One-Way Transfer
A one-way transfer covers one journey between two addresses: YXX to a hotel near Bridgeport Station, the Abbotsford terminal to the Richmond Olympic Oval, the airport to a waterfront home in Steveston. For an arrival, the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pickup around the real landing time. Your booking confirmation tells you where to meet, and the exact spot follows the airport's own pickup rules.
Round-Trip Service
Round-Trip Service books both directions in one reservation: the Abbotsford terminal to a guesthouse in Steveston at the start of a visit, then from Steveston back across the region to YXX for the flight home. Since each way takes over an hour, setting both pickups together is the simpler plan. With both directions in one booking, the return is secured from the start; you set both pickup times yourself, and the confirmation lists them.
Hourly Service
Hourly service keeps one chauffeur and one vehicle with you for a set number of hours. When you book, you set the start at YXX, the final address and the hours you need, and you add the day's plan to the reservation so the chauffeur has it before your flight lands. It suits an arrival day with appointments, not a straight run to one hotel.

Abbotsford International Airport to Richmond: Route and Drive Time

This route crosses almost the whole Lower Mainland, from the Fraser Valley to the city at the mouth of the river. The distance is 66 km, and the car takes 1 hour to 1 hour 20 minutes, heading west on the Trans-Canada Highway (Highway 1) before turning towards the delta where Richmond sits.

Richmond is built on islands in the Fraser, and the final kilometres depend on the district. City Centre runs along the Canada Line between Bridgeport and Richmond–Brighouse; Steveston, the old fishing village, lies in the far south-west corner, where the South Arm meets the sea.

Journey times vary with traffic and weather. Give the exact address when you book, and your confirmation shows where the car will pull up.

Meeting Your Chauffeur at Abbotsford International Airport

Abbotsford International is the Lower Mainland's second airport, near Highway 1, the road the car follows west. Passengers here use a single terminal, and the exit is close to the baggage area. The airport does not have US preclearance.

For arrivals, the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pickup around the real landing time. Your booking confirmation tells you where to meet, and the exact spot follows the airport's own pickup rules.

Some travellers land at YXX because their airline's schedule suits them better, then stay in Richmond before a long-haul flight from YVR. In that case the car can take you to a hotel close to the other airport, ready for the next day.

Arriving at Your Address in Richmond

Steveston is the part of Richmond with the strongest pull for visitors. The historic fishing village at the mouth of the South Arm has the Britannia Heritage Shipyard and restaurants along the waterfront, and on Canada Day, 1 July, the Salmon Festival brings crowds into its streets.

The north of the city is busier and more urban. River Rock Casino Resort stands beside Bridgeport Station, with a Show Theatre and a conference centre, and the Richmond Olympic Oval at 6111 River Road hosts sport programs and tournaments in the former 2010 speed skating venue.

Give the exact address when you book, and your confirmation shows where the car will pull up. Around Steveston's waterfront, add the shop, restaurant or dock you need.

From Richmond Back to Abbotsford International Airport

The trip east takes 1 hour to 1 hour 20 minutes, and Friday afternoons, when the whole region leaves for the valley, can add more. You set the pickup time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.

From Steveston, in the south of the city, the start is further from the highway than from Bridgeport. Highway 1 widening near Abbotsford also brings lane shifts on the last part of the drive, so build in a little extra time.

Remember that YXX has no US preclearance. For a US flight with preclearance, Vancouver International is the airport to consider, and it is much closer to Richmond.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before booking your airport transfer with Bookinglane.

Can my pet travel with me from Abbotsford airport to Richmond?

Yes, if you select the pet option when booking. All pets must be in a crate or carrier.

Can I ask for a quiet ride from Abbotsford airport to Richmond?

A quiet ride can be selected in the booking form.

My flight into Abbotsford airport is late: does the pickup for Richmond still work?

Yes. The chauffeur follows your flight, so the pickup follows the actual landing. Complimentary waiting time is included with airport pickups and is counted from the actual landing, which leaves room for customs and baggage claim.

Can I land at YXX and fly out of YVR the next day?

Yes. Book a ride from YXX to a hotel in Richmond, near Vancouver International, and a second short ride to the YVR terminal the next morning. Richmond is 66 km from YXX, 1 hour to 1 hour 20 minutes, and YVR is on Sea Island in the same city.

Can the car take us from Richmond to the Tsawwassen ferry?

Yes, booked as a separate transfer. The route follows Highway 99 out of Richmond, via the George Massey Tunnel, to the Tsawwassen terminal. The BC Ferries crossing to Swartz Bay, north of Victoria, then takes about 1 hour 35 minutes.

What do you need to know about Abbotsford International Airport in 2026–2027?

Richmond's road south, the George Massey Tunnel, is due to be replaced: the main construction phase of a new eight-lane tunnel should begin in 2027, and it is planned to open in 2031. Until then, its counterflow lanes stay in use.
