The Truth About Montego Bay Airport Taxi Cost
Visitors to Jamaica are often surprised at how much taxi services from MBJ can vary. Some companies advertise one price online, only to add commissions or “per person” charges later. Others use third-party platforms that push up the price with heavy markups. The result? Travelers pay more than they should.
Best Jamaica Tours operates differently. Our Montego Bay airport taxi rates are flat, transparent, and family-friendly. For example, most Montego Bay hotels range from just $15–$30 USD per vehicle, while longer routes like Ocho Rios or Negril remain lower than the market average.
For proof, see our dedicated Montego Bay Airport Taxi Cost page, which lists exact fares for popular destinations. Unlike many operators, we have nothing to hide.
Another advantage is convenience. After clearing customs, our guests walk straight to Desk #4 inside the airport, where our friendly staff and drivers are waiting. No long searches outside, no aggressive sales pitches, just a professional welcome.
Booking in advance ensures your airport taxi service to hotels is ready the moment you arrive. And since we allow payment on arrival, there’s no risk. You get the best price, backed by a trusted Jamaican brand.
