Driver from Mo'bay airport?

Country forums / Caribbean / Jamaica

Hello all,
does anyone have a contact # or an email for a good driver from the airport in Montego Bay. We are a group of 5 + luggage so will probably need a van but if we can find someone good we will use him again for touring around. Any help would be appreciated.

mobay airport to where?

When I was in Montego Bay in October, 2008, I used this guy for a day tour and to take me from my hotel to the airport: Adrian, of Sunshine Tours Enterprise. He had a van at the time, but he was talking about getting another vehicle, a bigger one I think. He's a very nice guy, and I really being shown around by him. I have two phone numbers for him; (876) 869-2675 and (876) 463-7761.

I don't know if Gary has an email ( don't think so.) but he definitely uses his phone for setting up pickups. Give your name and be sure to give your flight info.: flight # and airline, arrival time . Don't freak if there are delays. Gary and the others who are licensed driversfor are used to dealing with delays and screw-ups.

Do carry his cell phone # s with you. I have paid a J'can airport employee to call , on her cell phone, our driver where seriously delayed and re-routed. ... he was outside waiting for us.

drive yourself. they have vans at the airport. do yourselves huge a favor and rent one. you'll have freedom to come and go as you please and with a group like yours it won't be expensive at all. and the biggest benefit... it's way more fun driving yourself! i've done it with family and friends repeatedly and it's so much better! we've tried it both ways. no comparison.

I give Gary two thumbs up and all bonus points for being reliable, helpful and kind. Good choice for excursions, short or long distance.

While some might recommend driving yourself, I found it relaxing and enjoyable to have someone who knows where he's going and the customs of the road and so forth to take care of all that while I gawked and took photos.

To each his/her own...but I don't think you'll be sorry riding with Gary.

Cheers.
