Getting Around
Car: Many major car rental companies have desks at YVR, so hiring and returning your rental car is easy and convenient. Driving between downtown and the airport is straight-forward and well sign-posted.
Taxi: In addition to providing you with a safe and reliable ride, Vancouver taxi companies ensure all drivers receive extensive training through the award-winning TaxiHost training program. All licensed taxis are allowed to drop-off passengers at YVR, and they will use the meter to determine the fare.
If you're taking a taxi from the airport to your hotel after arriving at YVR, use one of the taxi stands located on Level 2. Taxis operating from the airport are licensed, and will use a zoned fare rate that will depend on your destination.
Ride Hailing: Lyft and Uber are both authorized providers of ride hailing services at YVR. For more information on where to find these options see the YVR website.
Public Transit: The SkyTrain's Canada Line provides rapid rail service linking YVR to downtown Vancouver and parts of Richmond. Trains leave the airport station approximately every seven minutes during most times of the day. There are 16 stops along the line, with downtown Vancouver stops including Yaletown, Vancouver City Centre and Waterfront—the terminus for the line.
Parking: Please see the VCC website for information on Parking at the VCC. Costs will vary depending on when the purchase is made.
