TAXES

TAXIS
Taxis are widely available, but always agree on a price and currency before
setting off. Most drivers serve as both private taxi drivers and roadside
collective taxis, picking up folks alongside the road on a particular
route. It’s an inexpensive way to get around the island and it’s
a great way to meet people. The downside is that apart from work hours
it is sometimes a long wait for a ride.

Passport
and Visa Requirements
US, Canadian and British citizens may enter Montserrat with proof of citizenship
such as a driver's license. Visitors from all other nations must have
valid passports and entry visas are required of citizens of Cuba and the
Eastern Bloc Countries. A return ticket is required of all visitors.
TRANSPORTATION
-- CAR RENTALS
Although
car rentals are readily available and reasonably priced at about US $210/week
you will have to obtain a Montserrat driving license. Throughout the Eastern
Caribbean, the driving license has become a valuable source of governmental
income. It has nothing to do with your driving competence; it is simply
an added annoyance -- one that is unavoidable. Usually your car rental
service will make it as painless as possible. The temporary license costs
EC $50.

Cell: (664)496-1947
Specialty: Tree surgery, pruning trees without damaging
your property and logging. If you have some of Montserrat's beautiful
hardwood trees on your property and unfortunately have to remove them
I can process the Mahogany, white cedar, red cedar and deliver the finished
lumber directly to you.
Owner's comment: I've been falling trees as well as selectively
pruning trees for over 32 years. I've been employed by the Ministry of
Agriculture of Montserrat for over 26 years doing this speciality as well.
So, if you have a tree problem small or large or damage due to a natural
disaster just call me and I will come by and give you an estimate of any
part of the job. I have all my own equipment and can do the work in your
adsence if you so desire. From A 2 Z the job will be done with care and
patience. And, don't forget I can also process the finished lumber for
you from your own trees -- no waste "lets take care of our natural
resourses here in Montserrat."
