A smooth ride from Montego Bay to Negril’s famous Rick’s Café — with comfort, convenience, and a touch of Jamaica’s iconic sunset views. For $185 per person, we get a private transport service designed for groups of up to four, making it ideal for couples or small friends eager to explore one of Jamaica’s most celebrated spots. The journey lasts roughly four hours roundtrip, including pickup from your hotel and return, so it’s an efficient way to experience Negril without the hassle of renting a car or navigating public transportation.
What we really appreciate about this transfer is its personalized service—Ryan, the driver, promises to get you on time every time, which is a real relief in Jamaica’s sometimes unpredictable traffic. The ride comes with free WiFi, bottled water, and snacks, turning the drive into part of the experience rather than just transportation. Plus, the seamless roundtrip arrangement means you don’t have to worry about timing or logistics—just sit back, enjoy the scenery, and anticipate the unforgettable sunset at Rick’s Café.
One possible consideration is that this is a private transfer, so if you’re looking for a group experience or a more social vibe, this might not be the best fit. Also, lunch is not included—so plan to bring your own or grab something at Rick’s Café if you want a full meal.

Returning to Montego Bay
After soaking in the views and maybe snapping some photos, your driver will be waiting to take you back to Montego Bay.
