Jamaica is the heartbeat of the Caribbean, offering everything from the white sands of Negril to the Blue Mountains of Kingston. However, the island is larger than many visitors realize, and the drive from the airport to your resort can take anywhere from 15 minutes to 2 hours. Navigating narrow coastal roads, driving on the left, and dodging aggressive local traffic can quickly kill the vacation vibe. Explore our guide to finding reliable, professional ground transport that keeps your 'vacation vibe' intact.
TravelThru Transfer Services in Jamaica
Airport Transfer
Most tourists land at Sangster International Airport (MBJ) in Montego Bay. The arrivals hall is famous for its energy, but it can be overwhelming with dozens of tour operators and taxi drivers vying for your attention. Norman Manley International (KIN) in Kingston serves the capital and business travelers, but is far from the main beach resorts.
A pre-booked private transfer with TravelThru cuts through the noise.
Your chauffeur will meet you in the designated arrivals area with a personalized name sign. They shield you from the solicitors and guide you straight to your private vehicle. Whether you are heading to a business meeting in New Kingston or a honeymoon suite in Rose Hall, TravelThru offers fixed pricing, saving you from haggling or unpredictable taxi meters.
Resort & Inter-City Transfers
The drive from the airport to your hotel is often a mini-road trip.
- MBJ to Negril: A 90-minute coastal drive to the famous 7 Mile Beach.
- MBJ to Ocho Rios: A scenic 90-minute journey to the land of waterfalls.
With a private transfer, you control the pace. Unlike shared shuttles, we go direct. However, if you want to stop for a Red Stripe or authentic jerk chicken at a roadside stand, your driver is happy to oblige. You get the efficiency of a transfer with the hospitality of a tour.
Private Tours & Excursions
Don't limit yourself to the resort. Explore the real Jamaica with our hourly chauffeur service.
- Dunn's River & Blue Hole: Visit the falls before the massive cruise ship buses arrive.
- Bob Marley Museum: A pilgrimage to Kingston made easy with a driver who knows the city streets.
- Rum Tours: Enjoy the Appleton Estate tasting without worrying about the drive back.
Group & Wedding Transportation
Jamaica is one of the world's premier wedding destinations. Coordinating arrivals for dozens of guests on different flights can be a logistical nightmare.
TravelThru simplifies event transport.
- Wedding Shuttles: We provide Toyota Coaster buses (20-25 pax) and Luxury Coaches to move guests between hotels and ceremony venues.
- Family Reunions: Keep the whole family together. Our vans offer ample space for luggage, strollers, and beach gear, ensuring grandma and the grandkids travel in equal comfort.

Other Transportation Options in Jamaica
Getting Around the Island
Shared Hotel Shuttles (Tour Buses)
- Pros: Often included in package holidays. Safe and reliable.
- Cons: The "Milk Run." You must wait at the airport until the bus is full. Then, the bus stops at every single resort along the coast to drop people off. If your hotel is last, a 1-hour drive becomes a 3-hour ordeal.
Route Taxis ("Red Plates")
- Pros: Very cheap and an authentic local experience.
- Cons: These are often shared sedans that cram in as many passengers as possible. They do not have air conditioning, driving is aggressive, and they run on set routes, not door-to-door.
Rental Cars
- Pros: Independence.
- Cons: Avoid the hazards of driving in Jamaica. Between left-hand traffic, narrow winding roads, and unreliable GPS, getting around can be difficult. Our professional drivers know the island’s terrain intimately, ensuring you don't have to worry about the road.
