Travel plans change. Flights get rescheduled. Resorts offer a late upgrade that shifts your arrival date. A hurricane watch pops up on the forecast. Your group adds two more people at the last minute.
None of these should cost you money or create headaches with your airport transfer. At Aurum Transfers, our cancellation and modification policy is built around a simple idea: travel is unpredictable, and your transfer service should make the unpredictable painless.
The Policy in Two Sentences
Modifications are free up to 24 hours before your scheduled pickup. Change your date, time, destination, or passenger count -- no fees, no paperwork hassles.
Cancellations receive a full refund when made 24 or more hours before pickup. No deductions, no credits, no hoops to jump through.
That is it. No pages of fine print. No tiers of partial refunds. No "administrative fees" buried in paragraph seven.
Why This Matters More Than You Think
If you have booked any travel component recently -- flights, hotels, rental cars -- you know that cancellation policies have become a profit center for the industry. Airlines charge change fees that can exceed the original ticket. Hotels hold one-night deposits with non-refundable clauses tucked into the booking terms. Rental car companies lock you into rigid pickup windows with penalties for early or late changes.
We believe a transfer service should work differently. Here is why.
Your Flight Schedule Is Not in Your Control
Airlines change flight times. They cancel routes. They merge departures and shift you to a different day. When that happens, your transfer needs to shift too -- and you should not pay twice because the airline changed its mind.
With Aurum Transfers, if your airline reschedules your arrival from Tuesday to Wednesday, you modify your transfer booking at no cost. If the flight gets cancelled entirely and you need to cancel the transfer, you get a full refund as long as it is more than 24 hours before the original pickup.
Weather Happens
Jamaica sits in the hurricane belt. Most visits are completely unaffected by weather, but occasionally a tropical system forces itinerary changes. If a storm alters your plans and you need to adjust or cancel, our policy gives you the flexibility to do so without financial penalty.
Group Travel Is Inherently Unpredictable
Wedding groups, family reunions, corporate retreats -- these involve multiple people with multiple schedules. Someone always needs to change something. Our policy accommodates the reality of group coordination without punishing you for it.
How to Modify or Cancel
The process is straightforward:
Contact us via WhatsApp, email, or through your booking confirmation
Tell us what changed -- new date, new time, new destination, cancellation
We confirm the modification or process the refund
There is no hold music. No automated phone tree. No waiting three to five business days for a response. We typically confirm modifications within hours, often within minutes.
What Happens Inside 24 Hours?
Life does not always give you 24 hours of notice. If something changes within 24 hours of your pickup time, reach out to us anyway. We understand that true emergencies happen, and we will work with you to find a solution. Our drivers are already assigned and our vehicles already prepped at that point, which is why the 24-hour window exists -- but we are not in the business of profiting from your misfortune.
Real-Time Flight Tracking Eliminates One Major Variable
One of the most common reasons people worry about transfer modifications is flight delays. With Aurum Transfers, flight delays are not your problem to manage.
We track every arriving flight in real time. If your plane lands two hours late, your driver knows before you do. They adjust their arrival at the airport automatically. You do not need to call, text, or modify your booking. The service adapts to you.
This is not a courtesy we offer sometimes. It is built into every single transfer we operate. And there is no surcharge for late arrivals, whether your flight lands at 2 PM or 2 AM.
How We Compare
Let us put our policy next to what you will typically find elsewhere in Jamaica:
Shared shuttle services often have strict no-refund policies because they sell individual seats and cannot easily resell a cancelled spot. Miss your shuttle and you are out of pocket entirely.
Taxi stands at the airport have no policy at all -- because there is no booking to cancel. But there is also no price guarantee, no flight tracking, no air-conditioned vehicle waiting for you, and no WiFi.
Rental car companies charge cancellation fees that vary wildly by company and booking channel. Many require 48 to 72 hours notice for a full refund, and some charge a fee regardless of timing.
Hotels routinely require non-refundable deposits, especially for peak season bookings. Many have moved to fully non-refundable rates as the default option, with flexible rates costing significantly more.
Aurum Transfers charges no cancellation fees, no modification fees, and offers a full refund with just 24 hours notice. The price you see is the price you pay -- for up to four guests -- and if plans change, the policy works in your favor.
No Hidden Fees. Period.
While we are on the subject of transparency, let us be clear about what Aurum Transfers never charges:
No late-night surcharges. Your 11 PM flight costs the same as your 11 AM flight.
No holiday surcharges. Christmas Day transfers cost the same as any other day.
No fuel surcharges. The price is the price.
No credit card fees. All major cards accepted at the quoted price.
No luggage fees. Standard luggage for your group is included.
Booking with Confidence
When you book with Aurum Transfers, you are not gambling on your travel plans staying exactly the same. You are securing a premium private transfer with the flexibility to adjust when life requires it.
Our pricing ranges from $75 to $920 for up to four guests, covering all three Jamaica airports -- Sangster International (MBJ), Norman Manley International (KIN), and Ian Fleming International (OCJ) -- to twenty destination zones across the island.
Every transfer includes inside-terminal meet and greet at MBJ and KIN (right outside arrivals at OCJ), Starlink satellite WiFi, cold water, and a professional, JTB-certified driver.
We recommend booking at least 48 hours in advance to guarantee availability, especially during peak season (December through April). But know that whatever you book, you can change it easily and without cost.
Aurum Transfers Limited is a JTB-licensed, Jamaican-owned private transfer company based in Drax Hall, Ocho Rios. We operate a 100% owned fleet with Starlink satellite WiFi in every vehicle.
