Preparation. Professionalism. Pride.
Every memorable Jamaican journey begins with an operator who takes pride in the service. JAVO supports the people behind those journeys—with membership, practical guidance and a clearer path through the steps involved in tourism transport.
A stronger foundation for tourism transport operators
Jamaica is known for its warm welcome, remarkable landscapes and vibrant culture. For visitors, the driver who meets them at an airport, hotel or attraction often helps shape their first impression of the island. Professionalism matters from that first greeting to the final drop-off.
Jamaica Adventure Vehicle Operators Limited—JAVO—supports individual operators who want to approach that responsibility with confidence. Our focus is on helping members understand the process, organise their information and prepare for the next step in their transport journey.
Professional service starts before the first trip
A comfortable vehicle is only one part of a good experience. Clear communication, reliable arrangements, respectful conduct and attention to vehicle condition all contribute to a service that guests can trust.
Behind the scenes, operators also need to keep track of documents, application requirements and renewal dates. JAVO brings these practical responsibilities into focus, with operator resources and membership support designed around the questions members actually face.
Choose the support that fits your needs
Some operators prefer to manage their own applications. Others want more assistance coordinating the process. Our Membership Only and Full Service options let you review the available support and choose the approach that suits you.
- Membership Only: for applicants who intend to manage their licensing applications themselves, with the membership support described in their package.
- Full Service: for applicants seeking the additional application support described in the Full Service package.
Before applying, review what your chosen package includes, the required documents and the membership and service terms. Membership runs annually from the payment date and renews on its anniversary.
Clear steps, from enquiry to application
If you have a vehicle—or are in the process of getting one—and want to understand your options, start with our membership enquiry form. Tell us about your vehicle and the assistance you need.
Ready to proceed? Read the application checklist, then complete the online membership application. You can provide your vehicle and driver details, upload supporting documents and review the payment instructions on the confirmation screen.
Our regional structure covers Montego Bay, Ocho Rios and the South Coast. The regional guide explains how parishes are grouped and how membership numbers are assigned.
Membership and licensing are separate steps
JAVO membership approval is separate from approval by government agencies. JAVO membership correspondence supports the relevant process; it does not replace a licence, inspection, insurance or driver requirement. Licensing decisions remain with the relevant authorities.
Once membership is approved, our after-registration guide explains the next steps, including the distinction between JAVO membership letters and preliminary letters issued by the Transport Authority.
Pride in your operation. Care for every journey.
Our vision is a community of operators who value preparation, accountability and professional service. Whether you are getting started or organising the next stage of your operation, JAVO is here to help you understand your membership options and move forward with clearer information.
