Airport Transfers
Private airport transportation from Halifax Stanfield (YHZ) in Nova Scotia to downtown Halifax, the waterfront, Dartmouth, Bedford and the cruise terminals, booked before you land.
Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Halifax Stanfield 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 Halifax runs from Stanfield to hotels and homes in downtown Halifax and along the waterfront, the South End, Dartmouth, Bedford and Fall River, and to the cruise terminals at the Halifax Seaport.
Halifax airport transfers start in the arrivals area of the single terminal, where your driver meets you after baggage claim, or after Canadian border services if you fly in from abroad or the United States. Give us your flight number and we track it, so the pickup follows your real landing time, and the price for your vehicle is fixed before you fly.
Choose a sedan for a couple or a business trip, or an SUV or van for families and groups with luggage. Each Halifax airport transfer goes door to door, whether to a downtown hotel, a home in Dartmouth or Bedford, or the Seaport to join your cruise. Heading on to Peggy's Cove, Lunenburg or the Annapolis Valley? Enter your address in the booking form to see whether a transfer is offered for that route; if it is not, contact us before you fly.
Our Halifax airport shuttle is a private van for your party only, not the city bus or a coach that stops along the way. It leaves when you have your bags, with room for suitcases, strollers and golf clubs, and suits families, groups and cruise passengers heading to the Seaport.
From private sedans to group vans. One fixed price per vehicle, whatever your party size.

If you arrive from outside Canada, including from the United States, you clear Canadian border services before baggage claim, using the Advance Declaration in ArriveCAN or the border kiosks, then a border officer. Domestic passengers go straight to baggage claim. Everyone exits into the same arrivals area, where pre-booked drivers meet passengers.
