Not that I would recommend it for a solo woman, but I've never paid any attention to plates when grabbing a taxi. I take bike taxis, station wagons, vans, pick up trucks, whoever will stop for me. I've even hitched in JA, but they all expected a donation so I consider them "hacks". I think the whole Red Plate thing gives people a false sense of security. If something were to happen to you while in one, what makes you think a Jamaican insurance company will give you a damn thing? I personally don't think it matters, but to each their own.
