Transportation From Airport to Hotel

Via Bus. The cheapest way from airport to hotel is via public bus.

  • Take bus route "424 AIRPORT STN" from Vancouver International Airport Level 1 to Airport Station Bay 4.
  • Then get on bus route "098 BURRARD STN B-LINE" from Airport Station Bay 1 to Northbound Seymour St at W Georgia St.
  • Finally take bus route "253 CAULFEILD" from Westbound W Georgia St at Seymour St to Westbound W Georgia St at Cardero St.
The total trip takes about 40 min. The bus runs frequently (about every 8 minutes during peak hours). The fare is 3.25 CAD from start of service to 18:30 weekdays, or 2.25 CAD after 18:30 and on weekends - keep hold of your transfer ticket, as it is good for 90 minutes of travel on any public transit, from time of purchase. Drivers take exact Canadian fare only; bills are accepted, but change is not given. And there is nowhere to get change once you have left the arrivals terminal, so get change first!

Via Airporter/Taxi. If you don't mind spending the extra money, more convenient is the YVR Airporter (1-800-668-3141) which costs 13 CAD one way or 20 CAD return, and drops off at major hotels downtown. The airporter service runs only 8:00-22:00. The public transit option described above runs later than the airporter. A taxi ride downtown will cost about 25 CAD. All taxis that serve the airport are required to accept credit cards. The taxi ride is usually under 30 min. [WikiTravel]

Via Car. Consult Google Maps.
