Getting to your Jamaican resort doesn’t have to start with chaos. If you’re heading to the Bahia Principe Grand Jamaica in Runaway Bay, this private airport transfer offers a smooth, hassle-free alternative to taxis or shared shuttles. For just over $53 per person, you’ll enjoy a personalized ride that takes you directly from Montego Bay Airport to your resort, typically in about 1 hour 20 minutes to 1 hour 25 minutes, depending on traffic.
What we particularly love about this service is how it eliminates the uncertainty of waiting in line or dealing with multiple stops. Your driver will meet you right outside the airport, often before your scheduled pickup time, with a clean, air-conditioned vehicle just for your group. Plus, the drivers are praised for their friendliness and local knowledge, making the journey not just comfortable but also engaging.
One potential consideration is that, although this is a private transfer, it might not be ideal if you’re traveling solo or on a tight budget, given the per-person cost. Also, if your flight is early or delayed, it’s a good idea to communicate with the provider to ensure your driver is aware of your arrival time—many travelers have noted how helpful the drivers are in accommodating early or late flights.
This transfer suits travelers who value comfort, reliability, and a personal touch.

A Simple, Straightforward Process
Booking this transfer is designed to be smooth. Once you confirm your reservation, the company contacts you to gather your details—group size, luggage, and preferred pickup time. We found this to be helpful because it ensures the vehicle matches your needs, whether you’re traveling light or with a lot of luggage. You’ll then receive confirmation, and your driver will be waiting outside the airport, often before your scheduled time. Several reviews highlight how punctual and prepared the drivers are, even waiting patiently if your flight arrives early.
Meet Your Driver at the Designated Spot
Your meeting point is straightforward—outside the airport’s Salt Coopers area in Runaway Bay. Many travelers appreciate how easy it is to identify their driver, especially if they follow the instructions and look for the company’s sign. One review suggested that displaying passenger names might improve security, but overall, most find it easy to spot their driver thanks to clear communication.
Comfortable and Safe Transportation
The vehicles are described by many as clean, new, and equipped with air conditioning. This can feel like a small luxury after a long flight, especially in the Jamaican heat. The drivers’ professionalism and safety-conscious driving are frequently praised. Several reviews mention how they felt secure, with some drivers going above and beyond—stopping for authentic food or sharing local facts along the way.
An Engaging, Informative Ride
Many drivers don’t just get you from point A to B—they make the ride memorable. We loved the way drivers like Diane G described how their driver pointed out landmarks, taught about Jamaican culture, and even shared fun facts. It turns what could be a boring transfer into an opportunity to learn and get excited about your trip.
Flexibility and Customer Service
Should your flight be delayed or arrive early, don’t worry. Many travelers have mentioned how accommodating their drivers are, waiting patiently or adjusting pickup times. The service provider encourages communication—just send a quick message or email if you’re arriving early or late, and they’ll coordinate accordingly.

At $53.35 per person, this transfer is priced competitively for the convenience it offers. When you consider the cost of a taxi or multiple shared shuttles, plus the comfort and personalized service, it’s a worthwhile investment.
