A private driver/ride to Kingston is nice but expensive. I recommend taking Knutsford Express. Because I travel solo, I take it all the time when I go to Portland, Kingston and Negril and have zero complaints. The bus has never been late and the AC makes the ride quite pleasant. Excellent wifi connection and the on-board power plugs are a major plus. The drivers are courteous, cautious operators.

According to the schedule, there are two daily trips to Kingston from Negril. The fare is only $30 one-way. You are allowed 1 free checked bag and 1 carry-on. Although I’ve never been charged for the extra bag, I believe it’s only $5 each.
