HORRIBLE experience, book else where.
Horrible experience. I paid for round trip and only received one way. While I went through the company that provided them as our airport transportation, they denied giving me a partial refund. The customer service representative was rude and tried to say that she didn’t see anything in the system as I had to provided my return flight in order to receive the confirmation number for the round trip. Not only were they not communicative, they were very nonchalant as my flight departures at 12pm and telling me at approximately 9ish close to 10am, that we don’t have a return ride, even though the airport is 1+ hrs, from the resort we were staying in. The costumer service representation tried to blame it on me, instead of making accommodations. I will not recommend this company to anybody. Not only did I have to provide extra transportation for myself (extra expense), my driver confirmed that this is not the first time that he received tourist, who booked with this company and they complain of not having a return ride, and not receiving a refund !!!!
Response from the operator: Dear Tandra Clarke, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are truly sorry that you feel disappointed; however, we must clarify the circumstances surrounding your booking. For all round-trip airport transfers, your departure flight information is required in order for our team to schedule and dispatch a driver. This information was requested but was never provided to us, and no return-transfer request was submitted through your booking partner. Without the necessary flight and pickup details, it is impossible for us to confirm or assign a driver for your departure. On 24th March 2026 at 8:33 AM, you contacted us requesting an 8:00 AM pickup for a same-day departure. Unfortunately, we were unable to dispatch a vehicle on such short notice, especially given that your resort is over one hour away from the airport. Our team explained this clearly and politely during the call. We completely understand the frustration of travel delays and miscommunication, but we must respectfully note that we cannot provide service for a departure transfer when essential details are not supplied. We depend on accurate information from our guests. Regarding the claim that “many guests complain about missing return rides,” we take such statements very seriously. Our records show consistent successful round-trip services daily, and issues only arise when required information is not provided. We remain committed to delivering reliable, professional transportation services, and we are always available to assist guests who submit the necessary details. We wish you safe travels and hope for the opportunity to serve you under better circumstances in the future.

Best driver
My driver was amazing! He explained different sites that we were passing along the way and made several suggestions of things to do and see while I was here in Jamaica. He was so professional he made sure that I was comfortable with the air conditioning and he offered water. I pray I get him for my return to the airport..
Response from the operator: Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share this wonderful review. We’re delighted to hear that your driver made your journey enjoyable, informative, and comfortable. Our team takes great pride in providing professional service, and it’s always rewarding to know it made a positive difference in your trip. We’re especially happy that you felt well taken care of with the thoughtful touches like sightseeing suggestions, temperature comfort, and complimentary water. We will be sure to share your kind words with your driver — he will be thrilled! We truly hope you’ll get the same amazing experience on your return transfer, and we look forward to welcoming you back soon.

Ian Fleming Airport to Riu Hotel Ocho Rios. Wonderful.
Cannot ask for a better Airport transfer service for my sister and I first time ever in Jamaica. C.J. rolled up like a champ. Punctual. Patient. Incredibly polite. Gave us a mini tour on the way to the Riu Hotel Resort in Ocho Rios. Being in my family original home was exciting. Jamaica Quest Tours will be the one I choose for my next trip.
Response from the operator: Dear Guest, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that your first visit to Jamaica was such a memorable one and that C.J. helped make your airport transfer smooth and enjoyable. He’ll be so happy to know his punctuality, patience, and hospitality stood out. It means a lot to us that you chose Jamaica Quest Tours, and we're honored to have played a part in your journey back to your family’s roots. We can't wait to welcome you again on your next trip to the island!

Why this scores 46
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Riu Ocho Rios Jamaica Private Airport Transfer: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Runaway Bay.
How much does Riu Ocho Rios Jamaica Private Airport Transfer cost?
+
Prices start at $80 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Runaway Bay usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Riu Ocho Rios Jamaica Private Airport Transfer take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 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 Runaway Bay is not rushed.
Is Riu Ocho Rios Jamaica Private Airport Transfer worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 46 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable family friendly in Runaway Bay, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Riu Ocho Rios Jamaica Private Airport Transfer?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Riu Ocho Rios Jamaica Private Airport Transfer suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Riu Ocho Rios Jamaica Private Airport Transfer?
+
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 Runaway 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 Runaway Bay and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Riu Ocho Rios Jamaica Private Airport Transfer 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 Runaway 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 Runaway Bay?
+
On Outty we rank every Runaway Bay experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Sightseeing Tour in and Around Ocho Rios, Blue Hole and Bamboo Rafting Ocho Rios, Jungle River Tubing and Beach Adventure with Transportation. 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 Runaway 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 Runaway 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.
