poss Posted April 13, 2016 #1 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Are there always plenty of cabs at the airport? We should be arriving around 8:00 p.m. and after a long flight it'd not be fun to have to wait around a long time for a cab. Does anyone know what the approximate rate is from the airport to Westin Bayshore? Also, what's expected as a tip? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They usually have about a 100 taxis on standby at the terminal . The Westin Bayshore is $36 CDN. They used fix rates from the airport to different parts of the city . Tip expected usually about $5 to $10 in Canadian dollars . Most major credit cards are also taken. They will not give a good exchange rate of exchange. There also is a taxi stand in front of domestic arrivals. Edited April 13, 2016 by Kamloops50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlxo Posted April 14, 2016 #3 Share Posted April 14, 2016 There is rarely an absence of taxi's at the Vancouver airport. You may need to wait a few minutes if you want a luggage friendly minivan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a little larger than a standard Prius.:):cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putterdude Posted April 15, 2016 #6 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Not that it amounts to a hill of beans, but the flat rate for a cab from YVR to the Bayshore is $35. The tip expected is the same as any other North American city that I know of, 15 to 20% of the fare. There is a taxi line 24/7, just bear left as you exit the customs are and go outside, it is all very well signed. If there is only 2 of you a Prius cab will handle you and your luggage very comfortably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
