Airport taxi
Overview of airport pick-up and taxi services in Canada
1、 Service types and characteristics
Regular taxi
Instant: Passengers can queue up in designated areas at the airport for boarding, but it should be noted that Canada does not offer a stop and go service and requires prior confirmation of the boarding point.
Cost range: Taking Montreal as an example, the cost of transportation from the city center to the airport is approximately 50-60 Canadian dollars (including fuel and parking fees).
Private airport pick-up service
Customization: We offer a variety of car models (economy 5-seater to luxury 12 seater), support Chinese driver guidance services, and are suitable for family or group travel.
Value added services: Additional fees can be paid to choose "sign up pick-up" (about 100 RMB/time) or assist with check-in.
Airport Bus
Economic choice: For example, the one-way ticket price of Montreal 747 shuttle bus is CAD 10, including a 24-hour public transportation pass, which is suitable for budget limited passengers
.
2、 Fees and Additional Terms
Project Description
The free waiting time for airport pick-up service is usually 90 minutes (calculated from the time of flight landing), with a charge of CAD 10/30 minutes for exceeding the time limit.
The night service fee is from 22:00 to 08:00 the next day, and an additional fee of 100-200 CAD per vehicle is required (depending on the time period).
If the cost exceeds the agreed mileage, the price difference will be compensated at 30 RMB/kilometer or local currency standard.
3、 Booking and Usage Process
Advance reservation
Please contact customer service at least 24 hours in advance to provide the flight number, luggage quantity, and pick-up time, and confirm the vehicle model and price.
Some platforms (such as Mafengwo) support secondary confirmation to avoid the risk of temporary scheduling failure.
Driver docking
After the flight lands, the driver will adjust the pick-up time dynamically or arrange a meeting place through phone/text message.
If the flight is delayed for more than 2 hours, please proactively contact customer service to coordinate with the driver for rescheduling or refund.
4、 Precautions
Cost transparency
Confirm if the quotation includes tips, fuel costs, and parking fees to avoid hidden expenses.
The payment methods are mainly offline cash/card swiping, and some platforms support online prepayment.
Security verification
Require drivers to present pick-up order information or license plate number to prevent "black cars" from impersonating.
Priority should be given to selecting service providers marked with "strict selection of company leaders" and "24-hour customer service" to reduce communication risks.
5、 Recommended alternative solutions
Shared carpooling: Some cities offer carpooling services, which are about 30% -50% cheaper than private cars.
Car rental and self driving: There are car rental counters (such as Hertz and Avis) at the airport, suitable for long-term stays or independent travelers.
Note: The above information is based on the terms and conditions of mainstream airport pick-up service providers in Canada. It is recommended to confirm the details through the platform customer service before traveling.
