Sailingpeace Posted May 6, 2009 #4 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Hello , bonjour from Montreal ! The airport web site ( Aéroports de Montreal)where you can find info is : http://www.admtl.com/passager/acces_et_stationnement/home.aspx There is a shuttle to downtown ($15.00 one way; $25.00 return and rates for seniors) , there are also fixed rates towards downtown ;for taxis($38) and limos ($49.50). The web site mentions : "L’Aérobus stops at the Montréal Central Bus Station located at 505 de Maisonneuve Blvd. E. A minibus service at no additional charge is also available from the Montréal Central Bus Station to several major downtown hotels (reservation and information: 514-631-1856)." Since you are 4 people, I would limo direct to the hotel. Across the street from your hotel is Place Ville Marie with a nice underground shopping center. ( Montreal has an underground city) From your hotel to the port it is a very short ride and a taxi ( there are some right at your hotel) is the best way . Port is in Old Montreal , a beautiful area where you might enjoy spending some time walking around ( without luggage !). For some info on : Old Montréal ;http://www.vieux.montreal.qc.ca/eng/accueila.htm and on Montréal underground city : http://www.aviewoncities.com/montreal/reso.htm welcome to my beautiful city and have a wonderful cruise !

Ephraim Posted May 8, 2009 #5 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Taxis and "Limos" are fixed price from the airport to downtown Montreal. These aren't the regular Limosines, stretched longer than any car should be, This is more luxurious than a taxi. And that rate applies ONLY from the airport to downtown Montreal. The price is government regulated (as is the zone). Here are the taxi rates for Montreal.... So $3.30 when you get into the taxi, $1.60 per km and $0.60 per minute of waiting. $38.00 for anywhere in the downtown zone. Almost all taxis in Montreal are sedans, which might be a tight fit.
