MBJ to Negril takes about 90 minutes. Here's what a fair private transfer costs and why it's better than a shared shuttle for families.
Negril is on Jamaica's far west coast — about 90 minutes from MBJ airport. US travelers heading to RIU Negril, Royalton Negril, Sandals Negril, or Couples Swept Away need reliable transport after landing.
Private vs shared shuttle
Shared shuttles cost around $25 per person but wait until the bus fills up and make multiple resort stops. A private transfer for 1–4 people runs $65–$80 USD one way — and you leave immediately with just your group.
For families of four, private often costs less than four shuttle seats and is dramatically more comfortable after a long flight.
What to book from Negril
Once you're in Negril, book Rick's Café sunset trips, Mayfield Falls, and beach days through the same operator. Building a relationship with one driver for your whole trip is how repeat US visitors do Jamaica.
