Airport Transfers
Private airport transportation from Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport (YWG) to downtown Winnipeg, The Forks, Polo Park, the University of Manitoba and homes across the city.
Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson 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 Winnipeg covers downtown hotels and The Forks, Polo Park, the University of Manitoba and private homes and offices across the city, with a vehicle sized to your party and winter luggage.
Our Winnipeg airport transfers start in the arrivals hall on Level 1 of YWG'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 teams. Every Winnipeg airport transfer goes door to door: to a hotel downtown or by The Forks, near Polo Park, a residence at the University of Manitoba or a private home.
Our Winnipeg 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 and bulky winter gear, which suits families, sports teams and business groups heading downtown or to the University of Manitoba.
From private sedans to group vans. One fixed price per vehicle, whatever your party size.
