Great Experience
We booked last minute roundtrip transportation from the airport in Montego Bay to Bahia Principe in Runaway Bay. Our party of five was picked up promptly and taken to our resort. Our driver going to Runaway Bay was Malcolm, and he was very kind and patient. Our driver coming back to the airport was Dane...I think that's what he said. At any rate, he was entertaining and gave us a mini tour en route to the airport. We got to the airport in plenty of time to check in, go through security and stop and get snacks. I will always recommend them to anyone going to Jamaica!

Totally unorganized and undependable
Upon arrival at the airport, no one from Jam Tours was there to greet us in the specified area, as it was indicated in the email. We went into the terminal where all the ground transportation desks are located, finally found someone to direct us where Jam Tours was located outside the terminal. After waiting for 45 minutes, a driver arrived. He let us know that the staff member that was supposed to greet us went home and didn't tell anyone. So he was unaware that we had arrived or that we had been waiting. He did a good job of getting us to our resort. The return trip from our resort to the airport is a complete joke. We were in the lobby of our resort well ahead of our scheduled pickup time and waited until 30 minutes after our pickup time before we asked at the desk for information. They attempted to contact Jam tours at the numbers provided to no avail. We finally asked about alternate options and they had a taxi pick us up costing an addition $100.00 above what we had already paid Jam tours. We have been waiting on a refund since. Included are the replies we have received about our refund. Feb. 4, 2020: Refund we down in few days we sorry for the inconvenience. April 20, 2020: Sorry delay. Well try complete refund by end of this month thank for your understanding We will see what happens but not holding our breath. Do not book this company for your ground transportation in Jamaica.

Thanks for the Ride
Had 9 for a private ride. On time, great service, we refused the half way bathroom stop and shopping. We missed breakfast and lunch on plane and were quite dehydrated. Water would have been nice. Great vehicle. Thank you

Wedding transfers
Kemar was amazing and very responsive. The drivers were great and my parents and grandparents were well taken care of.

Not bad, but not great
I figured a private transfer would save airport aggravation. We ran around a lot trying to find these guys, then waited more for them to find a driver. Which was the point of a private transfer in the first place. Making a couple stops enroute to our hotel is no biggie. It's the waiting and hassle at the airport I wanted to avoid. Next time I just book the JTL bus. Big comfortable bus with a/c and a smooth, safe ride. We took that for the trip back to the airport from the hotel and it was superb. Save your money here and get the Club Mobay for both arrival and departure to save your nerves and time at the MBJ airport.

MBJ Transfer - Runaway Bay Hotels: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Montego Bay.
How much does MBJ Transfer - Runaway Bay Hotels cost?
+
Prices start at $94 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Montego Bay usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does MBJ Transfer - Runaway Bay Hotels take?
+
Plan for about 1.2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Montego Bay is not rushed.
Is MBJ Transfer - Runaway Bay Hotels worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.1/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Montego Bay, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule MBJ Transfer - Runaway Bay Hotels?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is MBJ Transfer - Runaway Bay Hotels suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book MBJ Transfer - Runaway Bay Hotels?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Montego Bay can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Montego Bay and add a light layer if any part of the 1.2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does MBJ Transfer - Runaway Bay Hotels start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Montego Bay within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Montego Bay?
+
On Outty we rank every Montego Bay experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Appleton Estate Admission Ticket & Distillery Tour with Tastings, Blue Hole and Dunn's River Falls Private Tour from Montego Bay, Montego Bay Clear Kayak Drone Photoshoot & Video. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Montego Bay?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Montego Bay?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
