Jamaica VIP Airport Arrival Service — What Is It and Is It Worth It?

VIP arrival in Jamaica ranges from included meet and greet (free with your transfer booking) to full lounge + fast-track immigration ($83/person extra). Here is what each option actually delivers.

Quick Answer

Jamaica VIP airport arrival service combines priority immigration processing, lounge access, and a private driver with a name board — bypassing the standard arrivals process entirely. Aurum Transfers provides included meet and greet at all three Jamaica airports. Full VIP with Club MoBay lounge adds $83 per person on top.

Included: Aurum meet and greet

Every Aurum Transfers booking includes a driver waiting inside the arrivals hall with a professionally printed name board. You clear immigration and customs as normal, then walk out to your driver — no searching, no waiting outside in heat. This is included in your transfer price with no extra charge.

Premium: Club MoBay VIP lounge

Club MoBay ($83/person arrivals, $43/person departures) adds: priority queue at immigration, lounge with food and drinks during processing, luggage cart assistance, and escort to your vehicle. Genuinely valuable on peak arrival days when immigration queues are 40+ minutes.

Ultra-premium: private terminal

Private aviation terminals (FBO services) are available at MBJ for private jet arrivals. These bypass the public terminal entirely. Contact Aurum for private aviation transfers.

Recommendation by trip type

Short trip (3-4 nights): Club MoBay arrival worth considering — maximise every day. Long trip (7+ nights): Standard Aurum meet and greet is sufficient — the immigration queue is a one-time thing. Business traveller: Club MoBay departure ($43) may be more valuable than arrival. Family with young children: Club MoBay arrival reduces stress significantly.

Frequently asked questions

What is meet and greet at a Jamaica airport?

Meet and greet means your Aurum Transfers driver waits inside the arrivals hall with a personalised name board — you do not need to go to a taxi rank or search outside the terminal. This is included in every Aurum booking at MBJ, KIN, and OCJ at no extra charge.

What is the difference between Club MoBay and a private transfer?

Club MoBay is a VIP lounge and immigration assistance service inside the airport terminal. A private transfer is the vehicle and driver that takes you to your resort. Many guests use both — Club MoBay handles the arrivals process, Aurum handles the drive. They are complementary services.

Is VIP arrival worth it for a Jamaica vacation?

For most leisure travellers, Aurum's included meet and greet delivers the most important benefit — a driver waiting with your name when you exit customs — without the extra cost. Club MoBay adds value if you want lounge access and immigration queue priority, particularly on peak arrival days.
