Start with the essentials.

A few decisions before you travel can make your stay easier. Use these notes as a checklist, then ask about the details that matter to you.

Montego Bay Airport to the Hip Strip

Have your accommodation address ready: The Irie Inn, 39 Jimmy Cliff Boulevard, Montego Bay. Confirm your pickup point, fare and destination with your transport provider before traveling.

Ask Irie for help planning transportation around your arrival.

Ask about arrival

Montego Bay without a rental car

The inn’s Hip Strip location puts beaches, restaurants and nightlife nearby. Decide which outings you want to keep local and which need transport.

Ask about the route and transport options for each trip, especially if mobility, luggage or a late return is a consideration.

Explore your home base

Montego Bay on a budget

Plan for accommodation, meals, transport and attraction admission separately. Check live room rates for your dates and confirm outing costs before you go.

For private tours, compare the total vehicle price and any admission charges, rather than assuming everything is included.
