Kingston Airport Transfer - Your Complete Guide to Norman Manley Transfers
Kingston is Jamaica's capital city and cultural heartbeat - home to Bob Marley's legacy, Blue Mountain coffee, and a thriving food and music scene. Norman Manley International Airport (KIN) serves Kingston, located on the Palisadoes peninsula in Kingston Harbour. A private airport transfer is the safest, most comfortable way to get from KIN to your hotel.
Aurum Transfers provides private transfers from Norman Manley Airport to two Kingston zones - Kingston Waterfront (Port Royal area) and New Kingston (business and cultural district). We also connect Kingston to every major resort destination in Jamaica. Every transfer includes Starlink satellite WiFi, meet and greet, and real-time flight tracking.

Transfers from Norman Manley Airport (KIN) to Kingston Waterfront cost $95 with a 35-minute drive. To New Kingston and the uptown business district, a private transfer costs $110 with a 45-minute drive. These are the most affordable transfer routes from KIN.
If you are flying into Montego Bay but staying in Kingston, Aurum Transfers connects MBJ to Kingston Waterfront at $700 (4 hours) and MBJ to New Kingston at $620 (3 hours 30 minutes).
