Quebec City Airport to Quebec Cruise Port transfer: the easiest way to get there
When you land at Quebec City Airport, the last thing you want is to work out how to get from the airport to Quebec Cruise Port. 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 Quebec City Airport to Quebec Cruise Port 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 Quebec City Airport to Quebec Cruise Port 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 Cruise Port 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 International Airport (YQB) is about 15 km west of the old city and about 230 km from Tadoussac, around three and a half hours by car including the short ferry crossing at the mouth of the Saguenay.
Airports feel bigger after a long flight, and Quebec City 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 Quebec City Airport to Quebec Cruise Port transfer.
Searches for "YQB to Quebec Cruise Port" 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 Quebec Cruise Port.
Quebec City Airport to Quebec Cruise Port at a glance
Service: private transfer, your own vehicle from Quebec City Airport to Quebec Cruise Port, door to door. Vehicles: Sedan (1–3 passengers), Minivan (1–7 passengers) and Sprinter (8–13 passengers) - Mercedes, Volkswagen, Ford Transit and Peugeot Traveller models, air-conditioned, with room for luggage. Price: fixed for the whole vehicle and agreed on WhatsApp before you travel, tolls and waiting included, nothing to pay the driver on the day. Meeting: at Quebec City Airport, at the point named in your confirmation, with flight tracking so a delay moves the pickup. Booking: the form on this page or a WhatsApp message; confirmation in writing within minutes, in Arabic or English.
Taxi or private transfer from Quebec City Airport to Quebec Cruise Port?
An airport taxi from Quebec City Airport to Quebec Cruise Port 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 Quebec Cruise Port per person - and by far the easiest. Public transport to Quebec Cruise Port 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 Cruise Port, 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 Quebec Cruise Port: 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 Quebec Cruise Port 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 Quebec Cruise Port 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 Quebec Cruise Port
The cruise terminal in the Old Port of Quebec is about 20 km east of Quebec City Airport, at the foot of Old Quebec. Quebec's cruise ships dock in the Old Port, right below the walls and the Chateau Frontenac, with the Ross-Gaudreault Cruise Terminal steps from Old Quebec.

From the pier, you can walk to Place Royale, Petit Champlain and the funicular in minutes. The historic Lower Town lanes, the Old Port Market and ferry crossings to Levis are also close, so many passengers spend a day or two here before or after the cruise.

Give us your ship name and berth or terminal; on arrival days several ships may dock at once, so confirm the meeting point with your driver, and allow extra time to clear boarding.
Meeting your driver at Quebec City Airport
Your confirmation message on WhatsApp includes the meeting arrangement for Quebec City Airport - it varies by airport, between an indoor meeting point, a specific exit and a driver with a sign at the arrivals door - along with your driver's name and number. With flight tracking, your driver is there the minute you land, and the waiting time is included in the fixed price.
Up to 60 minutes of waiting is included (90 minutes at some airports), and if you are delayed at baggage or passport control a quick WhatsApp message keeps your driver 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 Quebec Cruise Port 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.
Child seats and booster seats are available on request - say the ages of the children when you book and we bring the right ones. Extra-large luggage, sports equipment and wheelchairs are all fine; just mention them so the right vehicle is sent.
Every vehicle is checked and cleaned between journeys, and the drivers know the hotels of Quebec Cruise Port and their side streets, so you are delivered to the right gate, not just the main road.
Who books the Quebec Cruise Port transfer
Who uses a private transfer from Quebec City Airport to Quebec Cruise Port? 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.
Many guests add a second leg later in the trip: a day out from Quebec Cruise Port, an onward transfer or the return to Quebec City Airport. It is all handled in the chat you already have open.
How to book your Quebec Cruise Port transfer
Booking is simple: fill in the form on this page or message us on WhatsApp with your flight number, the date, the number of passengers and your hotel in Quebec Cruise Port. A member of our team replies within minutes to confirm the price and the meeting point. Payment is arranged on WhatsApp as well, in whichever way suits you, and your confirmation is written down so nothing is left to memory.
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.
If you are two households or a group, say how many bags as well as how many people; luggage decides the vehicle more often than passengers do.
Quebec Cruise Port to Quebec City Airport: the return transfer
Heading back to Quebec City Airport at the end of the stay is just as easy - tell us the flight time and the hotel, and a driver is at the door with time to spare. Many travellers also use the desk for a day trip or an onward transfer from Quebec Cruise Port; everything is arranged in the same WhatsApp chat.
The Quebec Cruise Port 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 Quebec Cruise Port transfers
Haqqi Tours is a travel company, not a taxi app: the people who confirm your Quebec City Airport to Quebec Cruise Port 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.
Pickup options and waiting time
When you book on WhatsApp, you choose one of two pickup options for your arrival:
- Flight tracking: your driver is at arrivals the minute your flight lands and waits for up to 60 minutes. If your flight lands at 2:00 pm, the driver is there at 2:00 pm.
- Fixed time (no tracking): your driver arrives at a time you choose and waits for up to 60 minutes from that time. Send us your flight number and we check its real landing times over the past 10 days to recommend the best pickup time.
At most airports the included waiting time is 60 minutes; at some it is 90 minutes. We confirm the exact waiting time for your airport when you book with us on WhatsApp. After that, the driver cannot wait longer: the fixed price is based on one hour of airport parking and the driver's time, and with more than 30 transfers a day, every booking is scheduled back to back.
With flight tracking, normal delays are covered. If your flight is delayed by more than 5 hours, we cannot guarantee a new pickup at the last minute, because the new arrival time is uncertain and other transfers are already scheduled. Message us as soon as the delay is announced: we always do our best to rearrange, but it depends on the number of bookings that day. With a fixed-time pickup, the time slot is reserved for you and cannot be changed on the day, even if your flight is delayed or something unexpected happens.
Two hours before your flight lands, we send you your driver's name and phone number on WhatsApp. If you are still in the air, the message will be waiting for you as soon as you switch on your phone. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
