How does a transfer from YUL airport work?

Where do I meet my driver at the airport?
At Door 23, arrivals level, after baggage claim — follow the “Taxi” signs. On request at booking, the driver can wait in the arrivals hall with a sign bearing your name.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
We track your flight using your flight number and the driver automatically adjusts the pickup time. No extra charge for a reasonable delay.
What is the rate for YUL airport?
Between downtown Montreal and YUL airport, a flat rate regulated by the CTQ applies: $49.45 by day and $56.70 at night (11 PM to 5 AM), per vehicle. For other addresses the ride is metered; an estimate is provided at booking.

Rates

How is the fare calculated?
By taxi meter, according to the Commission des transports du Québec grid: a $4.10 base charge, then $2.05 per kilometre (or $0.77 per minute when the vehicle is moving slowly). The estimate given at booking is based on the Google Maps distance; the final fare is the meter's.
Is there a night rate?
Yes, between 11 PM and 5 AM a slightly higher night rate applies ($4.70 base and $2.35 per kilometre), in line with the official rates. It is included in the estimate provided at booking.
Can prices go up with traffic, holidays or demand?
No. Quebec law forbids taxis from raising their rates based on traffic, public holidays or demand. No surge pricing: the fare always follows the regulated grid.
Should I tip the driver?
Tipping is not required but appreciated. The usual tip in Quebec is about 10 to 15% of the fare for good service.
