A Vancouver airport shuttle is a convenient way to get from the terminal to your hotel, without the hassle of finding your way around in a town that isn't home. Even if you've been to the city on many previous vacations, it's still nice to leave the driving to someone else. You can sit back and enjoy the ride and not have to fumble with reading directions or listening to the GPS. The driver will take care of getting you to the front door of the hotel with no worries on your part.

Since 2007, the Vancouver International Airport, YVR, has been undergoing upgrades, making it one of the most modern—and most traveled—in Canada. The terminals have been renovated, adding more shopping and restaurants, even adding as aquarium to help passengers relax. The Vancouver airport transportation network also has been updated. It's now easier to get from YVR to the hotels and all that the southern British Columbia has to offer.

One of the major benefits of staying at one of the airport hotels is easy access to a YVR airport shuttle. Once you're flight has arrived and you've gathered your luggage, it's quite easy to find the way to your chosen accommodations. Direct-dial phones to help arrange Vancouver airport transport are easy to find throughout the international terminal as well as the domestic terminal. All you have to do is pick up the phone and let the hotel know you've arrived. Phones are also available in the designated Vancouver airport shuttle pick-up area if you need to get in touch with the hotel at this point.

There are two different places where the YVR airport shuttle buses pick up passengers. Both of these areas are easy to find—all you have to do is look for the green canopy. One is located on the second level, right in the arrivals area of the International Terminal Building. If you're arriving on a flight from another destination in Canada, you'll need the pick-up location in the domestic terminal building. This green canopy is also located in the arrivals area, but this time it's on the first level. This Vancouver airport shuttle service brings passengers to hotels of various price points, from luxury hotels to well-equipped economy brands.

While hotels are a good place to look for an YVR airport shuttle, they're not the only option. Taxis and limos are available 24 hours a day to take passengers from the terminal to wherever they want to go in Vancouver and beyond. No matter the time of day, you'll be able to find a ride. More than 400 taxis are in regular service, each charging a metered fare based on how long the ride is and the distance. The curbside staff can help you hail a taxi or call the limousine company. If you need wheelchair-accessible Vancouver airport transportation, the curbside staff will ensure you get the right ride.

Beyond the shuttles and taxis, you could also look car rentals and public transportation. A high-speed rail line was added with the renovations in anticipation of the Winter Olympics. Within minutes, you'll find yourself in downtown Vancouver or the city of Richmond. The station is easy to find, right between the international and domestic terminals.
