BEST WAY DOWNTOWN:
Bus
BASICS
The airport is nine miles (15 km) west of downtown Vancouver. The airport's Web site includes connection information for cruise ship passengers, plus:
TAXI
Taxi fare to downtown Vancouver will be about $25 Canadian ($18.50). The trip takes about 30 minutes.
BUS
Airporter operates a bus service to downtown hotels, cruise ship terminals and the bus depot. The bus leaves from outside the domestic and international arrivals area every 15 to 30 minutes from 6:30 A.M. to midnight. The fare is $9 Canadian ($6) and the time to downtown will be about 30 minutes.
LIMOUSINE
Limojet Gold Express operates a limousine service to the downtown area. Check at the ground transportation desk to book a limousine to your hotel. The fare is around $35 Canadian ($23), so only a little more than a taxi but a much nicer ride.
RENTAL CAR
Avis, Budget, Hertz, Thrifty, and National are at the airport. Some have offices downtown. Vancouver is a good place to rent a car for a sightseeing tour of the beautiful surrounding scenery.
