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

Getting from Quebec City Airport to Montreal should be the easy part of the journey. With a private transfer it is: you tell us your flight number and your hotel, we confirm the price of the Quebec City Airport to Montreal transfer on WhatsApp, and on the day a driver meets you at the arrivals hall and takes you straight to the door. No taxi rank, no ticket machines, no changing between buses with suitcases.

This page covers everything travellers ask about the Quebec City Airport to Montreal 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 Montreal is like, what to see there and where to stay, where you meet your driver at Quebec City Airport, which vehicles we use and how the booking works.

Arriving at Quebec City Airport (YQB)

Quebec City Jean Lesage International Airport (YQB) lies about 17 km west of the city centre in the Sainte-Foy borough, roughly 20 km from Old Quebec and the Old Port.

A little knowledge of Quebec City Airport makes the arrival calmer. Note which terminal or hall your flight uses, keep your phone charged for the WhatsApp thread, and expect the driver to be exactly where the confirmation said - by the arrivals exit with a name board, or at the airport's designated meeting point. From there it is a short walk to the car and the Quebec City Airport to Montreal drive begins.

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

Taxi or private transfer from Quebec City Airport to Montreal?

An airport taxi from Quebec City Airport to Montreal means finding the official rank, waiting your turn, and paying whatever the meter shows at the end - more at night, more in traffic, and sometimes more if the driver takes the long way. A private transfer from Haqqi Tours replaces all of that with one agreed price for the whole car, confirmed in writing on WhatsApp before you fly.

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 Quebec City Airport to Montreal per person - and by far the easiest. Public transport to Montreal 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 Montreal, 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 Quebec City Airport to Montreal: is there a bus, train or metro?

Public transport from Quebec City Airport runs mainly into Quebec City itself: rTC bus route 80 reaches downtown from the airport for a small fare, and taxis run to the centre; a private car is simpler with luggage, for Old Quebec's steep streets in winter, and for Montmorency Falls, Ile d'Orleans, Mont-Sainte-Anne, Charlevoix and Tadoussac, which are hard to reach by public transport. Reaching Montreal from there means a further connection with your luggage, which is where a door-to-door car saves the most time and effort.

If you are weighing the Quebec City Airport to Montreal options, think about the last kilometre. Trains and buses stop at stations; hotels are somewhere else. With a private transfer the driver takes the route that ends at your door, helps with the bags, and the price agreed on WhatsApp does not change if the trains are on strike or the road is slow.

About Montreal

Montreal, Quebec's largest city, is about 250 km south-west of Quebec City Airport. Montreal is the largest French-speaking city in North America, on an island in the St. Lawrence River, about two and a half to three hours from Quebec City. Old Montreal has cobbled streets, the Notre-Dame Basilica and the Old Port, while downtown is centred on Rue Sainte-Catherine, McGill University and the Underground City. Mount Royal Park rises above the centre, the Plateau and Mile End are known for cafes, murals and bakeries, and Jean-Talon Market sells local produce. Montreal-Trudeau Airport (YUL) lies on the west side of the island, and the city is the usual next stop after Quebec.

Things to do in Montreal

Once you have checked in, Montreal is worth exploring: Old Montreal and Notre-Dame Basilica, Mount Royal Park, Underground City, Jean-Talon Market and Plateau and Mile End. 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.

Quebec City itself is within reach for a day: Montmorency Falls, Ile d'Orleans and Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupre Basilica - the same WhatsApp desk arranges the car there and back.

Where to stay in Montreal

Where you stay in Montreal makes no difference to the price of the transfer, which is fixed for the whole vehicle. The places most travellers choose: Old Montreal, Downtown, Plateau Mont-Royal and Montreal-Trudeau Airport area - and any other address is fine too.

Traffic into Montreal is heavy at weekday rush hours and bridge works are common; give your hotel address, and tell us if you need Montreal-Trudeau Airport, which lies about 20 km from downtown.

Meeting your driver at Quebec City Airport

Every airport is laid out differently, and Quebec City 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 Quebec City Airport to Montreal 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 Quebec City Airport.

Our vehicles for the Montreal 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.

Families get child seats on request, and groups with a lot of luggage are matched to a vehicle with room to spare. Tell us on WhatsApp what you are bringing and we take care of the rest.

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 Montreal transfer

Who uses a private transfer from Quebec City Airport to Montreal? Couples who would rather not start a holiday in a taxi queue; families who need child seats and space for a pushchair; groups of six to thirteen who want to arrive together in one vehicle; business travellers with a meeting the same day; and travellers landing at night, when public transport is thin and a fixed price is worth more than ever. Every one of them books the same way - a WhatsApp message - and gets the same written confirmation.

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

How to book your Montreal transfer

To book the Quebec City Airport to Montreal transfer, send us your flight details, your date, how many are travelling and where you are staying in Montreal - through the form here or straight on WhatsApp. We confirm the fixed price and the meeting arrangement in writing within minutes, and the same chat stays open for any change of plan before or during your trip.

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 Quebec City Airport

French is the official language although English is common at hotels and tourist sites; give your flight number and hotel name, note that Old Quebec has steep, narrow streets and some hotels are reached only from the nearest access street, and allow extra time in snow.

Keep your phone charged and roaming or Wi-Fi on for the WhatsApp thread; the driver's number is in your confirmation and a message on landing at Quebec City Airport is the quickest way to say you are through.

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 Quebec City Airport.

Montreal to Quebec City Airport: the return transfer

The same service runs the other way. For a Montreal to Quebec City Airport transfer we collect you from your hotel at an agreed time, with a comfortable margin for check-in and security at Quebec City Airport, and the driver helps with the luggage at both ends. Book both directions together and the desk keeps them on one confirmation.

The Montreal to Quebec City 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 Montreal transfers

What guests tell us they value about the Montreal transfer is the absence of surprises. The price they were quoted is the price they pay. The driver is where the confirmation said. The car is clean and the right size. And the WhatsApp desk that made the booking is still there, in Arabic and English, for the whole trip - for the return, a day out, or a question about Montreal at any hour.
