Arriving at the airport
After landing, follow the signs for arrivals and collect your luggage before moving into the public area. Keep your accommodation address ready, either on your phone or written down, as it will help with a taxi, private transfer or directions. Airport signage and staff can guide you towards the appropriate exit and ground transport area. Check current airport instructions if your flight arrives late or you need accessibility support.
Getting into town
A private transfer offers a pre-arranged pickup and direct travel to your accommodation. It can be useful if you have heavy luggage, are travelling with children or prefer to avoid making connections. Confirm the pickup instructions and provide the full address before travelling.
Taxis are available for direct journeys into Montreal and nearby areas. Ask where to join the official taxi queue and confirm the accepted payment methods before setting off. Public transport can be a practical choice for travellers who are comfortable checking connections and walking between stops. Review current routes, service notices and payment guidance before leaving the airport.
Hire cars suit travellers planning to visit places outside the city or continue their trip independently. Compare collection arrangements, insurance terms and fuel rules, and check where the vehicle must be returned. Local road conditions can change, particularly during winter, so allow flexibility when planning your route.
Popular transfers from the airport
No specific towns are listed in the popular routes for this page. For a transfer beyond Montreal, enter the complete destination address when booking and check whether the service covers that area. This is especially useful for accommodation outside the central area, where a city-centre destination may not be precise enough.
Flying home
For your return journey, allow enough time to reach the airport, return a hire car if needed and complete check-in and security. Leave earlier if traffic, road conditions, luggage or a connection could slow you down. Check your airline and the airport for current check-in guidance, baggage rules and any changes to access arrangements before setting out.
