Airport Transfers
Private airport transportation from Sangster International Airport (MBJ) to hotels and resorts in Montego Bay and the Hip Strip, and on to Negril and Ocho Rios.
Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Sangster 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 Montego Bay takes you from Sangster International Airport to resorts and hotels around Montego Bay and the Hip Strip on Gloucester Avenue, and further along Jamaica's north and west coasts to Negril and Ocho Rios.
Our Montego Bay airport transfers start in the ground transportation hall after customs, where transfer companies meet passengers at their numbered desks and customer service staff point you to the right one. We follow your flight, so the pickup moves with your real landing time.
Choose a vehicle sized for your party, from a sedan for two to a van for a family or group, and each Montego Bay airport transfer goes door to door to your resort, hotel or villa in Montego Bay. Going on to Negril, Ocho Rios or Kingston? Enter the address in the booking form: when a vehicle is available for that route, the price shows before you pay; if it does not, contact us before you fly.
Our Montego Bay airport shuttle is a private van for your party only: it leaves as soon as you are through customs and goes straight to your resort, with no stops at other hotels along the coast. There is room for suitcases, golf bags and beach gear, so it suits families, groups and wedding parties.
From private sedans to group vans. One fixed price per vehicle, whatever your party size.

Sangster International Airport (MBJ) is on the eastern edge of Montego Bay, on Jamaica's north coast, and is the island's main arrival point for visitors. It has one main passenger terminal, with an eastern concourse for departures, used by all scheduled airlines.
On arrival you clear immigration first: if you filled in the C5 form online, you scan your passport at a kiosk and take the receipt to an officer; if not, tablets and staff in the immigration hall can help, though that line is longer. Then you collect your bags and choose a customs line: nothing to declare, items to declare, or special assistance. Past customs you reach the 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/Customs Declaration (C5) form online up to 30 days before you fly, so you can use the passport kiosks on arrival. You can still complete it on arrival.
Passport and return ticket. Visitors need a valid passport and should carry a return ticket.
Jamaican dollar. The currency is the Jamaican dollar, and US dollars are widely accepted in tourist areas.
No clock change. Jamaica does not use daylight saving time, so from March to November its clocks differ from New York's; check your pickup time against local time.
