Not sure if anyone has posted this information yet ... feel free to cross post into Alaska forum, if you feel it fits!  I know the Alaska season has just about wrapped up for this year, but would presume these prices will run for next year too, so will provide the information for those over-planners on the boards!

 

The set taxi rates FROM Vancouver airport (YVR) have increased as of October 11, 2024.  These are set rates FROM the airport to Vancouver destinations only, rates TO the airport are normally "on the meter" [in my experience!].  Also in my experience, Lyft/Uber can be a little cheaper (depending on the surge pricing for day/time), with Lyft being a little less than Uber (but sometimes with a bit more of a wait) ... I usually check the pricing in both apps and see what the prices and wait times are.  [Hint: if using taxis make sure you know what the pricing "should" be ... even as a local I've had drivers try and charge me for the next pricing zone over!]

A great PSA.

 

Any idea why somebody would pay $24 to take a taxi in the Sea Island zone?
