Vancouver Airport (YVR) to Whistler

BY Whistler Shuttle

Vehicle

Service Information

Our Whistler Shuttle service from Vancouver International Airport (YVR) is scheduled around your flight arrival rather than our bus. We meet clients as early as 7:30am (8:00am from Spring to Fall) and as late as 11:00pm in Winter or 8:00pm from Spring to Fall. This is not your average shuttle service! Included in our industry leading service is a scenic tour of the beautiful Sea to Sky Corridor: you'll see historic Stanley Park, the incredible Howe Sound, Shannon Falls and many other incredible sights on your journey to Whistler. Our drivers are Whistler residents and are happy to share the beauty and history of our home as they transport you to your destination.

Frequent Flexible Departures

The Whistler Shuttle is the best way to get from Vancouver Airport to Whistler. We schedule your trip entirely around your flight arrival time and offer a maximum wait time guarantee. We’re on the clock as soon as you check-in with our airport representative and if we don’t get you moving to Whistler on time then your ride is free! Check out our Wait Time Guarantee section for more details.

Typically, guests are on the road within 45 minutes of checking in with our rep.

No More Flight Delay Worries!

With our flexible departures, it's almost impossible to miss the shuttle. If you're flight is delayed or you've missed a transfer, that's not a problem, we monitor flights throughout the day and constantly adjust our schedule to ensure that you are on the road as soon as possible. The shuttle meets flights arriving as late as 11:00pm in winter and 8:00pm in spring to fall. If your flight arrives after these times, we'll transfer you to the first shuttle the next morning.

Extensive Dropoff Options

We offer a wide selection of hotel and condo dropoff locations in the base price of the Whistler Shuttle. Not staying at a major Whistler hotel or condo complex? Don't worry, we can drop you at any address in Whistler for an additional charge.

Condo Key Pickup and Check-In Option

Many Whistler rental accommodations require off-site check-in and key pickup. The Whistler Shuttle offers a key pickup option to make your arrival at Whistler quick and easy. We’ll take you to your check-in point, then drop you at your final destination (Additional charges apply).

We Know Whistler

You can’t beat local knowledge.  The Whistler Shuttle moves thousands of people per year and has moved tens of thousands of people between Vancouver and Whistler over the past 15 years.

Comfortable Buses & Vans

We won’t guarantee what kind of vehicle you will ride in, but we do guarantee that you will get to Whistler quickly and comfortably. The Whistler Shuttle service runs on a combination of dedicated buses, vans, and scheduled buses in order to ensure that you get away from Whistler quickly. Mixing up the vehicle types is the way that we are able to offer this service in an economical manner.

Do I need to tip the driver?

Bookings for bus and shuttle services do not include gratuity. 15% gratuity is standard in North America. Please do consider tipping for good service.

For private charter services, gratuity is paid at the time of booking. We choose our partners very carefully and incidents of poor service are extremely rare. However, if an incident of poor service were to occur then we will gladly issue a gratuity refund and take up the matter with our transportation partner

Is my pet allowed to travel with me?

No, on our shared transfers pets are not allowed to travel. This excludes service dogs who have been trained to carry out specific work. Please contact us first if you wish to travel with an animal and we will be able to advise on the options available.

What if I need to change my booking?

Contact us if you need to make changes to your booking. Changes made within 72 hours of travel are subject to availability. Additional fees may apply to adding passengers, sports equipment and other services.

Can I book a one-way trip only?

Yes, if you are using our online booking system, select 'One Way' and you will not be asked for your return trip date.

Can I pay cash?

No. We only accept payment by credit card (Visa, Mastercard or Amex). Full payment is required to secure your reservation at the time of booking.

Do I have to book in advance?

We can often find something for you within that time but our services can sell out - especially during busy periods (school breaks, holidays, game days, etc), so book early to avoid disappointment. If you are booking within 72 hours of travel always call us to check availability before you book - payment does not guarantee availability.

Is my booking guaranteed once I have made payment?

No, your booking is not guaranteed until you receive your confirmation email. This is a separate email from your payment receipt. This is because some bookings have special requests that must be manually reviewed before the booking can be confirmed.

What happens if you do not have any seats/vehicles available for the trip I have booked?

We will always strive to honour every booking made with us. On the rare occasion that we can find no availability however, this is not possible. Rest assured that if we are not able to confirm your trip then you will be refunded in full - though this may take 3 - 5 working days to be processed by the bank.

Why haven't I received my confirmation email yet?

Confirmations are typically emailed within 24 hours of your transaction. If you do not receive your confirmation email within 24 hours, please check your email spam folder. If you still need help, please contact us.
