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.

Here is exactly how it works.

Step 1: Select Your Airport and Destination

Visit aurum-transfers.com/book-online 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.

All major credit and debit cards are accepted.

How much does it cost?

Every price is agreed 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.

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

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.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I book a transfer for more than 4 guests? Yes. Contact us for group pricing.

Do you provide child seats? Yes - child seats and booster seats are free on request.

Is there a late-night surcharge? No. 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).
