Vancouver Airport (YVR) Chauffeur Service
Vancouver International Airport (YVR) handled 26.4 million passengers in 2023 (Vancouver Airport Authority). The airport is 9 miles from downtown via Arthur Laing Bridge. Your driver monitors your flight in real time — if your Air Canada flight from Toronto or your Cathay Pacific arrival from Hong Kong lands early or late, your chauffeur adjusts accordingly. We hold 45 minutes on international arrivals at no charge.
For YVR pickups, book at least 24 hours out. The international terminal handles significant Asia-Pacific traffic, and on-demand options often fail during peak arrival windows (7–10 AM and 3–7 PM). A pre-booked chauffeur is the only reliable option.
| Route | Distance | Off-Peak | Rush Hour | Sedan Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| YVR → Downtown | 9 mi | 25 min | 40–55 min | from $120+ |
| YVR → Coal Harbour | 10 mi | 28 min | 45–60 min | from $120+ |
| YVR → North Vancouver | 15 mi | 30 min | 50–65 min | from $120+ |
| YVR → Burnaby | 11 mi | 25 min | 40–55 min | from $120+ |
| YVR → Whistler | 78 mi (Hwy 99) | 90 min | 105–120 min | from $295 |
