Do you pick up from Sangster Airport (MBJ) to RIU and Royalton resorts?

Yes — daily. We provide private airport transfers from MBJ to RIU Montego Bay, RIU Negril, Royalton Blue Waters, Royalton White Sands, and every major all-inclusive resort across Jamaica.

How much does an airport transfer cost in US dollars?

We quote per vehicle, not per person. A private van for 1–4 people from MBJ to nearby Montego Bay resorts starts around $40–$55 USD. MBJ to Negril is typically $65–$80 USD one way. We always give you the full price before you book.

Is this cheaper than booking through my resort?

Usually yes. Resorts often charge $150–$250+ round trip for transfers. Booking direct with a local operator like us typically saves money — and you get a private vehicle just for your group.

Can I pay in US dollars, Zelle, or CashApp?

Yes. We accept USD cash, Zelle, CashApp, PayPal, and major credit cards. Many of our US guests pay in dollars — whatever is easiest for you.

We're a big family/group — do you have large vehicles?

Absolutely. Our Toyota Hiace fits up to 12 and our Coaster bus handles up to 30 passengers. Perfect for family reunions, friend trips, and church groups visiting Jamaica.

Are your drivers licensed and safe?

Every driver is Jamaica Tourist Board certified, fully insured, and experienced on Jamaican roads. Your safety is our top priority — we want you to come back every year.

MBJ Airport Transfer Guide: Getting to Your Jamaica Resort in 2025

Everything US travelers need to know about private transfers from Sangster Airport (MBJ) to RIU, Royalton, Sandals, and other all-inclusive resorts.

Sangster International Airport (MBJ) in Montego Bay is where most American flights arrive in Jamaica. After a long flight, the last thing you want is confusion about how to reach your resort — especially if you booked an all-inclusive at RIU, Royalton, Sandals, or Secrets.

A private airport transfer is the most popular choice for US travelers. Unlike resort-booked shuttles that can cost $150–$250 round trip, a local licensed operator typically charges a flat USD rate per vehicle — not per person — which saves money for families and groups.

How private MBJ transfers work

You book ahead via WhatsApp or a website quote form. Your driver tracks your flight, meets you in the arrivals area with a name sign, and drives you directly to your resort — no shared bus, no extra stops.

Typical one-way pricing (1–4 passengers): Montego Bay area resorts $40–$55 USD, Falmouth/Royalton Blue Waters $50–$65 USD, Negril $65–$80 USD, Ocho Rios $90–$110 USD. Prices vary by operator and vehicle size.

Tips for a smooth arrival

Book at least 48 hours before travel. Share your flight number, resort name, and group size. Have WhatsApp ready — most Jamaica operators communicate through it.

Pay in USD on arrival or use Zelle/CashApp if arranged in advance. Keep your operator's phone number saved in case of flight delays.
