Parking and waiting beyond the included time are billed at cost.
Arriving at YWG
Winnipeg's airport is close to the centre, about 12 km (7 mi) west of downtown, and the terminal is a single, modern building where arrivals is easy to find. 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. The drive in follows Wellington Avenue or Route 90 and Portage Avenue, around 20 minutes on a clear road and longer at weekday rush hour or after a snowfall.
Winter is the reason many travellers book a car here rather than trying their luck at the curb. On a January evening at minus 25 C, nobody wants to stand outside waiting for a ride to be matched, and a chauffeur in arrivals with the vehicle warm and close by is a real comfort for families and older travellers. For departures, we usually suggest leaving downtown about two hours before a domestic flight and earlier for a US or international departure. See airport transfers and airport meet and greet.
Winnipeg taxi vs transit vs rideshare vs Elly8.net
Taxi service from the airport is provided by Unicity Taxi, with cabs on Arrivals Level 1 near Door 3, according to the airport's taxi page. Taxi fares are metered under the City of Winnipeg's maximum fare schedule, so the total depends on the meter and the traffic. Winnipeg Transit buses also serve the airport; the 2026 adult cash fare is C$3.45 on the city's transit fares page, and the network was redesigned in 2025, so check the current route in the trip planner before you travel.
| Option | Price to downtown | Time | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Winnipeg Transit | C$3.45 adult cash fare | Longer, with stops | One traveller, light bag, daytime |
| Airport taxi (metered) | Meter, under the City's maximum fare schedule | About 20 minutes clear | Walk-up arrivals |
| Rideshare | Varies with demand and time of day | Same roads, plus the wait for a match | Flexible plans, mild weather |
| Elly8.net business sedan | from US$100, fixed and all-in | Chauffeur waiting in arrivals | Late flights, winter, meetings, fixed budgets |
| Elly8.net Executive Sprinter | from US$260 for the vehicle | Same | Groups, teams, wedding parties |
A fair verdict: for one person with a carry-on on a mild afternoon, transit or a taxi from the stand will usually cost less than a pre-booked car. The chauffeur is the better choice for a late arrival in deep winter, a family with child seats, a group that wants one vehicle for everyone and their bags, an executive with meetings the moment the plane lands, or a company that needs a fixed price on an invoice. See chauffeur vs taxi and chauffeur vs Uber and Lyft.
Downtown, The Forks and the Exchange District
Downtown Winnipeg grew up where the Red and Assiniboine rivers meet, and that junction is now The Forks, a market and public space with restaurants, a skating trail on the river in winter and walkways along the water. Beside it stands the Canadian Museum for Human Rights, the national museum whose glass tower is visible from across the city. A few blocks north, the Exchange District keeps the city's turn-of-the-century warehouses and bank buildings, now full of restaurants, galleries and studios.
The private city highlights tour, from US$440 in a business sedan to US$880 in an Executive Sprinter, takes in The Forks and the museum, the Exchange District, the Manitoba Legislative Building, St. Boniface across the river with its cathedral ruins and French-Canadian heritage, and Assiniboine Park with its zoo and gardens. The chauffeur waits at each stop, which in winter means you step from a warm museum into a warm car. Hourly service starts at US$110 in a business sedan with a 3-hour minimum. See private city tours and hourly chauffeur service. Tourism Winnipeg lists current events.
Canada Life Centre: Jets, Moose and concerts
Canada Life Centre on Portage Avenue is home to the Winnipeg Jets and the Manitoba Moose, and the city's main arena for touring concerts. On game nights, the streets around Portage and Donald fill an hour before puck drop, and the end of the game empties the arena onto the same few blocks at once, which is when the taxi line and the rideshare wait both grow.
The evening out and event night package, from US$550 in a business sedan and US$700 in a business SUV to US$1,100 in an Executive Sprinter, covers dinner, the game or the concert and the ride back, with a pickup point agreed in advance a short walk from the doors. For a group of friends or a corporate box, the Sprinter keeps everyone together. See sports event transportation and concert transportation.
JUNO Week 2027 in Winnipeg
The JUNO Awards return to Winnipeg in 2027. The CBC and JUNO Awards announcement sets JUNO Week for April 1 to 4, 2027, ending with the awards broadcast live from Canada Life Centre; event details are on the JUNO Awards site. JUNO Week brings artists, industry guests, media and fans to downtown hotels and venues across several nights, and early April in Winnipeg can still be wintry.
For JUNO Week we book cars by the evening or by the hour, with the airport run on each side. Artist teams and industry groups often need several vehicles coordinated across showcases, dinners and the broadcast night; tell us the schedule and the desk plans the cars around it. NDAs are available on request. See event transportation.
Conventions and corporate travel
The RBC Convention Centre downtown hosts association meetings, trade shows and conferences through the year. Session ends put every delegate on York Avenue at once, so we stagger cars and use a named entrance for congress pickups. See conference transportation.
Winnipeg's business travel centres on finance and insurance, transportation and logistics, aerospace, agriculture and government, with head offices downtown and plants and campuses on the city's edges. 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, with one chauffeur holding the car between meetings. A full-day chauffeur starts at US$810 in a business sedan. Companies booking regularly can open a corporate account with monthly invoicing. See corporate car service.
Winter driving and planning around the cold
Winnipeg winters are long and very cold, and the city handles them well, but a few habits make a car trip smoother. We plan pickups at a door rather than a corner, choose an SUV for families and heavy luggage between December and March, and build in time after snowfalls for slower main roads and the side streets that are cleared later. Pack for the cold even on a short ride: if the weather turns, nobody wants to wait outside in light shoes.
The desk watches the forecast on your travel days. If a storm is due before an early flight, we contact you about leaving earlier, and for arrivals the tracked flight keeps the chauffeur matched to the actual landing.
Weddings, proms and nights out
Winnipeg weddings often move between a church or hall, photos at The Forks, the Legislative Building or Assiniboine Park, and a reception downtown or out of town. A full-day chauffeur keeps one car with the couple; an Executive Sprinter moves the wedding party. See wedding limousine service, and for graduation season, prom and graduation limousines. Chauffeurs follow local rules on alcohol in the vehicle.
