WhenIsOurNextCruise Posted August 23, 2007 #1 Share Posted August 23, 2007 6 people, 12 bags, 6 carryons from Airport to Cruise ship - can anyone recommend a limo service (must be cheaper than 3 taxis). And how much time on average to clear Canadian customs on a Friday around noon? Thanks! Cat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fl gal Posted August 23, 2007 #2 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Wow, this is a good question that I'm glad you asked. We will also have 6 people, and I'm sure about the same # of bags. We were hoping to get a limo from the airport to a hotel in the downtown area. I know a lot of people have used LimoJet (I believe), but I just wasn't sure if there will be enough room for all of our luggage, which will probably be the same amount that you have.

Michele I know that it won't fit in a normal limo for 6 - but I think they have larger limo's - maybe a stretch SUV. I'm planning on weighing the difference between three taxis and 1 big limo......

fl gal Posted August 23, 2007 #4 Share Posted August 23, 2007 You're thinking the same thing that I am except I was thinking 2 taxis with 3 people in each. We really would like to get the stretch limo, though. Michele Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeftcoastBC Posted August 23, 2007 #5 Share Posted August 23, 2007 We did 6 grown adults in one of their bigger models (not the big stretch) but we were only doing a 3 dayer and we all had one carry and one large bag. Email them and ask. Customs at noon...?? quite a few flts around then getting in.... and if one is a big one from the Far east it could be a while. But they do try to plan ahead. My guess.. 25-60 minutes from plane to taxi unless you get "Picked" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PEFER33 Posted August 23, 2007 #6 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Be aware that all luggage must be put in the limo's trunk. This includes carry-ons. I believe it is a Canadian law, because I see the same restriction for Toronto. When we left Vancouver after our 2 week cruise, we had 7 adults and 2 children. We used 2 limos and luckily they had bungee cords for the trunks which couldn't close with all the bags we had. Sorry, I don't remember which company we used.

orchid72 Posted August 28, 2007 #7 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Hi, May I suggest you try Limojet? http://www.limojetgold.com/ultra-streach.html I haven't used them, but am planning to in a couple of weeks. I've heard from others that they are pretty good. Friday noon arrival could be busy. I've experienced a wait of about 45 minutes before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ell52 Posted August 28, 2007 #8 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Besides Limojet Gold, you might also check out Star Limousine. Most limo companies have stretch vehicles that will accommodate six people and luggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathermom Posted August 28, 2007 #9 Share Posted August 28, 2007 I think that there are essentially always Limos available at the airport when you go out. rate to downtown is $45 CDN + tax & tip http://www.yvr.ca/guide/toandfrom/limos.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherwoman Posted August 31, 2007 #10 Share Posted August 31, 2007 We just got back from the Mercury and used Star Limousine from Canada Place to our home about 5 miles past the airport. Charge for 8 adults and a ton of luggage was $100.00 Canadian including gratuity. They sent a van that had an extended roof, you could actually stand up if you wanted to. Everyone had a seat belt and it was very comfortable. Lots of room for the luggage. I would highly recommend this company! Fisherwoman :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
