Airport Transportation in Edmonton

Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Edmonton International Airport to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.

After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.

Our airport transportation in Edmonton covers downtown hotels, West Edmonton Mall, the University of Alberta, Sherwood Park and St. Albert, with longer trips west to Jasper National Park and a vehicle sized to your party and winter luggage.

Edmonton Airport Transfers

Our Edmonton airport transfers start in the arrivals hall on Level 1 of YEG's single terminal, where your driver meets you once you are through baggage claim and customs. We track your flight, and the price for the whole vehicle is fixed before you fly.

Choose a sedan for a couple, an SUV with room for winter coats and extra bags, or a van for families and work crews. Every Edmonton airport transfer goes door to door: to a hotel downtown or at West Edmonton Mall, a residence at the University of Alberta, a home in Sherwood Park or St. Albert, or a lodge in Jasper.

Edmonton Airport Shuttle

Our Edmonton airport shuttle is a private van for your party only, never shared with other travelers. It leaves as soon as you are through arrivals and has room for suitcases, ski bags and winter gear, which suits families, sports teams and groups heading into the city or on to Jasper.

Landing at Edmonton Airport

Edmonton International Airport (YEG) is the main airport for Edmonton and northern Alberta. It lies south of the city in Leduc County, next to the town of Leduc.

All flights use one terminal on two levels: arrivals on Level 1 and departures on Level 2. Passengers flying to the United States clear US immigration and customs at YEG's US preclearance before boarding.

Arriving from abroad, you clear Canadian border services first, using the primary inspection kiosks or Advance Declaration in the ArriveCAN app, then a border officer. Bags are collected on Level 1, where the arrivals hall is. Edmonton is on Mountain Time and changes its clocks for daylight saving.

Entry requirements and local notes

eTA or visa before you fly. Most visa-exempt visitors need an approved Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) before boarding a flight to Canada; travelers from other countries may need a visitor visa.

Advance Declaration. Filling in Advance Declaration in the ArriveCAN app before you land saves time at the primary inspection kiosks.

Winter cold. Edmonton winters are long and very cold. Keep a warm coat, hat and gloves in your carry-on, as you step outside to reach the vehicle, and allow for winter road conditions on trips to Jasper.

Mountain Time. Edmonton is on Mountain Time and observes daylight saving, so give return pickup times in local time.
