Why Private Transfers Suit Families
Shared shuttles are popular for solo travellers and couples travelling light, but they work against families. You wait for the shuttle to fill, share space with other passengers, and endure multiple resort stops before your own. A private transfer is direct: your driver meets you in the arrivals hall, helps with luggage and strollers, and drives straight to your property. There are no strangers in the vehicle, no unexpected detours, and no extra wait time after a flight.
Car Seats in Jamaica — What You Need to Know
Aurum Transfers provides child seats free on request — simply specify the ages of your children when booking and the appropriate seat will be fitted for your vehicle. Jamaican roads vary in surface quality outside the major highways, so a properly fitted seat matters beyond legal compliance. Rear-facing infant seats, forward-facing toddler seats, and booster seats are all available. Do not assume a seat will be on hand if you have not requested it — note child ages at the time of booking to guarantee availability.
Drive Times and Keeping Kids Comfortable
From MBJ Sangster, the main resort drives are Negril at roughly one hour fifty minutes and Ocho Rios at around one hour forty minutes. All vehicles are air-conditioned. Drivers carry chilled water, and comfort stops or bathroom breaks on request are standard practice. For families with very young children or infants, letting your driver know at booking allows them to plan the route with a stop in mind. USB charging is available so tablets and devices stay powered for the journey.
Luggage, Strollers, and Bulky Gear
Families travel heavy. Strollers, travel cots, beach gear, and oversized cases all need space. When booking, note the number of bags, whether you are travelling with a pushchair or pram, and any other bulky items. This lets the operator confirm the right vehicle size for your group's actual load. There are no excess baggage charges for transfer vehicles — it is your vehicle for the journey, fitted to your needs as declared at booking.
Booking Tips for Families
Book your transfer before you depart, not at the airport. Pre-booking locks in your rate, secures the right vehicle size, and ensures child seats are reserved and fitted. Share your flight number so the driver can track your arrival and adjust timing if the flight is delayed — you will not be charged for waiting caused by the airline. Aurum Transfers is JTB-licensed and provides meet and greet service at both MBJ and KIN, with a named driver waiting in the arrivals hall so there is no confusion on exit.
