Tolls, parking and waiting beyond the included time are billed at cost.
Arriving at YQB
Jean Lesage is a compact, easy airport, and the arrivals area is small enough that meeting your chauffeur takes a minute. Your chauffeur waits inside arrivals with a name board, tracks your flight and works to the actual landing time, with complimentary waiting after a tracked landing. In winter, that also means the car is warm when you reach it rather than idling in a queue.
The drive into town runs east along the autoroutes past Sainte-Foy and onto Grande Allee or Boulevard Champlain, depending on where you are staying, about 24 minutes on a clear road. Weekday rush hours around the bridges and Sainte-Foy add time, and a snowstorm adds more. See airport transfers for how our airport pickups work everywhere, and train station transfers if you are arriving by VIA Rail from Montreal instead.
Quebec City taxi vs bus vs rideshare vs Elly8.net
The airport publishes fixed taxi fares to downtown Quebec City: C$41.40 by day and C$47.60 at night, between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m., per the YQB taxi page. Taxis are requested at the counter on level 1, between the international arrivals area and the currency exchange. On public transit, RTC route 80 serves the airport from and to the city centre via the Les Saules terminus, and route 76 links the airport to the Sainte-Foy bus and train stations in under 30 minutes, according to the airport's public transportation page. An RTC ticket machine is in the terminal.
| Option | Price to Old Quebec | Time | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| RTC bus (route 80, or 76 plus a connection) | RTC fare per person | Longer, with stops or a transfer | One traveller, light bag |
| Airport taxi (fixed fare to downtown) | C$41.40 day / C$47.60 night per car | About 24 minutes clear | Walk-up arrivals |
| Rideshare | Varies with demand and time of day | Same roads, plus the wait for a match | Flexible plans |
| Elly8.net business sedan | from US$115, fixed and all-in | Chauffeur waiting in arrivals | Late flights, winter arrivals, fixed budgets |
| Elly8.net Executive Sprinter | from US$300 for the vehicle | Same | Groups, ski trips, wedding parties |
The fair summary: the airport taxi at a fixed fare is good value for a couple arriving in daylight with modest luggage, and the RTC bus works for a solo traveller in no hurry. The pre-booked car earns its place when the flight lands late in a snowstorm, when a family needs child seats fitted, when a group wants one vehicle with room for skis, or when the trip has to land on a company invoice.

Old Quebec, the Chateau Frontenac and the hills
The walled city is the reason most people come. The Historic District of Old Quebec is a UNESCO World Heritage site, and it is also a hard place to drive: narrow one-way streets, steep hills between the Upper Town and the Lower Town, gates in the walls, and very little curb space. The Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac sits on the cliff above the river with Dufferin Terrace in front of it, and below it the lanes of Petit-Champlain and Place Royale are best on foot.
This is where a chauffeur saves real effort. The car drops you at the hotel door or the closest legal point, and for dinner in the Lower Town it collects you at the bottom of the hill rather than leaving you to climb the stairs or the funicular in the cold. In winter, sidewalks on the slopes can be icy, and that matters for older travellers and anyone in dress shoes.
Carnaval de Quebec and winter nights
The Carnaval de Quebec runs February 5 to 14, 2027, centred on the Plains of Abraham and the ice palace near the Parliament. Quebec City tourism covers the Carnaval, and the night parade dates appear in the official program closer to the event. Parade nights close roads in the Upper Town around the route, and the evening temperatures are serious, so the plan is a warm car, a drop-off at an agreed point on the edge of the closures, and a pickup time and place set before you leave the vehicle.
The evening out and event night package, from US$550 in a business sedan to US$1,100 in an Executive Sprinter, covers a dinner, a parade or a show and the ride back with the car waiting nearby. Winter also brings the German Christmas market in the old town and the ski resorts outside the city. Quebec requires winter tires on Quebec-registered vehicles from December 1 to March 15, per the Government of Quebec, and partner vehicles are equipped for the season. See event transportation.
Montmorency Falls and Ile d'Orleans day trip
The signature Quebec City package is a six-hour day to Montmorency Falls and Ile d'Orleans, from US$610 in a business sedan and US$775 in a business SUV to US$1,215 in an Executive Sprinter. Montmorency Falls is about 12 km from Old Quebec, a waterfall higher than Niagara with a suspension bridge across the top and a cable car up from the base. Across the bridge from the falls, Ile d'Orleans has farm stands, sugar shacks, cideries, chocolate makers and small churches along a road that loops the whole island.
The chauffeur drives you from your hotel to the falls, waits, takes you around the island at your pace and brings you back. In summer it is strawberries and orchards, in autumn apples and colour, and in winter the frozen falls and the sugar shacks. If tastings are on your list, they happen at the producers; the chauffeur follows local rules on alcohol in the vehicle. See private city tours.
A day in the city by chauffeur
The private city highlights tour, from US$440 in a business sedan to US$880 in an Executive Sprinter, covers the Plains of Abraham, the Citadelle, the Parliament and Grande Allee, the old town gates, the Lower Town and a lookout across the river to Levis. For a longer or looser day, hourly service starts at US$110 in a business sedan with a 3-hour minimum, and the full-day chauffeur starts at US$810. See hourly chauffeur service.
Congresses, government and corporate travel
The Centre des congres de Quebec, next to the Parliament and the hotels of Grande Allee and Rene-Levesque, hosts congresses and association meetings through the year. As the provincial capital, the city also sees steady government and delegation travel. We schedule congress pickups at a named entrance and stagger vehicles at session ends, and delegations can book several cars under one reservation with an NDA on request. See conference transportation and government and diplomatic transportation.
A corporate roadshow day starts at US$990 in a business sedan and US$1,260 in a business SUV, up to US$1,980 in an Executive Sprinter. Companies booking regularly can open a corporate account with monthly invoicing. Quebec City is a French-speaking city where English is common in hotels and tourism; if you need a French-speaking or bilingual chauffeur, ask the desk when you book.
Weddings, cruise days and getting here from Montreal
Old Quebec is a classic place to marry, with ceremonies in the old town's churches and receptions inside the walls or along the river. A full-day chauffeur keeps a car with the couple; Sprinters move guests between hotels. See wedding limousine service. Cruise ships call at the Old Port below the Lower Town in season, and a chauffeur can meet you at the terminal for a tour or a transfer; see cruise port transfers.
Many visitors arrive from Montreal. It is the long drive visitors ask about most; enter both addresses in the web booker for a fixed price, or see city to city car service. If you are flying into Montreal first, start with our Montreal car service page.

A round trip booked together starts at US$220. The drive is about 17 km (11 mi), roughly 24 minutes on a clear road.
Where does the chauffeur meet me at YQB?
Inside the arrivals area, with a name board. Add your flight number when you book; the desk tracks it, and you get complimentary waiting after a tracked landing, so a late flight or slow bags are covered. In winter, the car is warm and close by.
Can the car get into Old Quebec?
Yes, to your hotel door or the nearest legal point, depending on the street. Old Quebec has narrow, steep, one-way streets and little curb space, so the desk confirms the exact drop-off before arrival and the chauffeur helps with luggage.
How do we get around during Carnaval parades?
Parade nights close roads around the route in the Upper Town. We drop you at an agreed point on the edge of the closures and set the pickup time and place before you leave the car, which keeps you out of the cold. The 2027 night parade dates are published in the official Carnaval program.
How long is the Montmorency Falls and Ile d'Orleans tour?
The package is six hours, from US$610 in a business sedan and US$775 in a business SUV to US$1,215 in an Executive Sprinter. It covers Montmorency Falls, about 12 km from Old Quebec, and a loop of Ile d'Orleans with the stops you choose.
Do you provide child seats?
Yes, on request. Give each child's age and weight when you book and the right seats are fitted before pickup. For a family in winter, with coats, boots and luggage, a business SUV gives more room around the seats. There is no extra step at the airport: the seats are in the car when you reach it.
What is your cancellation policy?
Free more than 72 hours before pickup, 10% at 72 hours or less, 50% at 48 hours or less, and 100% at 24 hours or less or for a no-show. Refunds go back to the original card. The same terms apply to every vehicle class and every Elly8.net city.
