing businesses. Route taxis and minibuses run between towns for JMD 200 to JMD 500 ($1.30 to $3.20). JUTA and JCAL licensed taxis operate from airports at fixed rates posted on signs.
