Airport Transfers
Private airport transportation from Montreal Airport (YUL) to hotels and homes downtown, in Old Montreal and Laval, and to Central Station, booked before you land.
Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Montréal–Pierre Elliott Trudeau 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 Montreal takes you from Montréal-Trudeau (YUL) to hotels and apartments downtown, in Old Montreal, the Plateau and around the Old Port, to homes in Laval and the West Island, and to Central Station.
Montreal airport transfers start in the public arrivals hall of YUL's single terminal, where your driver waits with a name sign after baggage claim and customs. We track your flight, so the pickup follows your real landing time, and the fixed price for your vehicle is agreed before you fly, from a sedan for two to a van for a family or group with luggage.
Each Montreal airport transfer goes door to door to your hotel, apartment or vacation rental downtown, in Old Montreal or in Laval, or to Central Station for your train. Going on to Mont-Tremblant, Ottawa or Québec City? Enter your address in the booking form to see whether a transfer is offered for that route before you pay.
Our Montreal airport shuttle is a private van for your party only, not a shared bus that stops at other downtown hotels on the way. It leaves as soon as you have your bags, with room for suitcases, strollers and ski bags, and suits families and groups staying downtown or in Old Montreal.
From private sedans to group vans. One fixed price per vehicle, whatever your party size.

Montréal–Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (YUL) is in Dorval, west of downtown Montreal, and ADM Aéroports de Montréal runs it. All flights use one terminal with domestic, international and transborder zones, and every arriving passenger exits on the arrivals level, the lower floor.
If you fly in from outside Canada, including from the United States, you go through Canada Border Services Agency inspection before baggage claim; waits vary with the number of flights landing. After baggage claim you walk through to the public arrivals hall, where pre-booked drivers meet passengers. Signs are in French and English.
Montreal is on Eastern Time (UTC−5) and switches to UTC−4 for daylight saving time from March to November. It uses the Canadian dollar.
eTA or visa. Most visitors from visa-exempt countries need an approved Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) before flying to Canada; US citizens do not. Travelers from other countries may need a visa, so check the Government of Canada's requirements for your passport.
Advance Declaration. You can fill in your customs declaration in the ArriveCAN app before landing, which can save time at the border.
French in Quebec. French is Quebec's official language, so street signs and many addresses are in French. Give your full address as written, with the street name and any apartment number, so your driver finds it the first time.
US preclearance on the way home. Flights to the United States clear US immigration and customs at YUL before boarding, so allow for it when you book your ride back to the airport.
