You have booked your flights. You have secured your accommodation. Now comes the part that separates a smooth Jamaica arrival from a stressful one: getting from the airport to your destination.
A private airport transfer means no waiting in taxi queues, no negotiating prices in an unfamiliar airport, and no cramming into a shared shuttle that stops at multiple hotels before reaching yours. With Aurum Transfers, the entire process - from booking to arrival at your accommodation - is designed to be simple, transparent, and stress-free.
Here is exactly how it works.
Step 1: Select Your Airport and Destination
Visit aurum-transfers.com/book and start by selecting your arrival airport:
Sangster International Airport (MBJ) - Montego Bay
Norman Manley International Airport (KIN) - Kingston
Ian Fleming International Airport (OCJ) - Ocho Rios/Boscobel
Then choose your destination from our 20 destination zones across Jamaica. Each zone covers a specific area and the properties within it, so whether you are heading to a major resort, a boutique hotel, or a private villa, your transfer takes you directly to the door.
Not sure which airport to fly into? As a general guide:
MBJ is best for Montego Bay, Negril, Falmouth, and western Jamaica
KIN is best for Kingston, the Blue Mountains, Portland, and the South Coast
OCJ is best for Ocho Rios and the surrounding north-central coast
Step 2: Choose Your Date, Time, and Pay Securely
Once you have selected your route, pick your arrival date and estimated landing time. We use your scheduled landing time - not the time you expect to clear customs - because our system handles the rest.
Payment is processed securely online through our booking platform. All major credit and debit cards are accepted. The price you see is the price you pay - no hidden fees, no fuel surcharges, no late-night add-ons.
How much does it cost? Private airport transfers with Aurum Transfers range from $75 to $920, depending on the route. Shorter transfers like MBJ to Hip Strip Montego Bay start at $75, while longer cross-island routes like KIN to West End Cliffs Negril are $920.
Every price is fixed and covers. That means a couple pays the same as a family of four - no per-person pricing, just one transparent rate for your entire group.
Step 3: Receive Instant Confirmation
The moment your booking is confirmed, you will receive:
Email confirmation with your booking reference, route details, date, and time
WhatsApp confirmation with the same details for quick mobile access
Save your booking reference - it is your key to any future communication about your transfer. That said, most guests never need to contact us after booking because the system handles everything automatically.
Step 4: Receive Your Driver Details Before Landing
Before your flight lands in Jamaica, you will receive a WhatsApp message with:
Your driver's name
Your driver's photo (so you can recognise them immediately)
Vehicle details - make, model, and colour
Contact number for your driver (though you likely will not need it)
This message arrives before you land, so by the time you are taxiing to the gate, you already know exactly who is meeting you and what vehicle to look for.
Step 5: Your Flight Is Tracked Automatically
This is where Aurum Transfers does something most transfer services in Jamaica do not. We track your flight in real time using automated flight monitoring. Here is what that means for you:
If your flight is on time, your driver will be in position at the arrivals terminal when you clear customs.
If your flight is delayed, our system detects the delay automatically and adjusts your driver's arrival time. No phone calls needed. No worrying about whether your driver will still be there. No extra charges.
If your flight arrives early, we adjust for that too.
You do not need to call, text, or email anyone about delays. The system handles it, and your driver adapts. This is included in every booking at no additional cost.
Step 6: Meet and Greet at Arrivals
Here is where the Aurum Transfers experience becomes tangible.
At Sangster International Airport (MBJ): Your driver meets you in the arrivals meet and greet area with a name sign. Not in the car park. Not across a busy road. Inside the building, so the first face you see after clearing customs is your driver.
At Norman Manley Airport (KIN): Same meet and greet. Your driver is waiting for you in the arrivals hall with your name.
At Ian Fleming Airport (OCJ): Your driver meets you right outside the arrivals area. OCJ is a small, intimate airport, so the walk from the terminal to your vehicle is seconds.
From there, it is a direct, private ride to your accommodation. No shared rides, no stopping at other hotels, no detours. Just you, your group, a comfortable vehicle with air conditioning and Starlink satellite WiFi, and a JTB-certified driver who knows every road on the island.
What If Your Plans Change?
Travel plans shift. Flights get rescheduled. Dates move. Aurum Transfers is built to handle this:
Free modifications up to 24 hours before pickup - change your date, time, or destination at no cost
Full refund for cancellations made 24 or more hours before pickup - no questions, no fees
This flexibility means you can book your transfer early - even before your trip is fully planned - and adjust as needed without financial risk.
What Is Included in Every Transfer
Every Aurum Transfers booking includes:
Starlink satellite WiFi - we are the only transfer service in Jamaica with satellite internet in every vehicle. Stream, message, and browse from the moment you step in.
Air conditioning - properly cooled vehicles, not the "crack a window" variety
Cold water - because you have just walked through a Caribbean airport
Professional JTB-certified driver - licensed, background-checked, and trained for hospitality
Real-time flight tracking - automatic delay adjustment at no extra charge
Meet and greet - meet and greet at MBJ and KIN, outside arrivals at OCJ
Door-to-door service - directly to your accommodation, no matter how remote

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I book a transfer for more than 4 guests? Yes. For groups of 5 or more, we can arrange multiple standard vehicles or our Jammin' Shuttle (up to 10 guests) or Yaadman Executive Coach (up to 20 guests). Contact us for group pricing.
Do you provide child seats? Yes - child seats and booster seats are free on request. Specify your children's ages when booking, and we will have the appropriate seats installed.
Is there a late-night surcharge? No. Our prices are fixed regardless of your arrival time. A midnight landing costs the same as a midday one.
How far in advance should I book? We recommend booking at least 48 hours in advance to guarantee availability, especially during peak season (December through April). That said, we do accommodate last-minute bookings when availability allows.
