Montego Bay Private Airport Transfer & Welcome Drink

Summary

Private Ride from Montego Bay Airport to Trelawny Resorts

Step into Jamaica with a private transfer from Montego Bay airport — cold Red Stripe in hand, reggae playing softly, and a local driver who makes you feel at home before you reach your hotel. It’s those first easy moments that set the tone for your trip.

What’s the experience like?

It’s funny how the airport noise just drops away the second you step outside in Montego Bay — one minute it’s baggage carousels and announcements, then suddenly you’re blinking in the sun and someone’s waving a little sign with your name. Our driver, Andre, grinned like he’d known us for years. He handed me an ice-cold Red Stripe before I’d even sat down (I’m not usually a beer person but honestly, it hit different after that flight).

The van was spotless and cool — not that freezing kind of AC, just enough to take the edge off the sticky air. I kept catching bits of reggae on the radio between Andre’s stories about growing up near Falmouth. He asked what music we liked and actually played it (I tried to request something in patois — he laughed so hard I nearly spilled my drink). The drive from Montego Bay airport to Excellence felt quick, maybe 40 minutes? Hard to tell when you’re half-watching palm trees blur by and half-trying to text home using the free WiFi.

I didn’t expect to feel so… looked after? There was bottled water if you wanted it, and Andre made sure we had everything sorted for check-in at Royalton before we even pulled up. It’s a small thing but having someone local just chat with you about where to get real jerk chicken or which beach isn’t packed with cruise crowds — that sticks with me more than any fancy lobby. The ride ended too soon, honestly.
