Montreal Airport to Quebec City

Montreal Airport to Quebec City transfer: the easiest way to get there

When you land at Montreal Airport, the last thing you want is to work out how to get from the airport to Quebec City. A private airport transfer takes the question away: a Haqqi Tours driver is at arrivals when you walk out, your vehicle is parked minutes away, and the cost of the Montreal Airport to Quebec City transfer was fixed on WhatsApp before you left home. There is no airport taxi queue, no meter running in traffic and no negotiating a fare in a language you may not speak.

This page covers everything travellers ask about the Montreal Airport to Quebec City route: how far it is and how long it takes, whether an airport taxi, public transport or a private transfer is the better choice, what Quebec City is like, what to see there and where to stay, where you meet your driver at Montreal Airport, which vehicles we use and how the booking works.

Arriving at Montreal Airport (YUL)

Montréal–Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (YUL) is in Dorval on the island of Montreal, about 20 km west of downtown and 22 km from Old Montreal.

Airports feel bigger after a long flight, and Montreal Airport is no exception. That is why your confirmation carries the exact meeting point for this airport, the driver's name and a phone number: when you walk out of arrivals you know where to look. The driver has been following your flight, so a late landing or a slow bag belt changes nothing about your Montreal Airport to Quebec City transfer.

Searches for "YUL to Quebec City" or "YUL airport transfer" land here for a reason: YUL is the airport code for Montreal Airport, and this is the private-car service that connects it with Quebec City.

Taxi or private transfer from Montreal Airport to Quebec City?

Travellers searching for "Montreal Airport to Quebec City taxi cost" usually find a range rather than a number, because taxi fares depend on the meter, the hour and the route. Our private transfer gives you a single fixed price for the whole vehicle, agreed on WhatsApp in advance, so the cost of getting from Montreal Airport to Quebec City is known before you land.

For one traveller with a small bag, a taxi or public transport can be a fair choice. For two or more people, a family with children, or anyone with real luggage, a private transfer is normally the cheapest way to get from Montreal Airport to Quebec City per person - and by far the easiest. Public transport to Quebec City involves changes, tickets and stairs; a private car goes to the hotel door.

There is also the question of trust. Our drivers know the hotels of Quebec City, work on a fixed price, and never take a detour or add a "special fare" at the end. Your booking is confirmed by a real person on a WhatsApp desk that works in Arabic and English, and that same desk is reachable throughout your trip.

Public transport from Montreal Airport to Quebec City: is there a bus, train or metro?

Public transport from Montreal Airport runs mainly into Montreal itself: public buses, including an express line, and shared shuttles link the airport with downtown in roughly 45 to 60 minutes, which suits a light traveller staying near a metro station; a private car is simpler with luggage, children, a late arrival or a stay in the Plateau, Laval or the Laurentians. Reaching Quebec City from there means a further connection with your luggage, which is where a door-to-door car saves the most time and effort.

Many of our guests have tried the public route into Quebec City once and booked the car ever after. The difference is not only speed but effort: no ticket machines in a foreign language, no stairs with suitcases, no working out the last mile to the hotel. A private Montreal Airport to Quebec City transfer starts at the arrivals door and ends at the reception desk, and the fixed price covers the whole vehicle.

About Quebec City

Quebec City, the walled provincial capital on the St. Lawrence River, lies about 260 km north-east of Montreal Airport. Quebec City is the only walled city north of Mexico, and its Old Quebec district is a World Heritage site of stone houses, ramparts and steep stairs. The Château Frontenac towers over the Dufferin Terrace and the river, and lively lanes such as Petit-Champlain lead down to the lower town. The Plains of Abraham offer sweeping parkland, and Montmorency Falls and Île d'Orléans are short drives away. It is the most booked long transfer from Montreal and is popular as a cruise stop, with a winter carnival in February.

Things to do in Quebec City

Once you have checked in, Quebec City is worth exploring: Old Quebec ramparts, Château Frontenac and Dufferin Terrace, Petit-Champlain quarter, Plains of Abraham and Montmorency Falls. Your driver can point some of them out on the way in, and the WhatsApp desk can arrange a car for a day out if you want to see more.

Montreal itself is within reach for a day: Montreal Botanical Garden, Underground City and Saint Joseph's Oratory - the same WhatsApp desk arranges the car there and back.

Where to stay in Quebec City

Where you stay in Quebec City makes no difference to the price of the transfer, which is fixed for the whole vehicle. The places most travellers choose: Old Quebec upper town, Petit-Champlain and the port, Saint-Roch and Grande Allée - and any other address is fine too.

Streets in Old Quebec are steep, narrow and often closed to cars; tell the driver your exact hotel so he can drop you at the nearest access point.

Meeting your driver at Montreal Airport

Every airport is laid out differently, and Montreal Airport is no exception: some airports have a fixed meeting point inside the terminal, some have a specific exit where drivers may wait, and at others the driver stands just beyond customs with a sign. Because of that we do not print one rule here. When we confirm your Montreal Airport to Quebec City transfer on WhatsApp, we tell you exactly where your driver will be, with the driver's name and a phone number you can message the moment you land.

Waiting time after landing is included, and if you are delayed at baggage or passport control a quick WhatsApp message keeps everyone informed. On the way back, the driver collects you from the hotel at an agreed time with enough margin for your flight from Montreal Airport.

Our vehicles for the Quebec City transfer

For this route we offer Sedan (1–3 passengers), Minivan (1–7 passengers) and Sprinter (8–13 passengers). The vans are Mercedes, Volkswagen, Ford Transit and Peugeot Traveller models, all recent, air-conditioned and cleaned between journeys, with proper luggage space rather than a crowded boot. Choose the vehicle by how many of you are travelling and how much luggage you bring; the desk will tell you if a larger vehicle would be more comfortable.

All vehicles are insured and driven by professional, licensed drivers who know the Montreal Airport to Quebec City road. Child seats are provided on request, and there is no extra charge for reasonable luggage.

As a guide, the sedan suits one to three people with normal suitcases, the minivan or GMC a family or group of up to seven with their luggage, and the Sprinter larger parties of up to thirteen; there is cold water in the car, phone chargers in most models, and no smoking.

Who books the Quebec City transfer

Families are our most frequent guests on this route: a private car means the children are strapped into proper seats, the pushchair goes in the back, and nobody is counting change for tickets. Groups of friends and extended families take the Sprinter or a minivan so the whole party travels together from Montreal Airport to Quebec City on one fixed price. Older travellers book it for the door-to-door help with the bags, and couples for a calm start to the trip instead of a taxi queue.

The transfer is the first thing most guests book with us and rarely the last; day trips from Quebec City and the ride back to Montreal Airport are arranged in the same conversation.

How to book your Quebec City transfer

Send the form on this page, or write to us on WhatsApp: flight number, date, passengers, luggage and hotel. Within a few minutes a member of our team confirms your Montreal Airport to Quebec City transfer with the price fixed, the vehicle chosen and the meeting point at Montreal Airport explained. Everything is in writing, in English or Arabic.

Changes and cancellations are handled through the same WhatsApp conversation. Because the terms depend on conditions such as how close to the pickup time the request is made, our team will explain exactly what applies to your booking when you ask - always before any payment, never as a surprise afterwards.

Good to know before you land at Montreal Airport

French and English are both used at the airport, and the arrival drive follows Autoroute 20 and 720; share your flight number and the exact hotel address, and for Old Montreal expect narrow one-way streets close to the door.

Note the terminal or hall your flight uses at Montreal Airport, and if you change flights before travel tell the desk - the pickup is tracked against the flight number we hold.

Tell us in advance about anything that affects the vehicle - child seats and ages, a wheelchair, skis, golf bags, a pushchair, extra suitcases - so the right car or van is sent to Montreal Airport.

Quebec City to Montreal Airport: the return transfer

Most guests book the return at the same time: a Quebec City to Montreal Airport transfer from the hotel door, timed to your departure, with the same fixed-price approach. If your plans change during the trip, message the desk and the pickup time is adjusted.

The Quebec City to Montreal Airport leg is the same fixed price, and the driver drops the bags at the right departures entrance so you are not hunting for the terminal yourself.

Why travellers choose Haqqi Tours for Quebec City transfers

Haqqi Tours is a travel company, not a taxi app: the people who confirm your Quebec City transfer are the same people you can message at midnight when the flight is late. The price is fixed and written down, the driver is a licensed professional who does this road regularly, the vehicle is what we said it would be, and if anything on the day is not as promised, one message to the desk puts it right.
