Transportation from Montreal Airport to Hotel

[PLStype]

There are 4 of us wanting to find transportation from the Montreal Airport to our hotel the day before we cruise. Although Montreal has a metro system, I can't find where it goes as far as the airport. Am I right? Will we need to catch an aerobus into town central or have we overlooked something better?

[]The subway(metro)is not near the airport. you would have take the city bus you need to take 2 buses To reach the metro. [/b]

what hotel are you staying at. taking a taxi would be alot easier,[/b]

it would cost you about $30.00 to the center of Montreal.

ckeck to see if the Hotel has a shuttle., Welcome to Montreal.

the only city were there are traffic jams at 3 AM on ST. Catherines

street.

Sailing on Maasdam 23 May, plan on taxi, but...will they take greenbacks ?

Taxi drivers love American money. there will be no problem!

Thanks Earl. That was my next question--which would be cheaper? Our hotel does not offer shuttle service. Think we can find a big taxi that will be able to handle 4 people + our luggage (probably 1 larger case + 1 carry on per person)?

Tell the Despatcher at the airport that you want a Van or an SUV.

he will gladly do it!

Back a few years ago we did a repositoning cruise from Ft Lauderdale to Montreal which ended there.

Since we had 4 huge suitcases and 2 carry-ons -- we had to get a Van to go to our hotel and a Van to go from the hotel to the airport a few days later.

Taxis in Canada are NOT big.

Perfect. Thanks Earl and Krazy for your comments. Just what I needed to know.
