About this tour
When Mia from our BugBitten team arrived at Quebec City airport, this private transfer got her from YQB to downtown without the usual airport-transfer palaver. It's a locally owned outfit running clean vehicles that fit up to nine passengers, with bilingual drivers who know the city cold. You get picked up at arrivals with a nameplate, driven straight to your hotel in the city limits, and left to settle in. Journey runs anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes depending on where you're headed.
Highlights
- Driver waiting with your name sign — no hunting around arrivals
- Bilingual French-English speakers who navigate Quebec confidently
- Vehicles hold up to 9 passengers — works for solo travellers or small groups
- 60 minutes of free waiting time if your flight's delayed
- Locally owned — money stays in Quebec
- Professional drivers in proper dark suits, not casual vibes
- Covers city limits one-way, straightforward pricing
What to expect
You'll land at YQB and head straight to arrivals. Your driver is already there with a sign bearing your name — no scanning through crowds of randoms holding iPads. They'll have a tidy, air-conditioned vehicle ready, and the trip into downtown Quebec City is quick, typically between 5 and 30 minutes depending on traffic and which end of the city your hotel sits. The driver knows the streets well, so there's none of that sat-nav fumbling or wrong-turn nonsense. Mia found the whole thing efficient and calm — exactly what you want after a flight.
The vibe is professional without being stiff. Your driver speaks both French and English, so if you're keen to chat about where to eat or what to see, they've got local intel. If you're exhausted and want quiet, that works too. One heads-up: the 60-minute free wait only covers the initial pickup window. If you're more than an hour late, there'll be extra charges, so keep the driver in the loop if your flight's running behind.

Good to know
This is a stress-free way to land and get to your hotel without haggling with taxi queues or navigating public transport with luggage. It's especially handy if you're travelling with a group (up to nine), and the bilingual drivers mean language isn't a barrier. Small children and prams are fine. The 60-minute grace period is fair if flights are delayed.
Any waiting past the first hour will cost extra, so don't dawdle. Tips aren't included in the price. Excess luggage might incur charges depending on what you're hauling. The service covers city limits — if your accommodation is way out, you might be outside the zone. One-way only, so you'll need to sort your own way back to the airport.
Suits up to 9 passengers. Drivers speak French and English. Included: nameplate pickup, vehicle, one-way transfer within city limits. Not included: gratuities, charges for extra waiting beyond 60 minutes, excess luggage fees. No specific peak times noted, though airport mornings and evenings will obviously be busier. Bring your booking reference to confirm your driver.
