Montego Bay Airport Transfer: Private Car & Fast Resort Drop

Summary

Private ride from Sangster Airport to Montego Bay hotels with local driver

You’ll step off your flight in Montego Bay and be met by a local driver holding your name sign—no guessing or searching. Relax in a private air-conditioned car for a quick ride straight to your hotel lobby. Along the way, catch glimpses of city life and maybe swap stories with your driver. It’s simple but feels personal—the kind of welcome that stays with you.

What’s the experience like?

The first thing I noticed stepping out of Sangster International was the thick, warm air — not sticky, just that soft humidity you only get near the sea. There was a guy holding a sign with my name (I never get tired of that little thrill), grinning like he’d known me for years. He waved me over, introduced himself as Dwayne, and we were off to the car before I could even start overthinking my accent.

I’ve done plenty of airport transfers where you stand around forever or try to figure out which van is yours. This Montego Bay airport transfer was different — no crowd, no confusion. Dwayne chatted about his favorite jerk chicken spot (he swears by Scotchies), and pointed out the stretch of turquoise just beyond the road. The drive itself? Maybe ten minutes if traffic’s light, but honestly it felt even quicker. The AC was cold enough to make me forget the sunburn on my neck.

There was this one moment at a stoplight — reggae drifting from another car window, someone selling fruit under a faded umbrella — where it hit me that I’d finally arrived. Not in the rushed, touristy way, but actually here. Dwayne laughed when I tried to say “thank you” in patois (I butchered it). He just nodded and said “Respect.” That stuck with me more than I expected.
