Starting your Jamaican vacation with a stress-free transfer? This private Montego Bay Airport to Runaway Bay hotel transfer offers a convenient, comfortable way to begin and end your trip, all for just $59 per person. For those arriving or departing from Montego Bay’s Sangster International Airport, this service turns what could be a confusing taxi stand scramble into a smooth, personalized experience.
What we love about this transfer is the personalized service — your own driver waiting inside the airport, ready to escort you directly to your hotel in a private, air-conditioned vehicle. Plus, the bottled water on arrival is a thoughtful touch that makes that initial trip from the airport to your hotel more comfortable, especially after a long flight. The reasonable price and flexible scheduling also stand out, giving you peace of mind that your transfer is both affordable and adaptable to your flight times.
A possible consideration is that, since this is a private transfer, it may not be the cheapest option if you’re traveling alone — at $59, the cost might split better among a group. Also, while the service is straightforward, it’s essential to confirm your pickup time and keep an eye on flight changes, especially if your departure time shifts.
This transfer suits travelers who value comfort and convenience after a long journey, especially those arriving at or departing from Montego Bay and heading to Runaway Bay. It’s perfect for families, couples, or groups who want to start their holiday without the hassle of navigating local transportation or waiting in line for taxis.

The staff at the desk are friendly and professional, confirming your reservation and ensuring you’re ready for your ride. Your driver will be waiting for you, typically with a sign, ready to escort you directly to your hotel or villa in Runaway Bay.

Travel times from Montego Bay to Runaway Bay are approximately one hour, depending on traffic and your hotel’s location. The transfer is direct, with no stops unless you request or if there’s a delay, which is rare.
Return Trip and Flexibility
Scheduling your return is just as simple. Upon check-in at the airport desk, your departure pickup will be scheduled, typically about three hours before your flight.

Value for Money
