Quebec City Airport to Tadoussac transfer: the easiest way to get there
The best way to get from Quebec City Airport to Tadoussac depends on what you are carrying and who you are travelling with, but for almost everyone arriving with luggage, family or after a long flight, a pre-booked private transfer is the answer. Haqqi Tours' Quebec City Airport to Tadoussac airport transfer is met at arrivals, priced in advance and driven by someone who does this route every week.
This page covers everything travellers ask about the Quebec City Airport to Tadoussac 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 Tadoussac 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.
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 Tadoussac transfer.
Searches for "YQB to Tadoussac" 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 Tadoussac.
Quebec City Airport to Tadoussac at a glance
Service: private transfer, your own vehicle from Quebec City Airport to Tadoussac, 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 Tadoussac?
An airport taxi from Quebec City Airport to Tadoussac 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 Tadoussac per person - and by far the easiest. Public transport to Tadoussac 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 Tadoussac, 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 Tadoussac: 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 Tadoussac 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 Tadoussac 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 Quebec City Airport to Tadoussac transfer starts at the arrivals door and ends at the reception desk, and the fixed price covers the whole vehicle.
About Tadoussac
Tadoussac, the village at the mouth of the Saguenay River, is about 235 km north-east of Quebec City Airport. Tadoussac is a small village where the Saguenay fjord meets the St. Lawrence, and it is North America's best-known base for whale watching. From May to October boats leave the harbour for the Saguenay-St. Lawrence Marine Park to see belugas, minke whales, and occasionally blue and fin whales. The village has the oldest wooden chapel in North America, dating from 1747, a fur-trade museum, sand dunes at Pointe-Noire and small inns along the waterfront. It is reached by the short free ferry across the Saguenay, and it is a long but rewarding excursion or overnight stay from Quebec City.
Things to do in Tadoussac
The reasons most visitors come to Tadoussac: whale watching, Saguenay fjord, oldest wooden chapel in North America, Pointe-Noire dunes and free ferry across the Saguenay. Arriving by private transfer means you start on them rested, with the luggage already at the hotel.
Quebec City itself is within reach for a day: the Citadelle and city walls, Plains of Abraham and Notre-Dame Basilica-Cathedral - the same WhatsApp desk arranges the car there and back.
Where to stay in Tadoussac
Where visitors stay in Tadoussac: Tadoussac village, Baie-Sainte-Catherine, Les Bergeronnes and Sacre-Coeur. Our Quebec City Airport to Tadoussac transfer goes to any hotel, apartment or private address there - send the hotel name and, if you have it, a map pin on WhatsApp, and the driver goes straight to the right door.
The ferry runs continuously but queues in summer, so allow extra time; whale-watching cruises need advance booking, and this route is best as an overnight rather than a same-day return.
Meeting your driver at Quebec City Airport
Where you meet your driver depends on Quebec City Airport: a set meeting point inside arrivals, a designated exit, or a name board held just after customs. Rather than guess, we send the exact instructions with your WhatsApp confirmation - the meeting place, the driver's name and number, and what to do if you cannot see them. If your flight is delayed, we know: every Quebec City Airport to Tadoussac transfer is flight-tracked and the pickup moves with your real landing time.
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 Tadoussac 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.
The vehicle is chosen before the confirmation, not at the kerb, so there is no surprise at the door of Quebec City Airport: what we agreed on WhatsApp is what is waiting, and if your luggage looks like it needs a bigger vehicle we say so before you pay.
Who books the Tadoussac transfer
The Quebec City Airport to Tadoussac transfer suits anyone who values a plan: honeymooners heading for a hotel with more luggage than they admit, parents travelling with small children, friends sharing a Sprinter, colleagues on a work trip who need an invoice, and grandparents who would rather be met than find their own way. Because the price is per vehicle, the more of you there are the better it compares with taxis and tickets.
The transfer is the first thing most guests book with us and rarely the last; day trips from Tadoussac and the ride back to Quebec City Airport are arranged in the same conversation.

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.
Note the terminal or hall your flight uses at Quebec City Airport, and if you change flights before travel tell the desk - the pickup is tracked against the flight number we hold.
Let us know the driver language you would prefer; it depends on the country, the city and the hour, so we cannot promise it, but we do our best to match it and the WhatsApp desk itself always works in Arabic and English.

Many guests book both directions together for a single confirmation with two times on it; if the return flight changes during the stay, one message moves the pickup to the new time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to what travellers ask us most, before they book.
Where do I meet my driver at Quebec City Airport?
It depends on the airport: some have a fixed meeting point inside arrivals, some a specific exit, and at others the driver waits just beyond customs with a sign carrying your name. We send you the exact meeting place, the driver's name and a phone number with your WhatsApp confirmation, so there is nothing to work out when you land at Quebec City Airport.
How far is Tadoussac from Quebec City Airport, and how long does the transfer take?

Anything I should know about arriving in Tadoussac?
The ferry runs continuously but queues in summer, so allow extra time; whale-watching cruises need advance booking, and this route is best as an overnight rather than a same-day return.
Is a private transfer cheaper than an airport taxi from Quebec City Airport to Tadoussac?
Compare the whole cost, not the starting fare. A taxi from Quebec City Airport to Tadoussac adds the meter in traffic, a night rate and sometimes tolls; the private transfer is one figure agreed in writing before you fly, whatever the traffic does. For anyone not travelling alone with a small bag, that figure is normally the cheaper one.
What is the best way to get from Quebec City Airport to Tadoussac?
With luggage, a family or after a long flight, a pre-booked private transfer is the easiest and most comfortable way: door to door, no queue, no changes. Public transport can work for a solo traveller with a small bag, but it means tickets, transfers and stairs; an airport taxi means the meter. A private car takes you straight to your hotel in Tadoussac.
Is there a bus, train or metro from Quebec City Airport to Tadoussac?
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. For most visitors the private transfer is simpler: it starts at the arrivals door and ends at the hotel, and the fixed price covers the whole vehicle.
What happens if my flight to Quebec City Airport is delayed?
The driver waits. Your Quebec City Airport to Tadoussac booking is tied to your flight number, and our desk watches the real landing time, so a late arrival simply moves the pickup. Normal waiting after landing is included in the fixed price.

If you are unsure, tell us how many passengers and bags you have and we recommend the right one.
Is the transfer private, or shared with other passengers?
Always private. We do not run shared shuttles: the car or van from Quebec City Airport to Tadoussac carries your party only, leaves when you are ready, and goes straight to your address.
Can you provide child seats?
Yes - say the ages of the children when you book and the driver brings the right child seats or boosters at no extra charge. Please mention it in the WhatsApp conversation so the correct vehicle is sent.
Are tolls, parking and waiting time included in the price?
