Step off your flight in Montego Bay and meet your local driver for a private transfer straight to your Runaway Bay resort or villa. Enjoy cool air-conditioning, friendly conversation, and flexible stops along the way—plus peace of mind knowing pickup is included. It’s a welcome you’ll remember long after you unpack.
I’ll be honest — I was bracing myself for the usual airport chaos at Montego Bay. But right after we got through customs, there was our driver, holding up my name (spelled right, which always feels like a small win). The air outside was thick and sweet, almost salty, and I could hear reggae somewhere off in the parking lot. We’d barely gotten our bags when he waved us over with a big grin and said “Welcome home.” Not sure why that hit me — maybe it’s just how warm people are here.
The drive out to Runaway Bay wasn’t what I expected. It’s about an hour or so, but it didn’t feel long. Our driver — Andre — pointed out the coastline as we went; you catch these flashes of turquoise water between palm trees and little roadside stands selling patties. He asked if we wanted music or to stop for food (I said yes to both), and he laughed when I tried to order in patois. The van was cool inside, which felt good after the sticky heat outside. There’s something about watching the sun start to dip behind those hills while someone local tells you stories about their favorite beach spots… it makes arriving feel less like just another transfer.
On the way back to the airport a few days later, Andre was already waiting at the lobby before we even checked out — early but not rushed. He helped with our bags (even my overstuffed carry-on) and made sure we had time for one last restroom stop before heading into Montego Bay traffic. I still think about that first ride: how easy it all felt, how much lighter everything seemed after landing. Sometimes it’s these small journeys that set the tone for a whole trip, you know?
