Getting to and from Montego Bay with Mario Tours & Transportation
When planning your trip to Jamaica, efficient and comfortable transportation can make a big difference. For anyone arriving at Sangster International Airport or heading to the cruise port, Montego Bay Hotels Airport/Cruise Port Transfers offers a private, hassle-free way to start or end your vacation. For just $23.50 per person, you get a personal vehicle that whisks you directly to your hotel or the cruise pier in about 30 minutes.
What we love most about this service is the ease of booking—most travelers book about two weeks in advance—and the personalized experience it provides. You’re not stuck in a shared shuttle or negotiating fares with a taxi driver—you simply meet your driver with a sign, and the journey begins. Plus, the option to customize your ride with a bottle of wine or snacks adds a touch of luxury to your travel experience.
A potential consideration is that parking fees are not included, so if your destination or cruise port charges for parking, that’s an extra to keep in mind. But overall, this service suits travelers who value reliability, comfort, and a personal touch, especially those arriving for the first time or on tight schedules.
If you’re looking for a smooth start or finish to your trip, or want to avoid the unpredictability of taxis, this transfer service fits the bill perfectly.
