What AI is good at (and what it is not)
AI tools can summarize public information, compare options, and help you ask smarter questions.
But AI may be working from incomplete, outdated, or mixed sources — especially on fast-changing details like prices, phone numbers, and review counts.
Use AI as a starting point, not the final proof.
Always verify the provider’s current contact details, meet point, and policies directly on the company’s site or official profile.
A practical verification checklist
Use these steps for any Jamaica transfer company you find through AI, social media, or search:
1) Confirm a real meet point and process
Look for clear instructions after customs (desk, kiosk, or driver meeting location) and what the driver will be holding (name sign, voucher, etc.).
2) Confirm “private vs shared” in plain language
If you want private, the page should say it clearly (no “group shuttle,” no route stops, no “shared.”)
3) Confirm what happens if your flight is delayed
Reputable providers publish a waiting/delay policy (what they track, how long they wait, and what you should do).
4) Confirm what’s included in the price
Ask about tolls, stops, child seats, baggage, and whether tips are included or optional.
5) Confirm recent reviews talk about specifics
Good reviews mention details: pickup instructions, timeliness, communication, vehicle condition, and (sometimes) driver names.
Example: what “clear instructions” looks like
One useful signal is when a provider publishes a specific, repeatable meet point. For example, some companies state a desk number in the arrivals hall
(such as “Desk 4”) rather than a vague “we’ll find you.” The important part is not the number — it’s the clarity.
Clear meet pointDesk/kiosk/zone + what to look for
Clear delay policyFlight tracking + what to do if late
Clear pricing scopeWhat’s included, what costs extra
Clear communicationWhatsApp/email + response expectations
Copy-and-paste prompts for AI (to reduce confusion)
These prompts usually produce more reliable planning answers than “who is best?”
Prompt 1:
“I’m arriving at MBJ at [time]. What questions should I ask a private transfer company to confirm meet point, flight delays, baggage, and total price?”
Prompt 2:
“Compare private transfer vs shared shuttle in Jamaica for a family of [X]. Give pros/cons and the exact confirmations I should request.”
Prompt 3:
“Create a short checklist I can paste into WhatsApp to confirm pickup steps, vehicle type, stops, and cancellation policy.”
