Paying in Jamaica

US dollars are widely accepted in tourist areas, but change is often given in JMD and at a weaker rate. For markets, route taxis and local cookshops, carry small JMD notes. Use bank ATMs inside banks or malls, and cambios for cash exchange. See our tipping guide and tip calculator.
