Why Choose Time Limo for Whistler Private Transfers
We pick you up from the arrivals terminal or your hotel lobby and drop you directly at your Whistler chalet or hotel.
The Sea-to-Sky Highway is beautiful but can be challenging in winter. Our vehicles run winter tires and our chauffeurs drive this road year-round. If Highway 99 closes, we divert to a hotel in Vancouver rather than leave you waiting on the highway.
We track your flight. If you are delayed, we wait. Once you land, there is no waiting for other passengers — we leave when you are ready.
Enjoy complimentary bottled water, Wi-Fi, and phone chargers on board so you can stay connected or simply relax.
YVR pickup
YVR Airport Pick-Up: Seamless Arrivals
Flight tracking
We monitor your flight in real time — early or delayed, your chauffeur is there.
Meet & greet
Arriving internationally, your chauffeur meets you inside international arrivals once you have cleared customs, collected your baggage and exited to the main area. Arriving domestically, they meet you near the luggage carousel — name sign either way.
Luggage assistance
We handle your luggage and ski gear from the carousel to the vehicle.
Depart immediately
No schedules to keep — we leave for Whistler the moment you’re ready.
Rates
Vancouver to Whistler private transfer rates.
One flat, all-in price either direction — from YVR or any Lower Mainland address to the door of your hotel or chalet.
Every rate includes
- A suggested 15% gratuity, fuel and GST. Built into every figure above — extra stops or waiting time are always quoted before they’re added.
- Meet & greet inside YVR. Uniformed chauffeur, name sign, and up to an hour of international arrival waiting.
- Live flight tracking. Land early or late — your chauffeur adjusts at no charge.
- A weather plan. If Highway 99 closes, dispatch diverts you to a Vancouver hotel — not a terminal bench.

Gear capacity · dispatch-verified
Which vehicle do I need for skis and snowboards?
An Executive SUV or larger. The Executive Sedan carries regular luggage but does not take snow gear — booking one with skis means a problem at the curb, so we would rather say so here.
| Vehicle | Passengers | Ski & snowboard gear |
|---|---|---|
| Executive Sedan | Up to 3 | No snow gear. Regular luggage bags only |
| Executive SUV | Up to 6 | Seats fold down. Four passengers plus skis is no problem, depending on checked luggage |
| Sprinter Van | Up to 14 | Best for gear. Gear and bags for everyone — and a luggage trailer is available for full 14-passenger groups |
| Shuttle Bus | 28 | 28 passengers and all their luggage |
Both directions
Private Transportation from Vancouver Airport to Whistler
Time Limo provides private transportation from Vancouver to Whistler and from Vancouver Airport to Whistler, year-round — one vehicle, one group, no shared stops, booked as a flat rate. Transportation from Vancouver airport to Whistler for a ski week, or Vancouver to Whistler transportation for a corporate group.
Whistler transfers
Whistler Private Transfers, Limo Service and Airport Transfers
Whistler private transfers run in both directions, all year. Our Whistler limo service and Whistler limousine service cover ski trips and corporate travel; for a Whistler limo rental or a private shuttle from Vancouver to Whistler, the Sprinter Van and Shuttle Bus carry the bigger groups. Whistler airport transfers to and from YVR are the most-booked run on this route.
Drop-offs
Where in Whistler Do You Drop Off?
Any address in the resort municipality — hotel, chalet or lift. Creekside is about five minutes south of the Village on Highway 99; give us the address when you book and the chauffeur takes you to the door rather than the nearest bus stop.
Return leg
How Do I Get from Whistler Back to Vancouver Airport?
Whistler to Vancouver airport, Whistler to YVR, a private shuttle from Whistler to Vancouver airport or transportation from Whistler to Vancouver airport — the same transfer in reverse. For an international departure, leave about five and a half hours before your flight: up to three hours on a snow day plus the three-hour check-in window. The last day of a ski week is our busiest slot.
