To rent a limo in Montreal is to hire a vehicle with a professional chauffeur, either by the hour or on a fixed route; you do not drive it yourself. On Elly8.net, hourly service starts at US$110 per hour in a Business Sedan and runs to US$220 per hour in an Executive Sprinter for up to 12, with a 3-hour minimum, and fixed packages cover an evening out, a full day or the drive north to Mont-Tremblant. Stretch limousines, stretch SUVs, party buses, Rolls-Royce and Mercedes-Maybach are quoted in the web booker for your date.
Montreal rewards local knowledge more than most cities. Downtown is compact but full of one-way streets, delivery stops and seasonal roadwork; Old Montreal has cobblestones and almost no curb; and from spring to autumn, festivals and the Grand Prix close whole districts. This guide, from the Elly8.net reservations desk, matches vehicles to trips and gives the timing advice we use every day.

Which vehicle fits which trip
Seat and bag counts are from our fleet page.
Business Sedan (up to 3, 2 bags). The working car: YUL runs, meetings downtown, dinner for two. E-Class, CT6, Continental or similar.
First Class Sedan (up to 3, 2 bags). A Mercedes-Benz S-Class or similar for executives, anniversaries and a polished arrival at a gala.
Business SUV and First Class SUV (up to 6, 6 bags). Families, golf bags, skis, and couples who want room. The First Class SUV is an Escalade, Navigator or similar.
Executive Sprinter (up to 12, 12 bags). Groups, wedding parties, sports teams, congress delegations and the Tremblant ski day with gear inside.
Stretch limousine (up to 8) and stretch SUV limousine (up to 16). The classic choice for proms, bachelor and bachelorette nights and wedding party photos. Long vehicles struggle in Old Montreal and on Plateau side streets, so plan pickups on wider streets.
Party bus (up to 12). Birthdays and concert nights, quoted in the web booker. Larger buses may be available from partners for some dates; ask the desk.
Rolls-Royce and Mercedes-Maybach (2 passengers). Wedding couples and VIP arrivals. Luxury partner vehicles are seven model years old or newer; all others are four or newer.
Neighbourhoods and what they mean for pickups
Downtown and the Golden Square Mile. The hotel and office blocks along Rene-Levesque, Sherbrooke and around McGill College are where most rentals start. Several hotels share entrances with offices or have side-street doors, so the chauffeur confirms the exact door when the pickup is set.
Old Montreal and the Old Port. Cobblestones, narrow lanes and very little curb space around Place d'Armes and the Notre-Dame Basilica. For restaurants here, the desk agrees a corner rather than promising the door, and a sedan or SUV gets closer than a stretch.
The Plateau and Mile End. Busy, residential and short on stopping space. Good for dinners; expect the chauffeur to pull up briefly and circle rather than wait at the curb.
Griffintown and the Lachine Canal. Newer towers, offices and event venues in converted industrial buildings, with easy access from downtown.
Westmount and Outremont. Residential pickups for weddings and family events, usually straightforward.
Saint-Laurent and Dorval. Business parks and airport hotels near YUL; useful for roadshows that end with a flight.
Traffic peaks and seasons to plan around
Weekday rush hours. Mornings into downtown and late afternoons out of it are the slow times, and the approaches from YUL through the Turcot interchange can double the 23-minute clear-road time. Build meeting days around them.
Construction season. Montreal's roadwork season is long. Quebec's official Quebec 511 service lists closures and roadwork; the desk checks it for early departures and big days.
Winter. In Quebec, winter tires are required on Quebec-registered vehicles from December 1 to March 15, according to the Government of Quebec. Snowstorms slow everything and empty the taxi supply at the same moment, which is when a pre-booked car is most useful.
Festival and race season. The Canadian Grand Prix in May, the jazz festival in late June and early July, and July's comedy festival close streets in the Quartier des Spectacles and send traffic to Parc Jean-Drapeau. Pickups move to the edge of closures, and the desk sends a meeting point rather than promising a door.
Popular Montreal limo routes
YUL to downtown. Fixed from US$120 in a Business Sedan to US$315 in an Executive Sprinter, all-in, either direction. Our YUL limo guide walks through the arrival.
A night at the Bell Centre. The Bell Centre is home to the Canadiens and the city's biggest arena concerts. The evening out package, from US$550, covers dinner, the game or show and the ride back, with the car nearby. See sports event transportation.
Old Montreal dinner and the mountain lookout. A 3-hour booking covers a pickup, dinner in the old city and a late drive up to the Mount Royal lookout. At US$110 per hour, that is US$330 in a Business Sedan.
The city highlights tour. Mount Royal, Saint Joseph's Oratory, Old Montreal, the Old Port and the Olympic Park, from US$440 in a Business Sedan. See private city tours.
Congress days at the Palais. The Palais des congres de Montreal hosts the city's large congresses, and everybody leaves at once at closing time. A car held by the hour, or a corporate roadshow day, avoids the scramble. See conference transportation.
Mont-Tremblant. The 10-hour day trip from downtown is US$1,015 in a Business Sedan; the one-way YUL to the pedestrian village fare is US$350. See Mont-Tremblant car service.
Quebec City and Ottawa. Long one-way runs are quoted in the web booker; see city to city car service, Quebec City and Ottawa.
Three sample rentals, priced
These use published Elly8.net rates, per vehicle and all-in. Your quote depends on exact times and addresses.
| Occasion | Vehicle and time | Arithmetic from published rates |
|---|---|---|
| Anniversary dinner in Old Montreal and the Mount Royal lookout | First Class Sedan, 3 hours | 3 x US$180 = US$540 |
| Six friends: dinner, a Canadiens game and home | Business SUV, evening out package | US$700, about US$117 each as arithmetic |
| Visiting executive: four meetings and a flight out of YUL | Business Sedan, corporate roadshow day | US$990 |
| Wedding party of 12: photos and reception | Executive Sprinter, 4 hours | 4 x US$220 = US$880 |
The anniversary. A pickup at the hotel, dinner in the old city, then the lookout on Mount Royal with the city lit below. Three hours is enough if dinner is unhurried; add an hour if you want a second stop.
The game night. Six people fit a Business SUV with room to spare. The package covers dinner, the drop-off at the arena and a pickup from an agreed corner afterwards, which is the part that matters when the whole arena empties at once.
The executive day. One chauffeur holds the car between meetings downtown and in Saint-Laurent, then drops the visitor at YUL. With a corporate account, the day lands on one monthly invoice.
The wedding party. The Sprinter carries everyone between the church, the photo stops and the reception, while the couple ride in a First Class Sedan or a Rolls-Royce quoted in the booker.
Limo rental or a taxi?
For a short ride across downtown with one or two people, a Montreal taxi on the provincial meter is cheaper, and our guide to Montreal taxi or rideshare fares shows exactly how the meter works. A rented chauffeur makes sense when you need the same car all evening, several stops, room for a group, a fixed budget, or a guaranteed ride when the arena or a festival empties. For trip-by-trip examples, see Montreal: Uber vs taxi vs private car.
Booking tips
- Count bags and people separately. A sedan takes 3 people but only 2 cases.
- Book by the hour when plans are loose, a package when they are long. A full day from US$810 is better value than eight separate hours.
- List every stop. Each one adds time and is quoted up front.
- Name the pickup corner for busy venues. It saves the most time after concerts and games.
- Ask about language. Montreal is French-speaking with English widely used; if you want a bilingual chauffeur, ask the desk when you book.
- Mind the alcohol rules. The chauffeur follows local rules, and there is no drinking in the vehicle; keep the celebrating at the venue.
- Know the cancellation terms. Free more than 72 hours before pickup, 10% at 72 hours or less, 50% at 48 hours or less, 100% at 24 hours or less or a no-show, refunded to the original card.
Companies booking often can open a corporate account with monthly invoicing, and NDAs are available on request. For weddings, see wedding limousine service, and for proms, prom limousine.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to rent a limo in Montreal for an evening?
The Elly8.net evening out and event night package is US$550 in a Business Sedan, US$700 in a Business SUV, US$900 in a First Class Sedan and US$1,100 in an Executive Sprinter, per vehicle and all-in. Hourly bookings start at US$110 with a 3-hour minimum. Stretch limousines and party buses are quoted in the web booker.
Can I rent a stretch limo in Montreal?
Yes, on request. Stretch limousines for up to 8 and stretch SUVs for up to 16 are quoted in the web booker for your date and route. They are long vehicles, so pickups in Old Montreal and on Plateau side streets are usually planned at a nearby wider street. Waiting beyond the booked time is billed at cost.
Is there a minimum booking time?
Hourly bookings have a 3-hour minimum. Fixed routes such as YUL to downtown and the packages, from the city highlights tour to the full day, are priced as listed without a separate minimum. Extra time beyond a booking or package is billed at cost.
Do I drive the limo myself?
No. Every Elly8.net booking includes a professional chauffeur. Rides in Montreal are operated by licensed, commercially insured local partners vetted through the Limousine Worldwide network, with Elly8.net taking the booking and running the 24/7 desk. You sit back; the chauffeur handles the driving, parking and timing.
What happens in winter?
Quebec requires winter tires on Quebec-registered vehicles from December 1 to March 15. Storms slow traffic, so the desk builds in time for airport runs and the Tremblant drive. A Business SUV or Sprinter carries skis and boots inside, and the desk checks Quebec 511 before long departures.
Can you handle a group for the Grand Prix?
Yes. Cars cannot drive to the circuit gates on Ile Notre-Dame, so we book to the official drop-off point for your gate and agree an evening pickup point. A full-day chauffeur keeps one vehicle with your party for dinner afterwards. Book early, because Grand Prix weekend is the busiest of the year.
