Montego Bay Airport Transfer: Direct Hotel Shuttle & Pickup

Summary

Montego Bay airport shuttle to Negril Ocho Rios Runaway Bay hotels

You’ll step into Jamaica and skip any taxi chaos—just find Desk 8 at Montego Bay airport and let a local driver handle your transfer straight to your hotel in Negril, Ocho Rios, Runaway Bay or beyond. Air-conditioned shuttle, friendly faces, easy pickup and drop-off—so you can actually relax from the moment you land.

What’s the experience like?

The first thing I noticed was the faint smell of salt in the air when we walked out of customs at Sangster International. I wasn’t sure where to go but then spotted Desk 8—just like they’d said in the email. A woman waved, holding a clipboard, and even though I must’ve looked half asleep after that flight, she just grinned and said, “You’re good, come on.” It felt like someone had already been waiting for us. There was this hum of voices—other travelers figuring out their rides—and honestly, I was glad not to be haggling with taxi drivers or searching for a sign with my name on it.

The shuttle itself was cool inside, which was a relief because outside it was sticky-warm (not complaining though—it’s Jamaica). Our driver, Mr. Brown, chatted about which hotels were busiest this week and pointed out a jerk chicken stand he swore by near Trelawny. He laughed when my partner tried to pronounce “Lucea”—I think we both butchered it. The drive to Negril took longer than I expected (Jamaica time is real), but watching the coastline flicker past through the window made up for it. There’s something about seeing palm trees whip by while you’re still clutching your boarding pass that makes vacation feel official.

On our last morning, I kept double-checking my phone for the pickup time (they told us to reconfirm 24 hours before). The van showed up right on time—actually early—and our driver waited while we scrambled with bags and leftover patties. It’s weird how quickly you get used to someone else handling all the details. By the time we pulled up at MBJ again, I kind of wished we’d had one more day—or maybe just another hour sitting in that shuttle watching sunlight move across the seats.
