Montréal-Trudeau (YUL): An Executive Pickup Guide

Montréal-Trudeau handles domestic, U.S., and international arrivals through one terminal, each moving through a different flow before you reach the doors. Here's how a chauffeured pickup works, and where to find your driver.

Domestic, transborder, and international arrivals

YUL runs domestic, U.S. transborder, and international arrivals through a single connected terminal, but the three flows move at different speeds. Domestic arrivals reach the public arrivals area quickly, a chauffeur meets you at the baggage carousel with a name sign. U.S. flights clear preclearance before boarding, so you exit much like a domestic passenger. International arrivals clear Canadian customs and collect baggage first, which adds time before you reach the same arrivals area.

Where your chauffeur meets you

For a pre-arranged chauffeured transfer, your chauffeur personally meets you at Door 24 on the arrivals level once you've collected your luggage, holding a name sign and ready to take your bags. We confirm the exact meeting point in your booking details ahead of the trip so there's no searching around after a long flight.

Flight tracking and delays

Every arrival is tracked in real time, so an early landing or a delay doesn't change your rate or leave a chauffeur guessing. The pickup is timed to when your flight actually lands, and the quoted fare holds regardless of how the schedule shifts.

Private aviation and FBO transfers

YUL's general aviation traffic moves through fixed-base operators on the airport grounds, separate from the main passenger terminal. For a private jet arrival, coordination happens off a tail number and an estimated wheels-down time, with the chauffeur staged at the FBO ahead of arrival, not called after the fact. See the FBO ground-transportation guide for how that coordination works in detail.

Booking a Montréal airport transfer

Every YUL transfer is a fixed, all-in rate confirmed in writing before you travel, coordinated through our vetted Montréal-based chauffeur partners under a single point of contact, so the booking, the billing, and the standard of service are the same as anywhere else in the network. Bilingual French-and-English service is standard. For frequent travel, a corporate account adds centralized billing across every city, including Montréal.
