Airport Transfers
Private airport transportation from Norman Manley International Airport (KIN) to hotels and homes in New Kingston, Downtown Kingston, Port Royal and across Jamaica's south coast.
Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Norman Manley International Airport to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.
After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.
Airport transportation in Kingston takes you from Norman Manley International Airport to hotels, homes and offices in New Kingston and Half Way Tree, Downtown Kingston and the waterfront, historic Port Royal, and on to the Blue Mountains and Spanish Town.
Our Kingston airport transfers start in the Arrivals ground transportation hall, where your driver meets you after customs. Every flight uses the same terminal, and we track your flight so the pickup follows your real landing time. Unlike a taxi desk, there is nothing to arrange after a long flight: your vehicle is booked before you land.
Enter your hotel or address in the booking form to see the vehicles available for your route, from sedans to vans for families and groups, priced per vehicle before you pay. Each Kingston airport transfer goes door to door, whether you are staying at a hotel in New Kingston, a guesthouse in Port Royal or a home in the hills above the city.
Our Kingston airport shuttle is a private van for your party only: it leaves as soon as you are through the Arrivals hall and goes straight to your address, with no stops for other passengers along the Palisadoes. There is room for suitcases and strollers, so it suits families, business teams and groups arriving together.
From private sedans to group vans. One fixed price per vehicle, whatever your party size.

Norman Manley International Airport (KIN) is the airport of Kingston, Jamaica's capital, on the Palisadoes strip across the harbor from the city, and a hub of Caribbean Airlines. All passengers use one terminal: departures leave from a pier with nine loading bridges, and arrivals have their own baggage hall.
After you leave the aircraft, follow the Arrivals signs to the immigration hall, where customer service desks can help with your C5 form. Collect your bags in the baggage hall, where trolleys are free and porters wait at the exit, then pass through customs into the Arrivals ground transportation hall.
Jamaica stays on Eastern Standard Time (UTC-5) all year and does not observe daylight saving time.
C5 form online. Fill in Jamaica's Immigration and Customs Declaration (C5) form online at enterjamaica.gov.jm before you fly. It is free, and you can still complete it on arrival.
Passport and return ticket. Visitors need a valid passport and should carry a return or onward ticket. Check the entry rules for your nationality before you travel.
Customs allowances. Declare goods above your duty-free allowance; Jamaica Customs (jacustoms.gov.jm) lists the current limits.

Your driver meets you in the Arrivals ground transportation hall, which you reach after immigration, baggage claim and customs. Every flight uses the same terminal, so all travelers come out into the same hall, where the car rental, taxi and tour desks are. Check the company name with your driver before you get in, then walk together to the vehicle outside.
Norman Manley International Airport is about 19 km from central Kingston, across the harbor on the Palisadoes strip. The drive to Downtown Kingston usually takes about 20 minutes and to New Kingston, where many hotels and offices are, about 30 minutes. Allow extra time at weekday rush hours, when traffic into the city is heavier.
No. Norman Manley International Airport (KIN) serves Kingston on Jamaica's south coast, while Sangster International Airport (MBJ) serves Montego Bay and the north and west coast resorts, on the other side of the island. If you land at MBJ, book your ride on our Montego Bay Airport Transportation page instead.
Yes. We drive you door to door to hotels, apartments and offices in New Kingston, Half Way Tree and uptown along Hope Road. Give us the full address or hotel name when you book, so your driver goes straight to the right entrance after picking you up in the Arrivals hall.
Yes. Port Royal is at the tip of the Palisadoes strip, beyond the airport, and Downtown Kingston and the waterfront are across the harbor. Enter your hotel or address in the booking form and choose a vehicle sized for your party and luggage; your driver goes there directly, with no stops for other passengers.
Ocho Rios on the north coast and lodges in the Blue Mountains are longer trips from Kingston, and mountain roads can be narrow. Share the address when you book and we'll confirm: when a vehicle is available for that route, the price shows before you pay; if it does not, contact us before you fly.
Yes. Book with your flight number and scheduled arrival time, and your pickup is planned around that flight, whether it lands late in the evening or you need to leave your hotel before dawn for an early departure. Give an accurate time and address when you book so the driver is scheduled correctly.
We track the arrival of the flight on your reservation, so your pickup adjusts to a delay. If your flight number, date or airline changes, if you miss a connection, or if your flight is canceled, tell customer service so we can move your pickup to the right flight.
Yes. Book a return from your hotel, home or office in Kingston and give us your flight time, so your pickup leaves enough time for the drive along the Palisadoes, check-in and security. You can book the return on its own or together with your arrival as a round trip.
Yes. Visitors complete Jamaica's Immigration and Customs Declaration (C5) form, which you can fill in online for free at enterjamaica.gov.jm before you fly. You also need a valid passport, and you should carry a return or onward ticket. Check the entry rules for your nationality before you travel.
No. Jamaica stays on Eastern Standard Time (UTC-5) all year, so from March to November Kingston is one hour behind New York and Miami. Check your pickup time against local Jamaica time, especially if your flight connects through the United States or Canada.
