Vancouver sits at the other end of the country and at the other end of a five-hour flight, which makes ground transportation there something Toronto clients arrange in advance rather than on arrival.
How our coverage works
We operate our own chauffeured fleet in Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area. Vancouver is served through our vetted worldwide chauffeur partner network of licensed local operators, arranged and coordinated by us on a single booking. We are direct about this because the difference matters when you are deciding who to trust with an itinerary.
What clients usually need
- Transfers at Vancouver International (YVR), which sits close to the city.
- Downtown, Yaletown and business district transport.
- Trips to Whistler along the Sea to Sky Highway.
- Cruise season transfers to and from the Canada Place terminal.
The Whistler run
The Sea to Sky Highway between Vancouver and Whistler is a long mountain drive and one of the more scenic roads in the country. It also demands a driver who knows it, particularly in winter when conditions change with elevation. This is not a route to improvise with an unfamiliar operator.
Cruise season
Vancouver is a major departure point for Alaska sailings, and on a turnaround day several thousand passengers arrive and depart within a few hours. Transfers between YVR and Canada Place on those days need to be booked ahead; arranging on arrival with luggage and a sailing time is not a position to be in.
The time difference
Vancouver is three hours behind Toronto. A morning meeting on the west coast is early afternoon at home, which affects both scheduling and how tired you will be on arrival. We factor the actual local time into pickups rather than the one on your phone.
