A Regina limo service booked through Elly8.net is a private chauffeur and vehicle at a fixed, all-in price, quoted and charged in US dollars before you travel. Regina International Airport (YQR) is only about 4 km (3 mi) from downtown, so a YQR to downtown transfer is quick and costs from US$95 in a business sedan to US$250 in an Executive Sprinter, with your flight tracked and the chauffeur waiting at arrivals.
Rides in Regina are operated by licensed, commercially insured local chauffeur partners vetted through the Limousine Worldwide network; Elly8.net takes the booking, fixes the price and runs the 24/7 desk. Saskatchewan's capital is a government, agriculture and potash city with a famously devoted football following, and those are the trips this page is about: the Legislature and Crown corporations, Mosaic Stadium on game day, the REAL District during Agribition, and the drives out to mines and farms that make Regina's economy run.
How much is a car service from Regina airport to downtown?
A fixed Elly8.net transfer from YQR to downtown Regina costs from US$95 in a business sedan, US$125 in a business SUV, US$155 in a First Class SUV, US$170 in a First Class Sedan and US$250 in an Executive Sprinter. The price is per vehicle and includes the chauffeur, taxes, standard gratuity and meet and greet.
Every price on this page is in US dollars. A round trip from YQR to downtown and back costs from US$185 in a business sedan, US$240 in a business SUV and US$475 in an Executive Sprinter for a group.
The clear-road drive is about 7 minutes, east along Regina Avenue or Lewvan Drive and into the downtown grid. Traffic seldom adds much, but a game day at Mosaic Stadium, a Legislature sitting or a snowstorm can. With a trip this short, the value of a pre-booked car is certainty: a vehicle that is already there when you land late at night, a fixed price, and a chauffeur who can stay with you through the day.
Arriving at YQR
YQR has a single terminal, and the meeting is simple. Your chauffeur tracks the flight number on your booking and waits in the arrivals hall with a name board, so you walk out of bag claim and straight to the car. Waiting is complimentary after a tracked landing, which matters here because many routes into Regina connect through Calgary, Toronto or Winnipeg and a late inbound flight is common. See airport meet and greet.
Late arrivals deserve a mention. Regina is a smaller market, and on a late weeknight the number of cars on the road is limited. A car reserved in advance is the one thing you know will be there. For departures, a downtown pickup about two hours before a domestic flight is usually plenty; allow more for an international departure or a holiday weekend.
Charter flights and private aircraft can be met at the operator's building instead of the main terminal; see private jet and FBO transfers.
Regina taxi, Uber, Route 24 or Elly8.net
Regina's airport is close enough that a taxi or rideshare is often perfectly sensible. Here is how the alternatives actually work, from the airport's and the city's own pages.
| Option | Price YQR to downtown | Time | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Regina Transit Route 24 | Standard city fare | weekday timetable only | One traveller, light bag, weekday daytime |
| Taxi | Metered | about 7 to 15 min | Walk-up trips, no booking |
| Uber | Varies with demand | Pickup in the commercial lane of the short-term lot | Light travellers comfortable with app pickups |
| Elly8.net business sedan | US$95 fixed, per vehicle | Door to door, met inside | Late flights, groups, executives, game days, a fixed price in US$ |
The YQR ground transportation page lists the authorised taxi companies and confirms that Uber operates at the airport; apart from one taxi company with a terminal stand, commercial pickups including Uber use the commercial lane in the short-term parking lot across the road from the arrivals doors. Regina Transit Route 24 links the airport and downtown on a weekday timetable.
For one person with a carry-on landing on a weekday afternoon, any of these is fine, and the bus is cheapest. A pre-booked chauffeur is the better choice for a midnight arrival, a family with child seats in winter, a delegation that needs one vehicle and one driver, an executive with a full day of meetings, or a group heading to the stadium. More on the categories in chauffeur vs taxi and chauffeur vs Uber and Lyft.
Mosaic Stadium and Roughriders game days
The Saskatchewan Roughriders play CFL football at Mosaic Stadium, north-west of downtown on the REAL District grounds, and on game day the whole city wears green. Traffic and parking around the stadium fill hours before kickoff, and the crowd leaves in one wave at the final whistle. The Roughriders' official site publishes the schedule, parking and game-day information.
For corporate hosts and groups of fans, the practical answer is one vehicle for everyone. An Executive Sprinter drops the group near the stadium, the chauffeur waits, and everybody leaves together from an agreed pickup point away from the main exits. The evening out and event night package costs from US$550 in a business sedan to US$1,100 in a Sprinter. Fans coming from Saskatoon, about 259 km (161 mi) north, often book the Sprinter for the round trip; our Saskatoon limo service page covers that end. See sports event transportation.
The Legislature, government and Crown corporations
Regina is Saskatchewan's capital, and much of the city's business travel runs through the Legislative Building on the edge of Wascana Lake, the provincial ministries downtown and the Crown corporations headquartered here. Delegations, consultants and visiting officials usually need more than an airport run: a car that waits outside one meeting and moves on to the next.
That is the hourly booking: from US$110 an hour in a business sedan to US$220 in a Sprinter, 3-hour minimum. A full-day chauffeur costs from US$810 in a business sedan to US$1,620 in a Sprinter. For official visits, see government and diplomatic transportation; NDAs are available on request.
Potash and agribusiness travel
Regina sits at the centre of one of the world's great potash and grain regions. The Mosaic Company's potash business in Canada is supported from Mosaic Tower in Regina, and its Belle Plaine mine lies on the Trans-Canada Highway between Regina and Moose Jaw. Grain handling, crop inputs, farm equipment and agricultural finance bring a steady stream of buyers, engineers and investors through YQR.
A typical day is a hotel pickup downtown, an office meeting, then a drive out on Highway 1 to a site, and back for dinner. Book it as Regina car service by the hour or a full day, and tell us the site contact and any check-in rules at the gate. For investor tours and analyst days with several stops, the corporate roadshow day costs from US$990 in a business sedan to US$1,980 in a Sprinter; see investor roadshows and multi-meeting days.
Companies with people in Regina regularly can open a corporate account with monthly invoicing, fixed US-dollar fares and one desk for all 141 Elly8.net cities, and book corporate car service here and across the Prairies.
The REAL District and Agribition week
The REAL District, north-west of downtown beside Mosaic Stadium, is Regina's main events campus, with its arena, convention space and exhibition halls. Its biggest week of the year is Canadian Western Agribition in late November, one of North America's major livestock and agriculture shows, which brings ranchers, buyers and international delegations to the city. If you are coming for Agribition, book your airport transfer and any hourly cars as early as you can; the organisers publish the show dates. For trade shows and conferences the rest of the year, a conference transportation booking covers delegate shuttles and executive cars.
Downtown, Wascana and things to see
The fares on this page are calculated to downtown Regina, a compact grid of offices and hotels a few minutes from both the airport and Wascana Centre, the large urban park around Wascana Lake that holds the Legislative Building and several of the city's cultural institutions. The Conexus Arts Centre, on the lakeshore, hosts the symphony, touring shows and large conferences.
The RCMP Heritage Centre, beside the RCMP Academy, Depot Division, on the west side of the city, is the visit most North Americans ask about. It tells the story of the Mounted Police, and on scheduled days visitors can watch cadet parades. The private city highlights tour combines it with the Legislature and Wascana Centre, and costs from US$440 in a business sedan to US$880 in a Sprinter; see private city tours. Tourism Regina publishes the official visitor calendar.
Winter in Regina
Regina winters are cold, windy and open, and blowing snow on the highways can change a plan quickly. Partner vehicles are four model years old or newer, and in winter a warm car waiting at the door is half the service. For early flights after overnight snow, we confirm the pickup the evening before and allow extra time. Flight tracking adjusts the pickup if your inbound flight is held by weather somewhere else; for a cancellation, message the 24/7 desk and we rebook.
Weddings, proms and nights out
Regina has steady demand for limo buses and party buses for graduations, stagettes and birthdays. For a group, an Executive Sprinter with driver is priced as one vehicle, which keeps the cost per head low; larger groups can ask about party bus rental through the web booker. For a wedding at Wascana or a venue outside the city, a First Class Sedan for the couple and a Sprinter for the wedding party is a common pairing; see wedding limousine and guest shuttles and prom and graduation limousines. Chauffeurs follow Saskatchewan's rules on alcohol in vehicles. The fleet page shows what each vehicle seats.

Frequently asked questions
How much is a car service from Regina airport to downtown?
A fixed Elly8.net YQR to downtown Regina transfer costs from US$95 in a business sedan, US$125 in a business SUV and US$250 in an Executive Sprinter. The price is per vehicle and includes the chauffeur, taxes, standard gratuity and meet and greet. All prices are in US dollars; parking and waiting beyond the included time are billed at cost.
How far is Regina airport from downtown?
About 4 km (3 mi), roughly 7 minutes on a clear road. On a Roughriders game day, during a heavy snowfall or at a Legislature-week rush hour it can take longer, but rarely much more than 15 minutes. For departures, a downtown pickup about two hours before a domestic flight is usually comfortable.
Where does the chauffeur meet me at YQR?
In the arrivals hall of the single terminal, holding a name board, after you collect your bags. The chauffeur tracks your flight from the number on the booking, so a late connection through Calgary, Toronto or Winnipeg is handled automatically, and waiting is complimentary after a tracked landing.
Can you take our group to a Roughriders game?
Yes. An Executive Sprinter carries the whole group as one vehicle, drops you near Mosaic Stadium, waits through the game and collects everyone from an agreed point away from the main exits. The evening out and event night package costs from US$1,100 for the Sprinter; a round trip from Saskatoon is quoted through the web booker.
Are child seats available in Regina?
Yes. Request child or booster seats when you book and give the children's ages; the partner fits them before pickup. In winter it means the family walks out of arrivals into a warm car that is already set up, instead of fitting seats in a cold parking lot.
What is the cancellation policy?
Cancellation is free more than 72 hours before pickup. At 72 hours or less the charge is 10%, at 48 hours or less 50%, and at 24 hours or less or for a no-show 100%. Refunds go back to the original card. If your flight is cancelled, message the 24/7 desk and we move the booking.
Should I book early for Agribition week?
Yes. Canadian Western Agribition in late November is one of the busiest weeks of the year for Regina hotels and cars. Reserve your YQR transfer and any hourly or full-day bookings as soon as your travel is set; a fixed fare is locked at the time you reserve, and cancellation is free more than 72 hours before pickup.
Can my company open an account?
Yes. Corporate accounts get monthly invoicing, fixed US-dollar fares, one desk for all 141 cities and NDAs on request, which suits government contractors, agribusiness and resource companies with regular visitors. Apply on the corporate accounts page and the desk sets up your travellers and billing.
