Vancouver Pier to Airport... Transfer or Cab?

[SpeakerOfMind]

How much is a cab from the pier in Vancouver to the Airport? Transfers are $25 pp... but I know in some places it makes sense to "cab" it. Any hints?

[West Coast]

A cab will run around CA$30, plus tip, from YVR to any d/t hotel or Canada Place.

 

For more detailed information on independant transfer services, check out the Vancouver Airport (YVR) website:

We used their limo service. Limo's should be available at the port as this is what Vancouver uses for regular taxi's sometimes. The cost was only around $30 for the ride per cab.

There just was a cab cost increase so expect about $35++ca for a cab airport/port. Use a credit card for the best exchange, better option than ship transfers. :)

Have just spoken to the guys at Yellow Cab.....they say anything from $27 to $30 dollars Canadian from VYR to the Cruise Terminal......if there is a big big traffic jam higher.On the way from Terminal to Airport there is repair to a ramp till at least mid May so taxis have to enter the terminal long route so that will cost $35.........then price will go back down.You have to state that you wont a 'Yellow Cab' at YVR....and there are some(it happened to me once) that take you round the bush and back but Yellow Cab are great....which has the largest fleet...and Black Top Cabs .......being a local gal I know,they have the lowest rates....and know the city and the short cuts...all in Canadian Dollars....you can pay by Credit Card if you wish. :)

Question is...how much of a rush are you to line up at security and immigration at the airport.

If you're making a fashion statement take a limo. Take a taxi as there are loads at the pier.

If you dock at Ballantyne Pier...yes take a cab.

If you dock at Canada Place and don't leave til late and want to spend some time in downtown, why not secure your bags in a locker or at a hotel . Every half hour or so the "YVR" Green airport bus dooes a circuitous route to the d'twn hotels. One way tickets are considerably less than taxis. For more info see the link below:

The airport bus provides service from the Pan Pacific Hotel located right at Canada Place. Hope this helps, and

 

Ciao for now!!!
