Nope, not true (as per Negril friends). A red plate is a red plate and is insured to carry passengers no matter where they are from.
Now - some drivers are JUTA licensed and some are not. The private drivers I use are. I'm not sure if that carries more insurance or different insurance...I never really thought about it but that JUTA card does make a difference to many tourists.
I think the OP on TA was being "worked" by his driver unfortunately.
