Meet & greet — included free

What Happens When You Land at YVR

Most services charge extra for terminal meet & greet. Ours is included with every airport pickup — here’s exactly what to expect.

Domestic Arrivals

Your chauffeur waits at your flight’s carousel holding a sign with your name, helps with your bags the moment they arrive, and walks you straight to the vehicle.

International Arrivals

Your chauffeur waits in the arrivals reception hall, just beyond customs, with free wait time while you clear immigration. We track your flight, not the clock.

Free Wait Time

Wait time is measured from when your plane actually lands — not the scheduled time. Complimentary wait covers baggage claim and customs on every pickup.

One Fixed Price

Your all-in rate is confirmed before you book and never changes. Rideshare shows a price; we guarantee one.

Why a flat rate beats the app

Thirty-Plus Years of YVR Arrivals. Zero Surge Pricing.

When your flight lands at 11 p.m. in the rain, a rideshare app shows you one price and charges you another. A taxi queue shows you nothing at all. We show you the full price before you book — and it never changes.

Time Limousine has been Metro Vancouver’s airport car service since 1992. We’re a licensed, insured local team whose drivers know every YVR terminal, every hotel loading zone, and every route through the city — including the Sea-to-Sky in a February snowfall.

That experience is why hotels, cruise lines, and corporate travel desks have booked with us for three decades — and why our On-Time Guarantee comes with every single ride. Rated 4.6★ by 668+ Google reviewers — the people we pick up.

Flat rates from YVR start at $150+ CAD, subject to taxes and gratuity, with every quote confirmed upfront before you book. No hidden fees, no surge pricing, ever — the instant quote form shows your exact all-inclusive rate.
How does airport pickup work with Time Limo?
Your chauffeur monitors your flight in real time and meets you inside the terminal — at the baggage carousel for domestic arrivals, or in the arrivals reception hall for international flights — holding a sign with your name.
Does Time Limo track my flight if it’s delayed?
Yes. Flight tracking is included with every reservation at no extra charge, so your chauffeur is waiting for you exactly when your plane touches down — early or late.

Both are private, flat-rate transportation. Car service uses executive sedans or SUVs for airport transfers, while limo service uses stretch vehicles for luxury or special occasions.
