Airport → your hotel

Montréal-Trudeau (YUL) is about 20 km from the city centre. The 747 Express bus runs 24/7 to downtown and metro stations for C$11.25, and that ticket doubles as a 24-hour transit pass (~45–60 min). A taxi is a fixed C$49.45 to downtown (C$56.70 overnight). (The REM light-rail link isn't open until 2027.) Add your hotel on the Day-by-Day tab for an exact distance and fare. Verified Jul 2026.
