Questions travellers askFrequently Asked Questions
How long is the drive from Vancouver Airport to Whistler?
Plan on roughly 2 to 3 hours from YVR depending on traffic, weather, airport pickup timing and Highway 99 conditions. Winter storms, collisions or road work can add time.
Is a private transfer different from the Whistler shuttle bus?
Yes. A private transfer reserves the vehicle for your party and takes you to your hotel, condo or chalet without scheduled passenger pickups. Shared coaches operate on published schedules and designated stops.
Can you carry skis and snowboards?
Yes, but equipment must be declared when booking so the vehicle can be matched to the number of passengers, suitcases, ski bags and snowboard bags.
Can we stop in Squamish for groceries or food?
A planned Squamish grocery, meal or supply stop can be added when arranging the trip. Any additional time or stop charge should be confirmed before travel.
What happens if my flight into YVR is delayed?
Provide the airline and flight number when booking. Airport pickups can be coordinated against the actual arrival, with the applicable included waiting period and any additional waiting terms confirmed in advance.
Can we be dropped at a private chalet?
Yes, provided the address is safely accessible to the assigned vehicle. Share any gate, driveway or parking restrictions in advance.
Is Whistler Village the same as Creekside?
No. They are separate resort areas along Highway 99. The exact accommodation name and address should be included in the reservation.
