Montego Bay - Negril: Private Airport Transfer, No Stops

Summary

Direct private transfer from Montego Bay airport to Negril hotel

You’ll step off your flight in Montego Bay and spot your driver waiting with your name — no stress or confusion.

Enjoy small local stories from your guide and watch Jamaica roll by outside your window. It’s simple comfort that lets you start relaxing right away.

What’s the experience like?

I’ll be honest — I was a little nervous about landing in Montego Bay after a long flight, not really sure how the whole airport transfer thing would go. But as soon as I walked out of arrivals, there was Mr. Campbell holding up my name (handwritten, which felt oddly comforting). He grinned and said “Welcome home!” — and somehow that made me relax right away.

The drive from Montego Bay Airport to my hotel in Negril took about an hour and a half, but it didn’t feel long. The van smelled faintly of coconut air freshener and the AC was a relief after the sticky heat outside. Mr. Campbell pointed out little things along the way — like where he gets his favorite jerk chicken (“not for tourists,” he winked) and the spot where Bob Marley played once. I tried asking him about patois phrases, but honestly I probably butchered every one. He just laughed and kept driving.

I liked that we didn’t stop anywhere unless I asked (which I didn’t — I just wanted to get to the beach). There were moments when the road curved close to the sea and you could see flashes of turquoise water through the trees. Sometimes we’d pass locals waving or selling fruit by the roadside. It’s funny what sticks with you: the hum of reggae on the radio, or how quiet it got when we turned off onto smaller roads near Negril. I still think about that first glimpse of palm trees swaying outside my window.
